Roasted Carrot Hummus

I have only recently started to make my own hummus, and now that I have, I am wondering what took me so long!!

It is so quick and easy, and ends up being MUCH cheaper than buying store-bought. Obviously, you have the added advantage of knowing exactly what you are eating, and cutting out preservatives and additives often found in processed foods!

Spicy Red Lentil and Tomato Soup with Kidney Beans

This is a lovely, thick soup that is perfect for dipping bread into !!

Lentils are a brilliant source of fibre, as well as copper, manganese, zinc and vitamin B1, B5 and B6. Red lentils are great for soups, or daals, as when cooked they form a thick mush. This is super for a soup base, especially for those of you who are gluten free and want to avoid adding flour to thicken up your soup!
