Recipe: Salad Rolls
I love salad rolls – yet paying 8.99$ each time at the store for them seems a bit ridiculous when they’re easy to make. Great for lunches, too! For these salad rolls, I used 22cm rice papers, they do make them bigger, but I find it difficult to make them tight when they’re too big. Your choice! Ingredients 7-9 rice wraps 4-6 leaf lettuce leaves a cucumber 2 carrots 1 avocado Dipping Sauce Ingredients 2 1/2 tablespoons of rice vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons of fish…

Guacamole Again
Guacamole Again I make guacamole a lot – about once a week, so here we are, making Bueno Burritos and, of course, making Holy Guacamole again!! It’s so easy and good – avocados are rich in healthy fats and high in fibre and potassium. Good for you! Why is my guacamole always in a purple bowl? Green and purple are opposites on the colour wheel so they make each other pop! Kind of like why green eyed girls where pinks and purples around their eyes – pop,…
