Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

1-15oz can pumpkin

120 ml (or 1/2 cup) olive oil

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

dash of salt

2 Tbsp. flaxseeds, ground

Preheat oven to 365 degrees (180C). Stir together flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and flaxseeds. Mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, and spices together in another bowl. Then combine the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Don't mix it too much. Bake for 50 minutes or until done.

I didn't have any whole wheat flour but if I did I would definitely use it! I recommend it for this recipe. Just use half whole wheat flour and half regular flour so your bread is not too dense. Delicious!

Weekly Recipe: Asian Style Brown Rice

Asian Style Brown Rice

1 cup brown rice

2 cloves garlic minced

Frozen veggies (I used spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots for this recipe)
1 can mushrooms

1 Tbsp. sesame oil

Red pepper flakes

Pepper

Ginger

Soy sauce 

Sesame seeds

Flaxseeds ground

Cook the brown rice according to package directions. Meanwhile stir fry the frozen veggies with the sesame oil until cooked through. Then add the onion, red pepper, garlic and spices. When they are done cooking add the seasame seeds and ground flaxseeds and soy sauce (all to taste). Stir in the brown rice and adjust seasonings to taste.

I've also added bean sprouts and baby corn before to give it more of an asian feel. Add any veggies you like and enjoy!
