I've long relied on soups as a way to cram as many vegetables as I can into my family's diet, but the truth is, my daughter prefers to eat her leafy greens mixed into one of her two favorite foods:
I use this recipe when making my rose cake, my hydrangea cake, or any cake that I want the frosting to be able to hold its shape! This makes quite a bit, but can be refrigerated quite easily. And yes, I sometimes use half crisco/half butter. This recipe is SWEET. Super sweet.
Crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, these salsa-topped cakes make a lovely vegetarian entree. They offer a great way to use leftover basmati rice; if you're starting with cooked rice, use about 1 1/2 cups. Add mixed greens to the plate for even more color.
Bright orange sriracha sauce over shredded imitation crab "noodles" with vibrant green scallions and giant scallops seared to perfection... If I see them on the menu I almost have to order them!
