Broccoli Hummus with Spicy Sausage
OMG even if you’re not a sausage fan – spicy or otherwise, you have to try this broccoli ‘hummus’. While it’s completely nontraditional, it is soo soo delicious. Use it anywhere you’d normally serve hummus.

One of my favourite Low Carb tricks is to take classic Italian pasta dishes and switch the pasta for cooked veggies.
It’s asparagus season here! And while my baby asparagus patch has some shoots showing, I’m waiting until next year to start harvesting.
Egg fried rice is one of my favourite go-to meals for small boys (and big Irishmen)! So I’m always looking for ways to tweak it and make it more exciting.
This pizza is named for my Swedish friend 'Bluey' whose real name is Malin.
Just so you know, I don’t use the term ‘best ever’ lightly. But in this case I really feel it’s well deserved. The first time I made this I thought we were going to have loads of leftovers for breakfast / lunch but my Irishman loved it so much he polished off the whole bowl in one sitting… An accolade usually reserved for dishes involving potatoes… The highest praise!
I know you're thinking 'so what's the secret Jules?'. And I'm glad you asked, although I need you to promise this is just between you and me ;)
Creamed spinach unexpectedly stole the show. I still remember the first time I had creamed spinach at a fancy restaurant.
I thought I was scarred for life.

Full disclosure: The inspiration for this delicious one pot wonder didn’t come from my brain alone. It was a creation I made with my students in our 21-Day Confident Cook Adventure live cook-a-long session. Of course I had an inkling that this Broccoli Tuna Recipe would be good.
While I tend to prefer fresh broccoli, this soup is also great made with frozen broccoli florettes. Just pop the frozen broccoli straight in the pan – it shouldn’t take much longer to cook and will save you the chopping step. To make this soup in under 10 minutes, boil water in the kettle to speed things along. When chopping the broccoli, I like to finely slice most of the stems and add them to the pot so I minimize the wastage.
I've been a fan of using red lentils to make a healthier and much easier (hello no constant stirring!) spin on risotto for a few years now.
Fish and chips was my favourite favourite meal when I was growing up.
This was another one of those ideas I resisted for a long time because of less-than-favourable childhood memories.
It’s funny how ideas come and go. Years ago I created a Zucchini Burger recipe and was super excited about veggie burgers that actually contained vegetables. At the time I was keen to try a broccoli burger.
For years and years this tuna sauce was my favourite-go to for a quick weeknight pasta. And then I stopped eating pasta. Which meant I forgot about the sauce.
This is a great little salad combo. I just love the contrast between the hot crispy beef and the smooth creamy ricotta. So good.
This is one of my all time favourite week night dinners.
For years this raw broccoli salad with avocado and almond was my favourite. Although it was quite labour intensive to chew. And I was finding that it was getting difficult to digest as well.
This is one of those substantial main course salads that the French do so well. It also doubles nicely as a side salad without the extra protein.
I just love love love the combo of goats cheese and olives. It's tangy, It's salty, It's briny. It's a flavour explosion.
Don’t be alarmed! This recipe doesn’t actually contain any blood!
Lately I’ve been having loads of fun playing around with frozen veg. Not only are they super convenient, they’re also so inexpensive!
