Plonk a nice egg on top with some sea salt flakes.

I'm a salt fiend!

Also I can never buy guacamole in shops. It's sooo much nicer homemade and easy too:

Avocado 🥑
Cherry tomatoes quartered 🍅
Finely chopped red onion
Coriander leaves
Salt
Pepper
Squeeze one lime in and mash all together. I don't mash too much as I like it chunky.

It's divine!

Tomatoes on toast 😍

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 10/02/2021 19:07

Ooh yes, macaroni cheese - but has to be homemade with plenty of good strong Cheddar and a dollop of English mustard in the sauce. Never cheesy enough anywhere else.

Cheese on toast with onion and Worcester sauce.

Welsh rarebit - I’m seeing a trend here...
