Rapini , also known as broccoli raab, is a bitter green primarily used in Italian and Portuguese cooking. Rapini is low in calorie content but rich in vitamin A, B-6, C, Calcium, Magnesium and Fibre. If bitter doesn’t appeal to you, there are many ways to prepare Rapini to cut its bitterness. Once I tired rapini that had been prepared along with other fragrant ingredients, I became hooked, and it is now one of my favourite vegetables.
Behind every great dish, is a story…
I have always felt that pizza should fall under the category of acceptable breakfast foods. Call it breakfast pizza, and little justification is required! But who made the rules surrounding what foods or culinary dishes are assigned or appropriate to specific meal times in the westernized part of the world? Furthermore, who decided when we ‘should’ eat? After doing a bit of digging, I found that these rules and eating patterns have been forever evolving as society itself changes.
If you could fill an empty swimming pool with anything edible, what would you choose to fill it with? Jell-O, chocolate pudding, champagne? Why am I asking this ridiculous question?

Fresh rolls are delicious and healthy. Did I mention they also look super impressive with minimal effort required? Bonus!
Whether you are entertaining or just need a quick meal idea, fresh rolls are a simple option that can be easily accustomed to appease any palette or that particularly picky eater! Do you have leftover veggies in the fridge? A rotisserie chicken? I like to keep a roasted chicken from the deli in the fridge for snacking on. Those pre-roasted rotisserie chickens can be awesome! Just carve it up and use it in a fresh roll to put an exciting spin on leftovers!
