Zucchini Bowls

March 6, 2014 karishma

I was never a fan of zucchini chunks in minestrone soups because of its one dimentional soft consistency. My friend, Devina, made these awesome Zucchini Parmesan Crisps (featured on The Mess I Make) and I started exploring other ways to eat zucchini squash.

I made these cute zucchini bowls, that almost look like sushi rolls, for a Christmas dinner (sorry, this is a super late post) hosted by the newlyweds, #KenVina (Ken and Devina). Carving out the zucchini bowls is moderately labor intensive but the end result is super adorable so it is all worth it, I promise!

Garlicky Chard

Want to take a break from kale? Give chard a chance. It’s a nutritious green and makes a great warm salad. I made this super easy warm chard-red quinoa salad in less than 15 minutes for a quick lunch. Its loaded with garlic and I topped it with tomatoes to add some freshness. You can add other veggies for more color and taste, add an egg, grilled tofu…this has endless possibilities!

Remember the vegetarian ramen I made with matcha noodles? Well, the matcha obsession continues. Instead of using plain sea salt for the edamame pods, I added matcha to it. This instantly made my mid-afternoon snack extra special.
