Skin Tips
NEW VEG
Over the weekend, find a vegetable or fruit that you have NEVER had before - then try to find a Detox recipe for it....variety is the spice of DETOX LIFE!
Spinach, Cinnamon and Cloves
Wendy from the USA has asked about Spinach, Cinamon and Cloves, it's a big YES to all these - nutmeg too, in fact all spices and herbs. It is really easy to think that 'detoxing' has no flavour but I find the richness of flavour is what always amazes me when you 'go healthy'
DETOX in readiness for DETOX...
Make sure that your cupboards and fridge are free from Non Detox goods, chuck out the mince pies, tuck into the leftover chocs and box up the caffeine. Once you start your programme, it's best not to have anything in temptations way.....

DETOX Recipe

OK, here goes!  The first recipe I am blogging was chosen because my sister texted me from Sainsburys' today to get the recipe - we had it at a family weekend, and believe me, if she likes it then it must be delicious as she is a bit of a foodie!  In fact it went down well with everyone, including the children.

It is taken from DELIA SMITHS Winter Collection - I know, I've had it ages and it's a staple. 

It's the Salsa part of the Winter Black Bean Chilli recipe (ignore the chilli bit and just tuck into the salsa when Detoxing) I use it as a side salad or for lunch I mix with short grain brown rice and if I'm particularly hungry then I add tuna or salmon or smoked mackerel....

So (serves 4)

2 large firm tomatoes peeled, deeseeded and chopped (pour boiling water over toms and wait 1 min and the skins peel of easily)

1 ripe firm avocado, peeled and diced

1 small red onion peeled and diced

large handful of fresh coriander leaves, stalks removed

Juice of a lime and a few drops of Tabasco plus fresh black pepper.

Mix all together in a bowl and tuck in.  It will keep in the fridge and shouldn't go soggy if you make sure you peel and deseed the toms first.

This sounds lovely but I thought tomatos were off limits?
