I have to be honest, veggies are not my thing. I find them challenging to prepare and consume.
But every so often I come across a recipe that is a total winner, simple and delicious – like this salad. So much so that I’ve had it almost every week this year. Yes, I realize it’s only the third week of January, but it’s promising 😉
While for most, this is the unofficial week of salads and green juice, given that many of us over-indulged over the holidays or have resolutions to release weight and get healthy in 2016; I’m not quite ready to give up on warm and comforting flavours and foods. Probably because Calgary is in the midst of a cold spell, without a Chinook insight.
Complaining about the weather aside, this Butternut Squash Soup is the perfect post holiday transition, thick and comforting, but hearty, filling and healthy. Normally one who needs protein at every meal, this soup even fills me up and tides me over till my next meal. So hold off on the salads for another week and enjoy this gloriously thick and luscious soup instead!
Nothing says the weekend, or in this case a New Year, like light and fluffy pancakes. And these Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, are on a another level.
I have to admit, I usually prefer a savory start to my day, with perhaps a bite or two of something sweet. But these pancakes are such a hit with family and friends, that on special occasions or when I have a house full of belly’s to fill, only these will do!
