Egg Parmesan “Pasta” Breakfast

September 9, 2016 by Ariel Leave a Comment

EggParmesanPastaBreakfast-11

I felt a little wild after watching all those cooking shows on Netflix and this is where this dish comes from.  You often see big chefs trying to re-invent dishes in order to enhance their guest’s experience through confusion and technique so my mind went… why not making a breakfast that looks like dinner!?

….right?? 🙃 Why not.

Green Spinach Pesto

Green_Spinach_Pesto_01

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!

Grilled Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Parmesan

April 25, 2012 by Ariel 5 Comments

I know what most of you are going to say… “I don’t like Brussels Sprouts” but think again.. when was the last time you tried?  You were probably very young and now that your taste have changed you didn’t think about trying them again?  Give it a shot, it’s worth it!

I asked myself the same question, not too long ago, when I saw a bag of these little things at the grocery.  I looked at them for a moment than I thought about all the food that I was not eating as a kid that I now enjoy… maybe it was going to be the same for the sprouts?  I decided to give them a shot but I was very skeptical about the whole thing.. I remembered my mom making some when I was younger and I  HATED my first experience with Brussels Sprouts, till I tried this very simple recipe…
