Peaches & Cream Quick Bread (Vegan)

This recipe turned out great, only the batter made a bit too much for a standard loaf pan (the consequences of inventing my own recipes!).  I poured the remainder into 2 mini loaf pans.  Alternatively, you could pour all of it into a bundt pan or make muffins.  There is so much sweetness from the peaches, that even if you opt to use sugar, you don't need much, meaning this is as healthy as it is delicious.  As with all vegan baking, I find it is important to let everything cool completely before removing it from the pan. 

1-28oz can peaches (preferably packed in water), drained
2 flax eggs (2 tbls ground flax whisked with 6 tbls hot water)
2 cups Mimicreme vegan cream substitute (made from cashews and almonds)
2 tbls powdered stevia (or sugar or other sugar substitute)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt

Puree peaches in a food processor and then transfer into a large bowl.  Whisk in flax eggs, cream, sweetener and vanilla extract.  In a smaller bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and then add to wet ingredients.  Stir just until combined.  Pour batter into greased loaf pan until 3/4 full.  Pour any remaining batter into greased muffin cups or mini loaf tins.  Bake at 350F until toothpick comes out clean (this was 55 minutes for my big loaf and 25 minutes for the mini loaves).

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
