Kumara Coconut Pie Bake

Kumara Pie Bake

Raw kumara should be the best friend of a person on a extreme fat loss diet. Not only is the raw kumara low in calories and nutritious but eating it raw causes the digestive system to burn those calories trying to digest the kumara. 

However, we usually boil the kumara and eat it with a seasoning of salt and pepper for a quick weekday breakfast. 

I had some leftover from breakfast this morning  and so I tried this kumara coconut pie bake. The result is a light, refreshing dessert.

Spiced Vegetable Somen Recipe

Spiced Vegetable Somen

My adaptation of the Japanese noodle salads. The Redergize salad from the food truck garage changed the way I saw salads. I have concluded that salads, rather than a cooked meal, can outplay the taste buds. I have, now, stocked up on quinoa and somen noodles, amongst other items, to make quick weekday lunches and dinners. This is a quick weekday lunch which can be had cold as well.
