I hope you're all having a zestful day :) testing out my own homemade pizza dough today once more before making sure it's perfect to share🤗🍕😋 fingers crossed it makes it to the next video!!! Anyways - thank you so much for watching!!! Please share which recipe looks the best to you :)
I just found your channel and still bingewatching lol....... OMG you have awesome recipes Caroline.... I'm Australian born to italian parents and love Mediterranean food 😊 You explain everything in an easy to follow way!! I have subscribed and not sure why you don't have a million subscribers??? ❤from Melbourne Australia
Thank you SOOO much for your amazing support, I cannot thank you enough for not just watching but also taking the time to write such a sweet comment to give me all kinds of encouragement! You have really made my day, sending all my love all the way to beautiful Melbourne!🥹🥰🫶🏼
YES! Thank you so much for responding to that request. I love that variety about the mediterranean diet and that you can eat legumes in so many tasty ways. And again: I cannot believe that this channel isnt bigger. More people should learn about the mediterranean way of life - thanks for sharing
Awe thank you SO much for making that request 🤍🤍 I really hope this video gave you a few ideas and if not i definitely plan to make another one with this theme in the future!! I appreciate you so much ☺️your support is amazing!!
I made your zucchini tart from a video about a year ago and OMG, the yummiest thing I've had in a long time. I'm really inspired by your recipes, lifestyle, and attitude ❤️
I remember that tart and I’m SO grateful to hear it turned out good for you Karen ☺️ 👏🏼 thank you so much for coming back to share this with me!! You are so encouraging and amazing!!
Love legumes! That lasagna looks friggin amazing 🤩 I made some empanadas for Super Bowl w ground beef and such but totally could have subbed beef for lentils! 🤤 this looks delicious and I will def make this lasagna and report back.❤ Have a great day my love 😘😘
Empanadas have been on my list for SO long to make!! Wish I could try yours, I’m sure they are absolutely delicious 😋🤩so excited to watch the Super Bowl just for the halftime show 😂 I hope you have a fabulous rest of you day and can’t wait to hear back on the lasagna 🤍
@@CarolineLFranco that is the reason I’ll be watching lol. I’m sure Rihanna will put on a good show. Empanadas are so good and easy to make. A little ground beef, garlic, red bell pepper, onion, homemade Sofrito, cilantro, lil tomato paste and tomato sauce and that’s the filling. Hubby makes the dough ( he ran his dads pizzeria when he little.. so the man is picky about his dough 🤦🏻♀️) in the air fryer and that’s it! I’ll def take pic when I make the lasagna 🙌🏼
Thank you for making this video. I feel like as Americans we tend to think that we need meat in order to feel like we're eating healthy. I am trying to eat more healthy vegetarian options.
I love your food, your enthusiasm and your presentation. I get so excited every time I see you have a new video. I use your agrodolce all the time now. I have tried sunchokes because of you and love them, raw or roasted. They are amazing. I can’t wait to make the orange beet hummus. I am trying to eat more vegetables and am so happy to have such different, unique ways to make them. You said you wanted another word for delicious. I would say much of your food is scrumptious.
Scrumptious it is 😋 love that word Mimi, so fun! Thank you SO much for sharing all these sweet and encouraging things with me! I LOVE that you not only get excited to still watch my videos but you use my recipes and truly enjoy new ingredients and ways of cooking! It's such a fear of mine that recipes wont turn out the same in others kitchen so it makes my day to know this! Thank you for all your support Mimi, you're amazing! ❤️
Just made the hummus. It’s scrumptious! My husband said he likes my hamas. I said, “it’s hummus. Hamas is a militant political organization in Israel.”
I'm new to the Mediterranean diet and I'd love to see what you would consider the staples to have in your kitchen, from spices and recipe ingredients to cookware 😊
That is such a wonderful request Isirla, thank you!! It's something i've actually been working on just been a long process but a guide of some starts to the Mediterranean Diet is coming soon🎉
The lasagna looks delicious! Although, I worry about the pasta. I’m type two diabetic and my doctor put me on the Mediterranean diet. But I worry about pasta. Is it a myth that pasta is bad for u? Is it something that I should be super careful with? I love lentils so I don’t mind that. Chick peas have a lot of carbs but are low glycemic. Are lentils the same? Still learning about this.
I believe the chickpea pasta and the whole wheat pasta have the lowest glycemic index for pastas, but! If I was concerned I would use zucchini or eggplant or something like that.
Hello Jennifer! While I am NO RD or Doctor or any of that I can suggest that with type 2 diabetes it's true you don't want to spike your blood sugar with really sugary carbs. However, pasta in a small amount mixed with plenty of other ingredients is still a good option IMO but again I am NOT an RD. Pasta does have a good source of fiber and is very low in sugar mixed with fiber-filled/protein-filled lentils and hearty mushrooms are quite a well-balanced dish. A big part of type 2 is combining carbohydrates with either protein or some fat for controlling blood sugar and keeping it steady and this dish definitely does that. HOWEVER, Kirk gave GREAT ideas on looking in your pasta aisle at the grocery store for low glycemic pasta options because there always are a few nowadays as well as thin slices of steamed eggplant or zucchini are a fabulous option for more veggie ideas! Hope that helped a little!
Awe thank you so much, I appreciate your understanding on not being able to say it well but the least we can do is always try :) I feel like arabic and Italian are somewhat close with sounds!

Do you taste the orange in the beetroot thing? I’m not a fan of oranges of orange juice so can I leave it out?
Yes absolutely just leave out the orange if you don’t like orange flavor and maybe add a little bit of lemon or lime for some freshness!
What temp did you confit the hummus ingredients?
About 200/225 F, slow and low! Full details are on my website for the recipe though i you're curious!
Omg one thing you are so pretty amore bella❤
It's Okay if you can't pronounce Arabic words we have a lot of unique letters and sounds and i promise that my Italian is a No No
Awe thank you so much, I appreciate your understanding on not being able to say it well but the least we can do is always try :) I feel like arabic and Italian are somewhat close with sounds!
@@CarolineLFranco i think our pronunciation of the (R)is similar somehow
I remember when i asked for this 🥹❤️❤️ omg
Yessss 🥰💕 did it for YOU! Love your requests so much! Hopefully this gave you a few ideas but promise to make more!!
@@CarolineLFranco Adorable 😍🫶
