My Springtime Favourites

 

There’s something truly beautiful about the spring (except for the allergies!). The days feel longer, our spirits are getting lifted from the cold, dark winter days and things feel as though they are in full bloom. Whenever days feel harder than others, it’s important to remember that there are always ways to spruce things up to fully enjoy the springtime.

  1. 5 Traditional Foods You Need To Try in MTL

  • Bò nướng lá lốt (Beef Wrapped in Betel Leaf) at Pho Binh

  • Knafeh (Middle Eastern Sweet Cheese Pastry)

  • Natto (Fermented Soy Beans) at your local Japanese grocery store

2. 5 New Ingredients To Add to Your Fridge/Pantry

  • Oat Milk

Between soy milk (7g of protein) and almond milk (1g of protein), oat milk is the perfect in between for a nutritious & delicious plant-based milk substitute. With 4g of protein per serving, oat milk is great for lattes, smoothies and overnight oats!

  • Sumac

This heavenly spice adds a Mediterranean twist to any type of dish. Egg, fish, potatoes — you name it!

  • Dijon Mustard

Whether it’s for sandwiches, salad dressing or marinades, you’d be surprised as just to how much this ingredient is and should be a staple in every household kitchen.

  • Pumpkin Seeds

Crunchy, tasty and rich in protein , I simply love topping them over salads, pasta and open-faced sandwiches.

  • Brussel Sprouts

Two words: severely underrated. Simply coat with olive oil & pop it in the air fryer or oven for a ready-to-eat leafy green veggie addition to any type of meal!
