Healthy Chicken & Carrot Bowl

April 15, 2015 by Ariel 1 Comment

FINAL1

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?

FINAL3

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! 🙂

What Sodium Carbonate can do for you…

A delicious ramen bowl have been on my mind for days and my last experience, months ago, in New York is starting to feel like a distant memory.  I’m salivating to the thought of a delicious, silky and salty broth and the chewy texture of homemade noodles but my palate can barely grab on to this souvenir as days goes…
