I fully admit that it’s supposed to be all about the “healthy” foods at the start of the New Year. Lover of nachos and a person who regularly gives into cravings, I say let’s eat these Loaded Greek Pita Nachos with lamb, a crazy amount of veggies, a bit of feta and drizzled with a lemony hummus sauce.
I’m pretty sure this means that I’ve caught “nacho fever” as it shall now be diagnosed. I’m keen to figure out a way to make loaded Thai nachos and all other sorts of moderately healthy nachos. Because sometimes in life, we need ask “why not?” amongst finding balance without going completely overboard.
