Pumpkin pie pudding

Now, this recipe uses tofu as one of main ingredients but don't knock it till you try it! I promise with the right tweaking of pumpkin pie spice/cinnamon/sugar, this tastes exactly like pumpkin pie filling! EXACTLY! I didn't include it in the recipe, but I topped my pudding off with vanilla almond crunch granola and it was SOOO yummy!

Ingredients:
(this recipe makes 1 serving)
  • 0.5c pumpkin puree
  • 0.5c soft silken tofu
  • 0.25 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.25 tsp cinnamon
  • stevia/agave/sugar to taste
1.) Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend till smooth.


2.) Pour into your container and sprinkle a little more pumpkin spice on top and ENJOY!

This is so good... I always make it! I'm gonna add in some vanilla protein powder to boost the protein amount but this is good as is! Maybe I'll try chocolate protein too!

Homemade 'stuffed' miso soup

Please be warned that ingredients for my miso soup is eye-balled so nothing is really measured. I'll try to be as accurate as possible.

Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • half a head of Chinese cabbage, roughly chopped
  • one bunch mustard cabbage, roughly chopped
  • one bunch bok choy, roughly chopped
  • one block firm tofu, cubed
  • 16 oz block of kamaboko (fish cake)
  • one package hon-dashi soup stock
  • 0.25 cup miso paste or to taste
1.) Dilute miso paste in warm water and pour into a large pot of boiling water (about 6 cups water). Add hon-dashi and stir until dissolved.

2.) Roughly chop all leafy veggies and add to pot.


3.) Add cubed tofu to pot and bring soup back to a boil.

4.) Once soup is boiling, lower heat and slowly pour in whisked eggs while stirring the pot. This creates strands of cooked egg (think egg drop soup style).
5.) Enjoy with some rice at the bottom of the bowl.

I have grown up eating miso soup so I LOVE it! You can substitute almost any veggie that you want in this recipe, but the ones I used are 'traditional' in my family. I usually use fresh cubed daikon also but forgot about it when I was making it this time!
