So today’s post is less of a recipe and more of an excuse to take your daily frustrations out on a sweet potato! Well, not really as I’m pretty sure these smashed sweet potatoes will actually become your new favourite snack idea – but the enjoyment you’ll derive from smashing and squashing these sweet taters into submission is something I bet you’ll …
Low Carb Green Cabbage & Fennel Coleslaw
Can you believe that originally I wanted this to be a brightly purple-coloured, low carb slaw recipe?
