Sharing a tin of chocolates is a staple part of Christmas evenings. The trouble is, a box of Lindors is pretty hard to share—and when you get a box, there’s only a couple of each flavor.

This year, Lindt have finally solved this problem by introducing an assorted tin of Lindor truffles. There will be 32 different flavors, which means plenty of choice and plenty to go around.

The official product description reads: “Share the bliss with Lindt Lindor chocolate truffles Assorted Tin, with six blissful varieties included there’s a flavor for everyone: from classic Milk, White and Extra Dark truffles, or our irresistible Hazelnut, Milk & White or NEW Salted Caramel.

“The Lindt Master Chocolatiers combine expertise and the finest ingredients to produce the perfectly round chocolate shell filled with an irresistibly smooth melting center. Since 1845, Lindt has been dedicated to producing the finest chocolates and the recipes created by the Lindt Master Chocolatiers are of the highest quality to delight your taste buds.

Falafel Burger

You can make a delicious falafel burger out of chick peas. Drain the chickpeas thoroughly and pulse in the food processor until lightly broken up – don’t turn them into paste. To flavor, add garlic, onion, corriander and chili powder to taste. Mould the breadcrumb texture mixture into patties and fry for 5 minutes until they are golden and crisp. Serve with hummus or tahini.

The Noodles

The first step is choosing the right noodles. Wide rice noodles are traditionally used in the dish and they cook quickly. Boil your noodles in a pot until al dente and drain.

The Sauce

For the sauce, whisk together 1 tbsp of fish sauce, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, a lime’s worth of juice and 2 tbsp of brown sugar. Add cayenne pepper according to how spicy you want your dish to be.

The Yummy Goodness

In a nonstick frying pan, gry up the veg and fish you have chosen for your dish. Our top choice is red bell pepper, onions, garlic, and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper to taste and make sure the shrimp is cooked until pink.

Bringing It Together

Push the shrimp and veg to one side of your pan. Next, pour in an egg and scramble until it is about to set. Mix this in with the shrimp mixture and then add your cooked noodles. Toss until combined and then add in your sauce until the noodles are fully coated.

Season and Serve

Garnish your dish with spring onions, parsley and roasted peanuts. Keep some chili sauce nearby for those who need it.

If you’ve gone for breakfast at a trendy cafe recently, you might have been surprised to see what looks like tiny chunks of yellow fish food sprinkled over your ‘health boosting’ oatmeal. If this is the case, then what you have been eating was probably bee pollen, the new health trend that’s taking the West by storm. So what are these ‘amazing’ benefits that it boasts?

It boosts liver health

The liver is responsible for filtering out the toxins in your body. Researchers found that bee pollen helps maintain a healthy liver and can even help heal liver damage.

Good Digestion

Bee pollen contains enzymes that can help digestion and assist the body in getting the nutrients it needs from your food.

It’s good for your skin

The amino acids and vitamins in bee pollen protect the skin and speed up regeneration of cells.

Energy Boost

Feeling sluggish? Don’t we all. The good news is that the nutrients in bee pollen can give you a natural energy boost. This is due to the carbohydrates, protein and B vitamins that it contains.

Reduces Stress

Bee pollen can even help reduce stress because it increases blood flow to the body’s nervous system.

Avocado Cups

Cut your avocado in half then toss the pit and scoop out the flesh. Dice the flesh and mix it with some olive oil, vinegar, and fresh herbs of your choice. If you’re feeling decadent, you can even add a bit of mozzarella or spice. When you’ve mixed it up, spoon it back into the skin for a tasty snack.

Soup

Blend two or three avcocados with some garlic and coconut milk. Add some salt, pepper, cilantro, and coconut oil then chill in the fridge. Serve within a few hours for a summery soup.

Make it into a Smoothie

An avocado smoothie is a great way to start your day. Put avocado, kale, banana, honey, and milk into a blender then serve up for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

Grill it

Quarter your avocado but leave on the skin. Season with a bit of salt and pepper then grill the fruit on all sides. Sprinkle some spice and add a little oil and your avocado is now too good for your toast.

Avocado Jelly

You can find avocado jelly recipes quite easily online. In general, you’ll need a few avocados with 100ml of fresh milk, 3 tbsp of condensed milk, 15g jelly powder, 600 ml of cold water, and sugar to your taste. It’s certainly a strange recipe but it’s also absolutely fabulous.

It’s happened to us all in one capacity or another. Rather than attempt to open the bottle with your teeth or give up altogether, it turns out there are actually better and less risky ways to pop open a bottle.

The first way is with a sturdy kitchen tool. By running the knife along the bottle seam to the neck, the pressure combined with the impact causes the bottle’s neck to break from its body. The whole top of the bottle should then come flying off.

If you do not have a kitchen tool then do not fear. It also looks as if you can open a bottle of wine with an actual shoe, and we’re pretty sure you’ll have one of those handy. Instead of trying to explain it to you, it’s probably best to just watch the video below.

Have you tried either of these techniques? Let us know in the comments below!
