SOBA & CARROT NOODLES WITH WATERMELON RADISH

One of my tips for cooking- choose ingredients you think are beautiful and design your dishes around color! In this instance, watermelon radish.  Aren’t they amazing?  I don’t even really care that much for radish, but how could I not use these beauties in a dish!  And I’m so happy they did.  The meal was Lou approved (the true measure of tastiness in this house) and the only regret I have about it is that I didn’t make twice as much.  Did you read that?  DOUBLE THE RECIPE IF YOU’RE SERVING A HUNGRY HUSBAND!  xx- Sarah  {More after the jump!}

PRESSED JUICERY, A GIVEAWAY!

My friends, I’m soooo excited to announce that today I’ll be giving away two cleanses from the amazing Pressed Juicery!  Lou and I recently completed a 4 day and 6 day cleanse, respectively.  I’d planned on doing 7 days and Lou had planned on doing 3, but he didn’t want it to end (!!!!) so I gave him one of my days.  I’ve done quite a few juice cleanses but it was brand new to Lou, and it was so fun to do it together!

CELERY ROOT PUREE WITH HERBED BEETS

I shared this recipe on Camille Styles yesterday, but it’s such an extra-delicious one that I want to make sure it gets into the archives over here too.  Let me tell you, celery root puree may just be my new favorite thing.  Just typing the words makes me salivate a little.  That’s totally normal.  Try it, you’ll see!  Paired with these earthy roasted beets, tons of fresh herbs, a rich and delicious olive oil- it’s downright decadent.  Happy weekend friends, hope yours is a tasty one!  xx- Sarah  {more after the jump!

A BURRITO BOWL, NATURALLY

I love burritos.  I love burritos so much that if you and I were on a first date and the conversation turned to Mexican food, which it would, obviously, and you said something crazy like “I don’t really like burritos” then I’d be all “OMG this date is over right now” really dramatically like, in my head.  I’d scramble to make up an excuse about a family emergency, or a dramatic onset of the influenza happening RIGHT NOW.  And then I’d leave, even if I thought you were dead sexy, and I’d know in my heart I’d done the right thing.  I could never share my life with someone that doesn’t love burritos, its an ABSOLUTE DEAL BREAKER.  {more after the jump}

THAI GREEN CURRY & SWEET POTATO NOODLE BOWL

Just when I thought I’d noodle-ized everything in my house, I realize that one of my favorites, the sweet potato, had escaped my julienne peeler.  Sneaky little sweet potatoes!  They make the most delicious noodles, I can’t believe I’ve been missing out.  I paired them with an easy throw-together green curry with cashews, peas and lotsa spice and flavor.  #omgYUM  {more after the jump}
