Burrata, a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream, adds a soft layer to beets and fresh asparagus.
Avocado Pudding
This popular recipe is inspired by Kourtney K, making it totally poosh! As a big fan of KKUWTK, I always noticed that Kourt was eating some type of ice cream-like mixture in a bowl with a spoon. After visiting her blog, Poosh, I learned it was Avocado pudding. Itβs super easy to make and it helps when I am craving something sweet.
