Last night, snow fell at about an inch an hour, and kept on falling into this morning. Snow accumulations anywhere close to a foot in the Portland metro area is very rare! We’ve had our fair share of ice storms this winter, but we FINALLY got the soft, fluffy, peaceful thundersnow. (Side note: I could go on and on about weather if you let me. But for now I’ll remind you that if you go to the “Clouds” section of this blog, you can see more of my weather obsession firsthand). Anyway, this is the kind that you can actually make snowmen, and snow ice cream out of. So here is a little bonus recipe for you!
Recipe
Zoodles with Parmesan
Happy New Year take two! I thought that after a month of eating so many sweets and feasts, that this fresh, yummy, and inexpensive dish is a great one to feature. This recipe is fully customizable and centers around the wonderful zoodle. In case you haven’t heard of a zoodle (also known as “zucchini noodles”), it is cooking strips of zucchini to produce a dish that resembles pasta noodles. Zoodles with parmesan is one of the easiest ways to prepare them.
Baked Spiced Sweet Potato Latkes
‘Tis the season for…latkes! Ok, so I’m not a latke expert and haven’t made them in years, but I was wanting to try something a little different with my sweet potatoes, and this is what happened. Such an enjoyable change from my go-to roasted sweet potato with salt and pepper. And best of all, these sweet potato latkes are so easy to make.
