Let’s be honest, it can be a bore always trying to come up with new vegetarian meal options, so here I am making it easier for you 🙂 This was super easy to throw together, absolutely deliciously comforting and full of nutrients. I brought it with to a dinner party where all the other guests…

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

The staples of any of our meals were parsley, garlic, olive oil, coriander and paprika with lots of tomatoes and red peppers. So when I started roasting the peppers to make this…
