Avocado and pumpkin seeds fill the tangle out. There’s barely a slick of oil and heaps of arugula, mint and basil. A little sweetness, chipotle powder for heat, plenty of salt, pepper and lime juice. In the magazine there’s a beautiful zucchini noodle and pesto dish, but I’ve been feeling these cucumber ones the most. The flavour building potential is kind of neat too.
Cucumber peeler full#
A couple seconds of peeling and you have a bowl full of noodles that won’t make your stomach feel grossly full. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’m all about #fancyladylunch with noodle-y vegetables lately. I scanned over the description and saw “life changing,” sort of half believing it… But seriously? If you spend a five’r on anything this summer, maybe you should make it a julienne peeler. There was a charming drawing of this little notched peeler. I’ve been sinking into a lovely new magazine called Good Company in the mornings (when it’s still cool + lovely) with coffee or an earl grey, and I happened to stumble onto a little piece on the Green Kitchen Stories crew and some of their favourite kitchen items.
This week’s been a little more quiet and calm with plenty of fresh food. So that we can go about the day a little lighter, a little more energetic, and a little more hydrated. We celebrated the first weekend of summer pretty hard, so some fresh fare is much needed this week.
