I wasn’t sure how to call this one. Is it a soup? Is it a bowl?
Since I didn’t make a “bowl” category, this went in the soup section. Searching for something easy to make, filling, healthy and super delicious? …Or, like me, you just came across a BIG bag of carrot at the grocery and you need to use it asap?
The recipe calls for carrot “noodles”… to make them, use your hand grater and like if you were to remove the first layer of skin, continue grating more and more of your carrot till you arrive at the core. Personally, I don’t use the core for “noodles” because the taste is a little too strong in my opinion but by all mean, save the planet, don’t be picky like me and use the whole thing. *^_^*
Hope you enjoy this recipe,
Bon Appétit! 🙂

Because it doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. Here’s a simple recipe with easy to find, local ingredients that you can make at any time of the day! Part of the #NoRecipe trend on twitter… it could easily be become a fun appetizer if cut in small pieces.
Enjoy!
It’s one of those recipes that will make you look like you actually took time to think about your “concept” when it fact it was the easiest and…let’s say it… laziest recipe ever 😛 lol!
If I may suggest, serve the whole thing right on the baking sheet, for a rustic look, and add some chopped cilantro or basil as a little happy green colour to your presentation.

“Eat your greens or you wont have any desert!”
…probably a sentence everybody heard a few times during their childhood. I don’t remember being over difficult to feed as a child, beside the terrifying grilled white cod filet with tomatoes my mom used to make (I still have nightmares about it, true story), so I was happy (most of the time) to eat my greens.
Kale was introduce to my diet much later in life. I do not recall my mom or dad buying any but, back then, the trend was more to eat spinach and I clearly remember the creamed spinach side dish my mom used to make. Let me tell you… THAT was insanely delicious and now that I think about it, I’ll have to ask her for the recipe next time I see her.
You could probably make this soup with baby spinach as well. Why do I say baby and no regular spinach? Only because I’m thinking the bitterness of the fully grown spinach might be a little bit too overpowering for the humble and light taste of this soup. While you can still try, I’m thinking that by trying to cover the bitterness, you might feel the push to add more salt and we all know by now that salt is a big no no for our dear arteries.
You can rock this soup in about 1:30 maximum and that’s with the prep included. For those busy and lazy week nights, a comforting soup made with real and a small amount of ingredients is always welcome.
Bon Appetit!
I hope you’ll enjoy this fun vegan and gluten free risotto, perfect for a busy week night and a next day lunch! 🙂
Here’s a fun and “jazzed up” pesto recipe made with fresh baby spinach, hemp seeds, arugula, coriander, Parmesan and more! The first time I made this, it was to go with some homemade raviolis stuffed with light ricotta and feta cheese and ohhhhhh! …I made a lot of happy tummy that night.
To make the pasta sauce, I stretched a few tablespoons of this pesto with coconut milk and a tab more garlic (I’m obsessed with garlic so taste before adding more) and just like that, I had made an flavorful and creamy sauce. Later that week, I used it for grilling some juicy steaks and even made a dip for the meat! Both experiences were very welcomed by everybody who had the chance to taste it and now it’s your turn to try 🙂
Hope you like it!

Ok, I went a little bit more artistic with these images… I thought the contrast of the small plate presenting a soup could be interesting and leave me a fun canvas to add my topping (here I choose a coriander and yellow hot pepper chutney with a crispy nori sheet). I love the art of Food styling. It’s an art that I do not master yet but every photo shoots is a fun challenge and now that I’m also getting better with all of my camera options, I try to let myself go a little bit more and experiment with bolder presentation for my recipes.
I think I’ve also seen that style on another food blog that I enjoy where the cook often present his soups in a plate with barely any soup in it but with fun topping that makes the whole thing enjoyable for the eyes. This is my first attempt at it and it didn’t come out too bad don’t you think? I would LOVE to have your feedback on this one, this is really far fetch for me but if you guys like it, I might feel a little less bad to experiment with more daring styles for the upcoming recipes.
So this is the Paleo Hubbard Squash soup that I served last week end to my friend who has the digestive condition. The more I keep reading on the caveman diet, the more I like it. Obviously I would never be able to follow it closely in my everyday life but I enjoy the fact that it makes me experiment more with coconut products like dried coconut flakes and coconut water. The mix of the squash with the coconut milk and water really what makes this soup delicious and I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe as much as I did 🙂
PS: Feel free to modify this recipe and use any of your favorite winter squashes! I’m pretty sure that it would be amazing as well 🙂

I’ve been asked to post more vegetarian and vegan recipes on twitter…. I wont lie, I sometime find it constraining to create vegan approved recipes but I try to look at it as a challenge. Now since I love challenges, this is actually pretty fun and this vegan cauliflower & watercress soup is of the deliciousness that I have been able to create up to date 🙂
In this recipe, I used a Lipton onion soup pouch because I find that it’s adding a fun new dimension to the taste but you really don’t have to add it in there 🙂 What really makes this coup special is the grounded fenugreek seeds because they are giving you the impression of chicken broth without any being in there 🙂
Anyways, enough chatting and more tasting! …I hope you’ll enjoy this healthy recipe 🙂
