Worth reading your labels!
The most expensive is not always the best…

I was hugely surprised at the difference in meat in these sausages. Unfortunately a lot of sausage brands have the lower amount. That’s why it’s important to read your labels

Hummus

I always have hummus in the fridge, its so versatile & makes a great snack with carrots, cucumber or red peppers to dip into it, (bread sticks work well too). It’s a great snack to bring to work or school too as it transports well. It also works in place of butter on toast/bagel or a wrap. It’s also a good source of protein.
While you can buy hummus in most major supermarkets its so easy to make that I have enclosed a recipe here.

Ingredients
1 tin chickpeas, drained & rinsed
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic crushed
1 dessertspoon olive oil
2 dessertspoons tahini paste
Pinch sea salt & pepper
1 dessertspoon of water

1. Put all the ingredients into a blender & blend until smooth.
2. The longer you blend the smoother it will be.
3. Store covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
