Happy New Year!!! Hope you’ve had an amazing end to the year. I’m feeling fresh, renewed and quite eager what this new year will bring. I’ve decided to leave everything that no longer serves me in the last year and I have to say I’m feeling a nice little lift in my energy already. After all the Christmas indulgence I’m quite sure you’ll be looking for some healthy recipes and I have a perfect recipe for you today. This Turmeric Millet with Courgetti is a healthy, wholesome and simple dish, a perfect recipe to kick off the New Year.
I’m a newbie to spiralizing vegetables, my husband got me a Spiralizer for my Birthday and this is the first time I’m using it. I have to say I’m quite impressed and pretty much in love with it already. It’s a perfect little addition to my kitchen and you can expect few more recipes coming up:) Today’s recipe is a simple dish that is perfect for a quick lunch with friends. Takes less than half an hour to put together, tastes and looks amazing. I think it makes a perfect girly lunch:)
