Dips for the BBQ!


Summer season is here in the U.K which means lovely days hot and sunny that end up in a BBQ followed by a day or too of showers and cloud! Whatever the weather hummus and dips are delicious and versatile. In supermarkets they come in horrible plastic tubs. This photo is of a cannelloni bean and beetroot dip and hummus with pomegranate seeds. I did use tins that will be recycled but all the other ingredients were fresh and bought loose. They taste so much better than the ones in a plastic pot. A tin makes loads and it will keep for a week in the fridge. Yum!


30 days to make a change! June


So, last month was all about using bars of soap instead of shower gels. I hope you found some lovely soaps!

This month I'm going to be all about making small easy changes. Not getting rid of anything but finding friendly packaging. For example, each time I buy a bottle to choose glass over plastic.

I found biodegradable cloths:

And sponges made from recycled materials. The spong part is biodegradable too!

Good luck and happy shopping!
