Goat's Cheese Caprese

7/31/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Goat's cheese has to be one of the most delicious cheeses out there. It's so creamy and delectable and provides such a wonderful tangy note, it's such a delight to enjoy. 

I took inspiration from a Caprese salad with fresh basil, delicious zima tomatoes, and a simple pesto vinaigrette accompanying the goat's cheese. The resulting salad is quite wonderful. The pesto really adds a pop of flavour to the goat's cheese making it extra delicious.

I found taking a little piece of basil & a tomato and swiping it through the pesto coated goat's cheese made for a pretty amazing bite. The salad is light and delicious and ready for viewing under the RECIPES tab!

GOAT'S CHEESE CAPRESE w PESTO VINAIGRETTE

Caprese salad is truly a classic and one I enjoy eating quite regularly. The simplicity of the salad is what makes it so special and enjoyable to eat. I decided to prepare it with a little twist this time around and I think the results speak for themselves.
My Goat's Cheese Caprese is equally as simple and delicious but I've decided to feature creamy, tangy goat's cheese as the main focus of the salad. Delicious and fresh zima grape tomatoes, fresh basil, and a delectable pesto vinaigrette to bring everything together. When you take a piece of tomato and run it through the goat's cheese and pesto, it's a magical bite of food that you won't soon forget.

CHICKPEA & GREEN PEA CURRY

There's something so incredibly inviting about curry to me. The smell is so enticing and hunger inducing while the vibrancy of the dish is also quite pleasing to the eyes. I love everything about curry and I especially love that you can pretty much add whatever you want to it and it will still be delicious.
I've got a simple curry dish to share this week that's 100% vegan and totally delicious. Creamy thanks to coconut milk and fragrant thanks to spices like coriander, curry, and turmeric, it's a winning dish that's so easy to prepare. Enjoy it on its own or over a bed of your favourite grain for a heartier meal.

If you're a pasta lover like I am, this pasta recipe is going to be right up your alley! 
Today's recipe has an abundance of fresh veggies including loads of fresh brussel sprouts and fresh peas which both pair so perfectly with a creamy sauce.


Along with the veggies, I've utilized one of my favourite kitchen ingredients again, pesto! I always have some handy especially for dishes like this that are so simple and just need a boost of flavour to tie everything together. The pesto, along with parmesan and fresh parsley, form a flavourful sauce thanks to some starchy pasta water.

Overall, this is a simple and delicious meal. Loaded with flavour, quick, and hearty, this recipe is one I'll be making again!

CREAMY ROTINI with SLICED BRUSSEL SPROUTS & FRESH PEAS

A lovely green dish full simple and delicious components. Rotini has to be one of my favourite noodles to enjoy. They're hearty enough to fill you right up, can be found in so many varieties including gluten free, and really pair well with any kind of sauce. 
Sauteed brussel sprouts, fresh green peas, and garlic, enveloped in a creamy pesto sauce and tossed with rotini pasta. Pesto really is a wonderful thing to have on hand at all times, it sure packs a flavourful punch when you consider the cost!
CAULIFLOWER & GRAPE TOMATO SALAD with PESTO LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Once again, I've whipped out the pesto. It's got so much wonderful flavour that it is the perfect base for a vinaigrette along with some EVOO and lemon. Very simple and a great way to flavour up all of these fresh and delicious vegetables. 
Cauliflower, tomatoes, pepper, onion, and bocconcini cheese come together for a hearty and fresh salad that takes little time to make and even less time to eat!

CHICKPEA & FAVA BEAN COCONUT CURRY
​**Vegan
As I've taken to going vegan 3 days a week, I've been trying to write more vegan recipes lately. With that in mind, my obsession with curry is legit so you can see the direction I'm taking here. Curry is fabulous and so easy to make vegan by using dairy substitutes like coconut oil and coconut milk. This delicious and hearty protein filled curry is abundant with fava beans, green peas, and chickpeas, and let's not forget flavour. A wonderful blend of spices that really permeates the air as the dish cooks along with rich and creamy coconut milk to balance out the entire dish. Serve over your grain of choice and enjoy!
