The perfect guacamole

I'm a bit of an avocado fiend... I love them. They're good for your skin and delicious.

I love guacamole but hate the store bought muck. So I put together a little recipe of how to make the best guacamole... ever. 

You will need:
-2 ripe avocados
-1 whole lemon
-Hot pepper sauce
-A potato masher
-A bowl

Take the skins off your avocados, pop them in a bowl and mash them up with a potato masher.

Once they are all mushed squeeze a whole lemon and put a heaped tbsp of hot sauce.

Voila! The perfect guac.

If you're tired of the store bought muck too, give this a try! It is healthier, tastier and really quick to do.

Eggvocado

Mornings, bleurgh. I am not a morning person. I hate having to crawl out of my warm, snuggly, bed every morning to spend ages making a warm breakfast then shoved out the door into the cold to make my way to an even colder place to work. So when i stumbled across the eggvocado a little light shone down from heaven and i swear i heard angels sing (ok, maybe i'm exaggerating a little but it definitely felt like that!).

You will need:
1 egg
1 half of an avocado
foil
chilli flakes
golden syrup

Preheat your oven to 190 degrees. Halve your avocado, take out the seed then grab a spoon and hollow out the avocado a little.

Place your avocado on piece of foil, crack an egg and put it in the hollowed out bit of your avocado. Drizzle with golden syrup and sprinkle a few chilli flakes. Carefully wrap it all up and pop in your oven for 14-15 minutes. (I like my yolk really runny, if you want it done a little more pop it back in for a few 2 more minutes.) (NOTE: if you put the syrup on before it will be running and may look like egg whites so don't be fooled. Test the yolk instead or just add syrup after.)


Take it out of the oven and enjoy the gooey goodness that requires minimal effort- what more could you ask for?
