Baby Veggies Results

Sunday’s meal provided a good balance of mostly healthy dishes (mushrooms, fish, roasted vegetables) and a few things that we should all probably only eat once in awhile (burrata & doughnuts). Pairing the meal like that will ensure you won’t walk away feeling like you have a brick in your stomach, while still feeling satisfied.

I became more familiar with Burrata when restaurants like DelaRosa and Delfina started offering it on their pizzas. It is basically fresh mozzarella that is filled with additional cream, curds and more mozzarella. When you cut into a burrata ball, the cream oozes out and makes for a perfect spread on a baguette. I will feature another burrata appetizer I recently put together soon—so stay posted.

I found the baby veggies! Berkeley Bowl will be my go to one stop shopping place for my dinners – no more running around the city for this girl.  

Little known fact about those baby carrots that you can purchase in a bag: they are actually large carrots cut into little nubs by machines! Tricky, I know. So next time you would like to roast some carrots, try to find real baby carrots that are specifically bred to be miniature.

{I can’t remember the last time I had doughnuts; these were worth every fat particle, along with the dark chocolate sauce made from Scharffen Berger Extra Dark Chocolate}

The ricotta made for a less dense dough, which allowed the doughnuts to be light and fluffy.
