Owlcrate Limited Edition the World of Caraval Unboxing

Hello lovely readers! If you follow me on Bookstagram you know that my lovely friend Kristel (@kristellreads) gifted me the Limited Edition World of Caraval Owlcrate box for my upcoming graduation! It’s actually a funny story, because she first asked if I wanted to share the box, since she is coming to visit me next week anyway. So she ordered it and had it shipped to my house. When it was time for me to open the box, she asked me which items I liked best. That’s when she surprised me and said that the entire thing would be mine!…

My current favorite recipe: riced cauliflower with spinach and mushrooms

So I’m pretty sure you have all heard of the various ways you can use a cauliflower. Pinterest is chock-full of ideas on how to creatively prepare cauliflower while still keeping it healthy. The cauliflower pizza bottom for example is very popular. I have yet to try that out, but what I have been eating a lot lately is riced cauliflower. This started a few months back when I suddenly decided I wanted to eat more healthily. Cauliflower is my all time favorite food EVER and I knew I wanted to try out riced cauliflower, so I can have it…
