Pumpkin Custard

I LOVE pumpkin pie, but usually only eat it at Thanksgiving. What a shame! After making pies this year I thought, why not make a crustless custard and enjoy it any time as a side dish or dessert! Winning idea! It is a great way to get a little more squash in to your diet, with all of its healthy goodness.

A veggie side that tastes like dessert. Yes please!

Here is what I do:

1 15 oz can of pumpkin, I like Whole Foods 365 brand which is organic
8 oz of almond milk, I use Califia 3 ingredient unsweetened
3 T of arrowroot flour
1/4 cup monkfruit golden sweetener
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all of the ingredients well.
Spray 4 ramekins* with oil spray, I use avocado.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Let cool before refrigerating.
Must chill in refrigerator after baking to allow the custard to firm up.
I eat mine cold. Delish.

* My ramekins are about 4 inches in diameter and hold a little over 8 oz. I have also used glass weck tulip jars for baking these when my ramekins were in use.

Easiest Ever Microgreens

Recently I have been trying to perfect growing microgreens ahead of our summer fallow season in Miami….too hot to grow much outside, but I still want something fresh and homegrown! I tried growing micros in soil…and it was, well, messy. I tried growing them on hemp mats and got all sorts of mold overgrowth…couldn’t get the amount of watering just right…overwatered some batches and some dried up. And THEN….I discovered Hamama micros on Instagram. This is an INGENIOUS and crazy simple system. It comes with Continue reading

Raised Bed Garden

I had a request for a post about my raised bed garden so here goes!

I am pretty much a novice gardener, but I am having a great time learning by trial and error.  My husband built me this 8 x 4 foot raised bed in the fall which made it all possible, as our native soil is not really suitable for growing.  He bought Continue reading
