Hummus is something we generally chow down on when we're getting our health buzz on, so major meltdowns are being had at SHEmazing! HQ today now that dessert hummus has taken a step forward.

Brought to us by Makenzie Marzluff – the founder of Delighted By – dessert hummus comes in a variety of delicious flavours including brownie batter, chocolate chip cookie dough and orange ginger, and is…wait for it…all natural.

According to the Delighted By website, Makenzie's team pride themselves on quality ingredients, saying: "Of course we refuse to use animal products, gluten, preservatives or GMOs. But what truly sets Delighted By apart is our mission to expand beyond just the nutritional component of our hummus."

Not only suitable for vegans and those going gluten-free, Dessert Hummus is the creation of someone 'delighted by hummus' who just wants to spread her glitter all over the world. (Her words, not ours.)

"I heard a message loud and clear that my purpose is to spread my glitter," Makenzie says. "In other words, be the Light that I am. It doesn't matter what I'm doing necessarily, but that I simply show up – and bring my presence, my light, to the world."

 

I'm going to love you with my arms behind my back because I'm going to love you HEART FORWARD.

"The night after hearing this simple but enlightening message, I was blissfully making my dessert hummus. I knew in that moment that this was how I was going to spread my glitter. The next day I quit my job and dove in heart first…..Delighted By was born."

Right now it's only available in the States, so it looks like we have something to add to our list the next time we go Stateside.

While we're all for the standard munch that normally accompanies our trips to the cinema, sometimes it's nice to channel the sophisticated grown-ups we know we are deep-down.

And it looks like the good folk at Dublin's Light House Cinema are with us on this one and have pulled out all the stops for their screening of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie this weekend.

On Sunday July 3rd, Patsy and Edina fans are invited to get their boozy brunch on in the much-loved Smithfield cinema while checking back in with everyone's favourite BFFs.

The idea of ditching our standard popcorn for smoked salmon, cream cheese, and hummus, while opting for a Bellini over a Diet Coke is appealing to us so much right now, so grab the ladies and 'sweetie darling' all over yourself this weekend.

With a two brunch bundles coming in at a very reasonable €20 to choose from, our Sunday is definitely set!

We can't think of a better way to dive into the weekend than by kicking off our standard two-day food-fest with a free burger.

According to Lovin Dublin, the good folk behind Featherblade on Dawson Street are totally with us on that one, and have decided to treat the people of our capital city to their new special…completely free of charge.

While new to the world of burgers, the  restaurant – best known for their steaks – have come up trumps with The Smokey, and they're only dying for all of us to get in on the action.

The burger, which took a whole eight months to perfect, looks like the work of a god, and it can be yours for free between 12 and 3pm on Friday.

"We will be serving until we run out," they said in light of this Friday's offer. "We've been working on 'The Smokey'  for eight months and don't think you'll be disappointed."

Ladies, it's go-time.

We have limited self control as it is when it comes to bread, but the minute it's popped in a toaster, all bets are off.

If you can generally contain yourself around the carby goodness that is a slice of poppyseed loaf, but have never managed to refuse a plate of toast, you're not alone.

According to those in the know – toast scientists obvs – this particular weakness comes down to something known as the Maillard reaction.

The Maillard reaction is a chemical process which takes place between the sugars and amino acids in bread when it is toasted. 

As the process continues, a variety of new compounds are formed which ultimately produce a flavour most of us can't get enough of.

According to a report in Cosmopolitan, the most appealing among these are known as furanones which are responsible for the uber-comforting feeling you get from a mountain of hot, buttered toast.

Oh, and then there's that unmistakable smell…

Look, we all know there's nothing better than a full fry-up encased in warm buttery bread when you're hanging, and not being able to get your hands on one can be pure torture.

But even we draw the line at travelling the whole way to Co Mayo for one of the nation's go-to cures no matter how reasonable the price.

So, we're not sure how successful this Done Deal user is going to be after deciding to sell a jumbo breakfast roll online for a cool €2 this weekend.

Sharing a snap of the giant baguette – which has definitely seen better days – Ian Costello wrote: "Jumbo breakfast roll. Price is price. Zero mileage. No time wasters."

The ad, which was uploaded a day ago, has been viewed a whopping 944 times, but is still (shockingly) up for grabs.

Any takers?

If you can tell your Macchiato from your Mocha and your Cappuccino from your Cortado with only a half a glance, then you’re going to be all OVER the World of Coffee event taking place in Dublin this week.

Kicking off on Thursday and running until Saturday, the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe will be hosting a series of events in the capital which is bound to impress even the most clued-in caffeine connoisseur.

From taste-testing the latest brews and sweating it out in the Java Jog to cheering on the competitors in the World Barista Championship and learning more about your daily caffeine fix, this is all you’ll need to officially earn your title as Queen of the Coffee Bean.

And if you’re still struggling to tell the difference between your instant mix and your gravy granules, then this is definitely the time to get stuck in.

Ladies, it looks like it's our time to shine.

Losing interest in having the same old sandwich everyday for lunch?  Us too.

That’s why we’ve scrolled through Instagram desperately seeking some san-spiration.

And – as always – the internet has not let us down.

Take a look!

The healthy one: Cream cheese, lettuce, steak, onion, tomato, smoked chicken and cucumber on sourdough bread. 

Honey-glazed pulled pork baguette with greens, herbs and pickled root vegetables – you had us at honey-glazed.

Anyone who’s been to the States knows the joy of a good Lobster Roll.

Truffled egg salad in a croissant. 

Strawberry french toast counts as a sandwich, right?

Salted beef brisket dipped in beef gravy dripping, pickled onions, fresh chilli, rocket, horse radish and American mustard.

Nom!

No need to mess with a classic Philly Cheese Steak sandwich.

A new kind of breakfast.

And we’re not quite sure what’s in this one, but man is it pretty!

Remember the last time you took a slug of a cool drink and all your imperfections disappeared?

Yeah, us neither, but it looks like we’ve been drinking the wrong thing, ladies.

Generally, when we crack a can or two we end up talking too much and falling off our chair, but it seems some cans want more for us than our standard off-licence purchases.

Buddha Water, which comes in some very slick packaging and can be found in a variety of delish flavours, apparently has a major effect on our overall appearance.

From banishing cellulite and stimulating weight loss to improving skin condition and kickstarting the metabolism, this organic super-water sounds like the sort of thing we’d fantasise about after a particular heavy weekend.

Low in calories and free from sugar and colourings, Buddha Water seems to have it all, but only time (and our thighs) will tell…

You can stock up here…

We don't claim to know much about wine.

From choosing our vino based on the price to opting for one bottle over another simply because of its label, we're far from aficionados.

The one thing we DO know, however, is that white wine goes in the fridge and red wine goes on the counter, right? Well no, not exactly.

According to Jancis Robinson, the editor of The Oxford Companion to Wine, refusing to store your red wine in the fridge is a fool's game.

Speaking at the Hay Festival – a Welsh literary festival – Jancis urged us to ignore the myths and chill every damn bottle of vino we own.

"Put any open bottle in the fridge. Even red wine," she said. "Low temperatures slow down chemical reactions including oxidation, which is the enemy of an open bottle."

According to The Independent, it seems chilling wine, whether it's red or white, will help it to last longer and ensure a full-bodied flavour.

Excuse us, we have some rearranging to do at home.

We love nothing more than eating out or grabbing a bite on the go, so we like to know that everyone is on their best game when it comes to serving the public.

And with the weather heating up and more of us opting to eat out rather than slave over a hot stove, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland have issued a health and safety warning to businesses around the country.

The stark warning comes after 12 closure orders were issued to food businesses during the month of May.

Under the FSAI Act, 1998, Closure Orders were issued to:

  • Syrian Foods (food stall), 14 Creagh Woods, Gorey, Wexford
  • Chens Chinese Take Away, Parnell Street, Mountmellick, Laois
  • Centra Lower William Street (supermarket), 9 William Street, Limerick
  • Mr Simms Old Sweet Shoppe (sweet shop), 59 Dame Street, Dublin 2
  • Lal Quila (restaurant), Tramway Terrace, Douglas Village, Douglas, Cork
  • China Kitchen (restaurant), Market Place, Clonmel, Tipperary

Under the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010, further Closure Orders were issued to:

  • “Paddy Jack” food stall (Closed activity: cooking of raw meat), Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
  • Kashmir Kebab House (take away), 15 Davis Street, Limerick
  • New Curry House (take away), 62 Newcastle Road Lower, Galway
  • The Nest (pre-school) (Closed activity: use of the main kitchen at the rear of the premises), Block C, Brabazon Hall, Ardee Street, Dublin 8
  • Caoch O'Leary (public house), Ballacolla, Laois
  • El Grito (restaurant), (Closed activity: preparation of raw kebabs), 3 Merchants Arch, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Reminding businesses of the importance of exercising extra caution during particular weather conditions, Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI said: “It is particularly important during the summer months that all food businesses adhere to the strictest food safety measures.”

“All food businesses must have robust food safety management systems in place to ensure the highest protection for their customers,” she continued.

“We advise all food businesses, to ensure they are prepared for the increase in temperature and that all staff are trained to ensure that best food safety procedures are understood and applied."

Oh we'd heard of pineapple toppings alright, but a watermelon pizza? Nah, that hadn't yet figured on our radar…until now.

After poring over Sharon Hearne Smith's latest release, The No-Cook Cookbook, we are seriously thinking that the healthy life is the one for us.

In honour of the incredible weather we're all getting our sizzle on to, it seems right that we share one of the tastiest – and most refreshing – recipes in the book.

Ladies, we give you the watermelon pizza.

SERVES 2 (or 4 as a starter!)

2 x round watermelon slices, about 20cm in diameter, 2cm thick

2 ripe yellow, orange or red tomatoes, thinly sliced

2 fresh figs

100g feta cheese

50g pitted black olives, halved

25g roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped

Small handful of fresh mint leaves

Small handful of fresh wild rocket

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

RASPBERRY DRESSING:

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar

100g raspberries

Method

To make the dressing, whisk the oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Add the raspberries and whisk them in gently until roughly crushed. Season to taste.

Remove any seeds from the watermelon slices, if you prefer. Spread with half of the raspberry dressing, reserving the rest.

Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer across each watermelon slice, then cut each ‘pizza’ into six even-sized wedges, before placing the pieces back together in their circular shape on serving plates.

Cut each fig into six even-sized wedges and arrange one on each pizza. Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the top. Dot with the olives and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Scatter over the hazelnuts, mint and rocket, and serve at once.

For a twist…

 Meat-eaters can top their pizza with ruffles of Parma or Serrano ham.

Long leisurely brunches are by far our favourite part of any weekend, and the only thing that could top them would be finding out we didn't have to get out of bed to get our mitts on one.

So, we are pumped that the city's incredible food delivery service, Deliveroo, has decided to up their game even more and add our favourite brunch spots to their list of restaurants.

From 9am tomorrow, they good folk behind Deliveroo will be dropping off mouthwatering meals from Brother Hubbard, Cocu, Doughboys, Sister Sadie, Eathos, Freshii. Krust Bakery, Counter Culture and Dublin Cookie Co. to anyone lucky enough to be living in Dublin 1,2 and 4.

And girls, it gets EVEN better so prepare yourselves.

With the Deliveroo app, you have the option to schedule a delivery a day in advance, so if you're falling into bed on a Friday night, you can console yourself by knowing you'll be waking up to your favourite brunch the following morning.

What in the hell is this pure unadulterated joy?!
