Healthy Smooth Guacamole (Avocado Dip)

Healthy Smooth Guacamole (Avocado Dip)

Guacamole goes with everything: salads, vegetables, meat, in sandwiches...I make so many different variations all the time depending on what ingredients I have, but mostly how lazy I'm feeling! Usually, I'll scoop a ripe avocado onto a plate, mash it with a fork, add lots of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of pepper and call it 'Guacamole'. It tastes so good and fresh simply like that, but if you're having Mexican food (say Fajitas!) then you have to do it properly.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Pecans

I feel that Brussels sprouts are neglected all year round apart from Christmas. I can only find them locally around this time and it makes me sad, because I LOVE BRUSSELS SPROUTS! I realise not everyone shares my passion for the humble sprout and I guess I can understand why. I always used to boil or steam my Brussels sprouts which I must admit did get boring after a while. That's before I discovered roasting them instead!

Healthy Rhubarb Crumble Bars

I must admit I’m not the biggest fan of fruit pies, or cooked fruit desserts. I prefer eating my fruit raw and cold; however, rhubarb is one of those fruit (a vegetable, actually!) that you can’t eat any other way apart from cooked…so I thought why not give it a try. It’s so deliciously tart and not too sweet. In fact, I only used 2 tbsp sweetener in the filling and it was just right! Traditional recipes use anywhere between ½ and 1 cup of sugar for the filling alone!
