Sweet & Salty Cajun Roasted Almonds

February 2, 2013 by Ariel 4 Comments

I always have nuts laying around in my house.  Either roasted with spices or just raw, I love them all.  It’s a great and healthy way for me to get a boost of energy and make sure I eat all your good fat and control my blood sugar to get me through the day at the computer or on the go at a photo shoot.  I’ve been wanting to show you all the great recipes you can do with my homemade cajun spice blend but didn’t had much time as you can probably see by the number of updates on the site.  So this morning I decided that enough was enough and I had to shoot at least one recipe!  Good news, I ended shooting 3 new recipes including this one so make sure you don’t miss the next updates because they are going to be delicious 😛

Ok enough chatting and more recipe right?  I hope you’ll enjoy this simple snack that can be eaten on the go or maybe while you’re watching the football game on Sunday? 😉

Roasted Fennel with Grains of Paradise, Honey and Thyme

January 25, 2013 by Ariel 1 Comment

I meant to post this yesterday but life had decided otherwise…

 Here’s the first recipe of many others where I’m using the amazing grains of paradise that we learned about in my previous post.  Like I told you in that post, one of my favorite uses for these amazing peppery seeds is on roasted veggies and what’s better than roast fennel bulbs seriously.  This recipe is simple and delicious plus you can serve this side dish with pretty much anything.  I personally love it on the side of  a big juicy steak 😉

Enjoy!

December 12, 2012 by Ariel 3 Comments

Delicate, simple and flavorful…. I really think this soup is going to rock your world on a cold and rainy day or simply when you feel sick and uninspired to make food.  Pretty much like me today… the cold weather is really putting a down on my mood but at least I get to do what I like and it’s to come here to post new recipes.

I’m hoping you will enjoy this soup, the mix between the sweetness of the honey and the very distinct aroma of the fresh fennel and fennel seeds really give it something original and comforting.  Let me know how it turned out!

Ok so here’s another fun recipe featuring the amazing vegetable that is carrot!  Like I told you recently, I bought a TON and I have to go over all the possibilities of what you can do with them…  These carrot fries could be present as a side dish or stand alone as a snack… also don’t forget that it’s much more healthier than regular fries!  I had them marinate for 24 hours for even more great taste… trust me, you want to try them!
