Adam at the Farmer’s Market

By on December 22, 2011 in Community, Taking Action

This video is actually from this past summer (you don’t say!), but it is worth posting.

This farmer’s market is from my hometown in Squamish, but farmers’ markets are becoming more and more plentiful in North America as people are demanding a closer relationship to the food we eat.  After all, it becomes a part of our being, so why not have it as close as possible to the source?

Food loses it’s nutrition over time, so if you are able to get food as fresh as possible, you are getting something that is much, much healthier than what you would buy at the grocery store.

Even large cities have farmer’s markets, so find the one closest to you and you will begin to discover a deeper relationship to food, if you have not already.

Hempkin Pie (A.K.A Pumpkin Pie)

By on November 4, 2011 in Blog, Community, Dessert, Recipes

Hempkin Pie

Yum Yum Hempkin Pie

I pride myself on sharing with you only recipes that are healthy, tasty and EASY to make. This is one of those.

Yes it is a more involved recipe of mine, but it is still easy to make.

I would love to hear from you after you have tried making my Hempkin Pie to share your experience. It is by far one of the best pies I have ever made.

Ingredients

Crust
½ cup crushed almonds
4 tablespoons honey
¼ cup Shredded Coconut
4 pitted dates
1 cup soaked Buckwheat

Filling
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups cooked pumpkin
¼ cup maple syrup
½ cashews
½ cup hemp seeds

How To Prepare the Crust

Soak your buckwheat overnight in water. Discard the water in the morning and rinse your buckwheat. Now place all your crust ingredients into a food processor and blend together. Then spread around your crust mixture into a pie dish until all edges are covered.

How To Prepare the Filling

Soak your hemp seeds and cashews in water for 1 hour. Once soaked discard the water and puree you hemp and cashews in your blender with ¼ cup of fresh water.

Cut your pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Keep the seeds to use for creating my Hemp Pumpkin Seeds. Bake your pumpkin until tender at 350. Once baked, discard the skin and place 2 cups of the pumpkin with all your other ingredients into a food processor and blend together. Once blended, spread your filling evenly over your crust. Top with my Hemp Pumpkin Seeds and refrigerator for 1 hour and then serve.

If you are wondering where to find my Hemp Pumpkin Seed recipe, it is coming in a feature recipe book I will share with you very soon. Until then, top your pie with fresh pumpkin seeds.

Oh Yeah!
