Desiree Nielsen is a nutritionist by trade and a foodie at heart. She loves to cook and has a knack for making easy-to-follow breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert recipes. First up, Desiree combines two favourites, falafel and waffles, into a dish that's as fun to say as it is to make: "fa-waffles." Next up, she shows us two under-rated soups that are beautiful to look at and filled with vitamins: acorn squash and broccoli and garlic. For dessert, Desiree shows us how to put a playful twist on the elegant French classic clafoutis, using fresh rhubarb and strawberry. Finally, she ditches the carbs for her pasta recipe, turning instead to the almost magical spaghetti squash and topping it with a healthy white bean and kale ragout.
