Tempeh “Ribs” With Korean BBQ Sauce

Posted on:

Marinated tempeh dredged in arrowroot powder bakes to a chewy, meat-like consistency! Bathed in a home made Korean BBQ sauce, this dish goes well with smashed potatoes and fresh corn on the cob! Arrowroot is a thickener much like cornstarch but is much easier on the digestive system and is not genetically modified. Gochujang is fermented Korean Red Chili paste and is available at most Asian markets. Your favourite hot sauce an be substituted in a pinch!

Beverages

Berry Basil Shrub

Posted on:

A “shrub” is a non-alcholic syrup made from fruit, berries, aromatics, raw apple cider vinegar and most often sugar. I paid a pretty price for a big bucket of Raw Rocky Mountain Alpine Flower Honey at a local farmers market last week and thought I would make a special shrub sweetened with honey rather than sugar! Adding two tbsp. to a big cup of cold bubbly water is refreshing and great for your digestive health!

Mint Chip Smoothie

Posted on:

Does anyone else feel like they are thriving on smoothies in this summer heat? If you like Chocolate Mint Ice Cream, you will love this one! I love to add Sun Warrior Collagen Building Protein to my smoothies. It is sweetened with stevia and adds great flavour without sugar laden calories. Protein powder can be replaced with two pitted medjool dates and a tbsp. of hemp seeds if desired.

Overnight Oats with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

Posted on:

Flavour combinations are limitless with this simple breakfast recipe however, I can’t get enough of strawberries and rhubarb this time of year! I mix up individual servings in one cup mason jars before bed and then top with compote in the morning to serve. This is a great breakfast on the go as it travels well in a mason jar. Chia seeds are a great source of fibre, protein, minerals and omega 3 fatty acids and keep your appetite satiated for a long period of time!

Tofu Sesame Sate with Peanut Sauce

Posted on:

So my husband says these skewers taste exactly like chicken! I guess that’s a good thing! Rectangles of tofu are loved up by a savoury marinade before being dredged in arrowroot flour and black sesame seeds. Tofu strips are then baked and threaded on skewers before serving. Dunked in peanut sauce, they are equally delicious served cold which makes them the perfect addition to any backyard BBQ!
