1 Veggie cube

6 big carrots cleaned and diced

1/4 tsp celery salt

1/4 tsp garlic salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1tsp finely grated fresh ginger

2 bay leaves

1tsp balsamic viniger

1/4 tsp coriander powder

1/4 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp Tumeric powder

1/4 tsp dry mint

1 tbs brown sugar

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp pumpkin oil or any other oil

1/4 cup of bulgar

*lime to garnish if you like.

Directions

Place everything except the bulgar in one pot and cook for 35 min on medium heat.

Turn off stovetop.

Take out the bay leaves.

Blend soup until smooth.

Cook for 20 more min and turn off stovetop.

Add the 1/4 cup of bulgar, stir and cover for 5 min.

Place soup in a bowl and if you like add lime juice on top.

I hope you try this recipe out. It’s delicious and has a kick of heat that is perfect for cold weather. Let me know if you try this recipe out. I added the sugar because my carrots were a bit bitter so feel free to take out the sugar or any other spice you don’t enjoy. I personally love all the spices. Have a lovely day my friends!

Best Day To Cook: Food Everyday From the Kitchens Of Martha Stewart Living PART 3

September is going by so fast! I can’t believe how quick things are moving. I’ve been cooking a lot lately. My family is enjoying the food so much. It is great to cook from my recipe books because the recipes are easy, simple and delicious. Today’s book feature is *Food Everyday From the Kitchens of Martha Steward Living.

I love this cook book because the ingredients are simple and easy.  The recipes in this cook book include chicken, beef, pork and fish. The book also has recipes for side dishes. The cookbook separates recipes in 4 seasons. All the recipes are easy to follow with simple ingredients. Easy, fast, flavourful and delicious!

Here are the recipes that I made from this cook book:

Greek Salad with Seasoned Flatbread Pg. 28

I love salads do you? This recipe is a family favourite. A lovely refreshing salad and so easy to toss together. I can eat this everyday.

Cashew Chicken on Pg. 40

I’m a huge cashew chicken lover. I love this recipe. So easy and simple to make. Very delicious!

Creamy Broccoli Soup Pg.189

I have a hard time with a lot of cream based soups but this creamy broccoli doesn’t have cream and it was silky and delicious without the cream. So good for me and delicious!

I really love how simple the recipes are from this cook book. I also love the big photos. For me personally a cook book needs to have the photo or the finished product or else I can’t make it. Maybe that will be a later challenge in this series. lol 😂 This cook book is easy, fast and delicious! I highly recommend this cook book and give it a 5/5 stars!

Best Day To Cook: Easy Delicious Food At Home Part 1

I have a lot of lovely cook books in my collection and I’ve only tried a few recipes from them. It’s so funny but I love reading and looking at the pictures but never actually make any of them. It takes time to shop the ingredients and cook food that you hope your whole family will love. But I really want to make a change and I want to introduce more flavours and ingredients to my family. I want to explore more flavours and textures. I look forward to sharing my cook book journey with you. I hope you enjoy my post and future posts and I hope to inspire you to start cooking easy, delicious recipes at home.

I will start with my newest purchase. I was watching the Netflix series “Down to Earth” and in one of the episodes a lovely chef was featured. Her name is Ella Woodward and she is the writer for * Deliciously Ella. I tried a lot of her recipes and I absolutely love this cook book. Easy to follow recipes with simple ingredients that are so good for you. I’m not a Vegan but I do love eating healthy and I’m really enjoying this book. I feel that everyone can enjoy this book and not just Vegans.

Dressing & Dip from the “Crunchy Mexican Salad” recipe on pg. 125

The famous dip that my family asks for every other day is from the “Crunchy Mexican Salad” dressing/dip on Pg. 125. My husband and children do not like cilantro and there is a handful of it in this recipe and they love it! My husband also doesn’t like creamy consistency and creamy recipes but he LOVES this dip/dressing. A favourite!

Overall I love this * cook book and I will be making all the recipes. I’ve never been this excited for a cook book. I will continue sharing more recipes and cook books from my collection with you. I am very exited! Thank you so much for reading my blog post. Have a lovely day!
