Sun Warrier Noodle Bowl



I can't say I love sunflower seeds...I don't mind them at all, but I don't feel they have a whole lot of flavour. Sunflower seed butter, on the other hand, is awesome!  This is such an amazingly yummy and flavourful dish.  I also make it with brown rice instead of noodles.  I usually use ground chicken but you can keep it vegan by substituting crumbled tempeh or tofu, if you like.

Sun Warrier Noodle Bowl

Sauce

1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce/tamari/coconut aminos
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder
1/2 tsp salt
Crushed red chili flakes, to taste

Stir Fry

1 lb lean ground chicken (or tofu or crumbled tempeh)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh ginger
1 broccoli, cut into florets
2 red or yellow bell peppers, cut into strips
6 cups mushrooms, cleaned and halved
1 bunch green onions, sliced

1 lb brown rice fettuccini, broken in half, cooked al dente

Whisk together ingredients for sauce in a large bowl and set aside.  Brown chicken in large skillet, wok or pan with garlic and ginger.  Add broccoli and cook until tender crisp.  Add peppers and mushrooms and stir fry until desired doneness.  Pour in sauce and toss well.  Use additional water if sauce is too thick.  Add cooked noodles and onions and toss again.  Turn heat down to low and cook a few more minutes.  Serves 4-6.

I have shared this recipe with Vegetarian Mamma's Gluten-Free Friday Link-Up for this week.

Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles

I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend. It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes. I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit. This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat. I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
