Carrot Top Pesto & Spiraled Zucchini

September 25, 2016

Disclaimer: Hamilton Beach provided me with their 3-in-1 Spiralizer in order to conduct this review. All words, recipes and opinions are entirely my own.

Cauliflower “Couscous” and Date Salad

I have made this salad twice now. And I rarely make such a precise dish so often (unless it is baby arugula salad with a creamy dressing. That’s too delicious not to be a regular). But this one definitely made the cut and here is why: the ingredients are amazing, the flavours outstanding, and the healthiness factor off the charts. I know ...

This soup recipe is no exception, as the bright peas are brought to life with the accompanying fresh basil and mint. The mascarpone cheese, added right at the end, makes for a beautiful velvety ...
