Pumpkin Pie

Hey there! 

This simple delight is sure to make your night. 

Here is the method:

Crust

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup oil (minus 2 Tbsp) approx 3/4 of the measuring cup full. 

2/3 cup flour 

1/4 tsp salt

Mix together dry ingredients, pour oil and mix by hand until it is all one consistency. Press and smooth into the bottom of the pie plate.

Pie filling

1 cup pumpkin purée

1 cup milk

1 egg

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

Blend in a blender or whisk together. Pour onto the unbaked crust.

Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes until the middle is no longer super jiggly.

If it gets an ugly crater or ridge gently smooth the top of the pie with a butter knife and let it cool.:)

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 

Pea Falafel

Today's delectable recipe is adapted from the wonderful blog called NotWithoutSalt.

The taste is mild yet full of flavour.  A perfect protein punch. 

Recipe:

3 cups cooked chickpea (1 cup dry -pressure cooked) 

2 cups thawed green peas

1 small onion chopped coarsely

3 garlic cloves chopped coarsely

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp of baking powder

7 tablespoons of flour

Method:

Place chickpeas, onion, garlic, salt, cumin, and peas into a high powered blender or food processor. Mix until it makes a product that has bits and chunks of pea and chickpea that is also slightly like a paste. 

Stir in the baking powder and flour. 

Scoop with a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop onto parchment paper. Makes about 29.

Leave as is or flatten slightly with a spatula.

Take a pastry brush and about 4 tablespoons of oil. Brush the tops of the Pea Falafel.

Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes. Flip over the Falafel after 15 minutes and bake so both sides get golden and crisp. 

Enjoy with flatbread and any topping you would like. The following list is some of my favourite toppings:

Pickles

Cheese

Onion

Tomato

Bell pepper

Salad dressing

Hummus

Avocado

Leafy greens

Enjoy!! :)
