Have you tried this Easy, Healthy Pumpkin Blossom Stir Fry?
Hope all moms had a wonderful Mother’s day! I had a fantastic one…My cuties pampered me with breakfast in bed and gave me best surprise gifts, even though my hubby was out of town. I really appreciate my kids efforts. I think the biggest reward I receive as a mother is when my kids make correct choices or do something above and beyond.
There is a surprising number of blooms that are a true delight to eat and they offers several nutritional benefits. Frying pumpkin flowers-blossoms and chopping them in salad is a popular way, but here I am sharing easy, healthy stir fry with pumpkin blossom straight from my garden. Don’t worry! If you didn’t grow your own pumpkin plant, pay a visit to your local farmer’s market and pick up some fresh blossoms, and cook up this easy stir fry for a truly healthy and delicious treat! Enjoy!
