Easy Five Ingredient Cauliflower Miso Dip with Camelina Oil [Vegan, GF]

What is Camelina Oil you ask? Let me share with you one of our very own Canadian oils, grown from ancient Camelina Seeds, a relative of the mustard family originating from Northern Europe. It also happens to have one of the highest smoke points of available oils. That about sums it up, except I need to mention that it tastes fantastic! I decided to include it in this Easy Five Ingredient Cauliflower and Miso Dip because of just that. It has an earthy and nutty flavour which goes well with the miso in this blended vegan dip, and I love topping it with chickpeas that have been roasted in the Camelina Oil for a double dip of this healthy fat. This Five Ingredient Cauliflower and Miso Dip is just in time for the holidays because if you are like me quick and easy is a must at this time of year.

Protein Packed Vegan Pesto with Hemp

By 1 Comment

Pesto in autumn I hear you ask? Thanks to my container gardening course last spring (see Container Gardening – 8 Edible Plants To Grown Indoors) I’ve been able to grow basil indoors, and it has been thriving up until now! What else better to do with the last basil leaves of the season than to make a pesto. Pesto pasta is a great simple meal, though protein can be lacking which can lead to blood sugar spikes, followed by the corresponding drops. This Protein Packed Vegan Pesto with Hemp offers more protein than your standard pesto thanks to the hemp hearts. Another twist is the addition of miso in place of parmesan cheese. Not sure how you feel about that? Read on.

Japanese Salad Bowls with a Miso Tahini Dressing and Brown Rice

By 4 Comments

As summer comes to an end we reflect on the memories that were made and miracles that happened. It was a summer of non-stop adventures and what may have kept our stamina going was our multiple renditions of our nutrient-packed salad bowls. I’ve already shared Sami’s Summer Tofu Salad Bowl with Brown Rice and a Glory Bowl Dressing, and then followed that up with the lighter alternative Light Summer Salad with a Garlic and Tahini Dressing. Now my love of Asian flavours has inspired this Japanese Salad Bowl served with a Miso Tahini Dressing and Brown Rice, just in time to see summer to its end.

Japanese Miso Soup with Soba Noodles

By Leave a Comment

This is a regular dish in our household. It’s super easy and adaptable. You can usually find some sort of vegetable in your fridge that would work perfectly with this dish. Miso is a little bit of a ‘superfood’, I use Genmai Miso as its made of brown rice rather than white, so it still contains the bran making it even more nutritious. None-the-less, miso is a great alternative to stock as the fermentation process undergone to make miso helps to create probiotics making our guts a happy place.
