Sharing yummy Vegan Corn Soup with Toasted Spicy Chickpeas!

Vegan Corn Soup with Toasted Spicy Chickpeas

This recipe originally called for coconut milk but I didn't get a thumbs up from the family. So we retested it and the new recipe was a hit! Don't want to make the soup? Then we can highly recommend just making the toasted chickpeas. Simply delicious as a healthy snack on its own!

Makes 4 smaller portions
(we doubled the recipe and froze the leftovers)

Ingredients
1 yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
1 red chili (or use chili flakes)
2 tsp cumin
1 lb (about 450 grams) frozen organic corn
1-2 Tbs nutritional yeast
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup oat milk (or other milk/cream of your choice)
2 cans chickpeas (or 1 cup dried chickpeas that you soak and cook in advance)
1 tsp paprika powder
Pinch of red chili flakes or cayenne pepper
Oil for frying

Instructions for soup
1. Coarsely chop onion and garlic.
2. Cut open the red chili, scrape out the seeds. Discard the seeds and chop the chili.
3. Heat up the oil in a pot and quickly saute the cumin. Add onion, garlic, chili, and corn (but set aside 0.5 cups corn) and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and let simmer for about 15 minutes. 
4. Add the nutritional yeast and mix in a blender or with a hand mixer. 
5. Add the oat milk. 

Instructions for Toasted Chickpeas
Heat up a frying pan and toast the chickpeas, remaining corn, and paprika powder chickpeas. Once chickpeas are crispy add some oil, red chili flakes, and salt. Saute for a few minutes until crispy.  
 

Serve the Toasted Chickpeas with the soup. Enjoy!

Proud to announce that we’re partnering with DeliverZero to offer the most climate-friendly packaging: returnable reusable containers! Let's fight climate change together!

Single-use packaging litters our streets, pollutes our waterways, piles up in landfills, contributes to air pollution, and adds to greenhouse gas emissions. Ordering in reusable containers helps cut down on the emissions and waste that come with single-use packaging, and it’s as easy as adding the DeliverZero menu item once to your entire order with us!

Fresh Thymes famous grain-free, nut-free Tahini Ginger Cookie Recipe

Using fresh ginger elevates the feel of these chewy cookies. The fresh ginger stimulates your digestive system and reduces inflammation which is soothing to your gut.  Coconut sugar is considered a whole food as it has not been refined and contains inulin, an important pre-biotic fiber, as well as a host of vital minerals. Additionally, tahini is extremely high in calcium, making these cookies indulgent, but also a guilt-free bio-available mineral treat.
 

Ingredients

1 cup fresh ginger, skin removed and sliced into coins
¾  cup warm water
3 tbsp flax meal
4 cups “hard or dry tahini” (oil drained off)** see note
2 ½ cups coconut sugar
1 oz baking soda
1 tbsp + 1tsp high mineral sea salt 
3 tbsp cinnamon 
¼ tsp cardamom
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Instructions

1. Peel ginger using a spoon and slice into coins

2. Add ginger and water to a high speed blender and blend well on high

3. Pour ginger mix into flax meal and mix well

4. Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix well

5. Add tahini and ginger mixture to dry ingredients and mix well using gloved or lightly oiled hands

The dough will be very moist, almost like wet sand, with an inviting oily sheen.  
Scoop ¼ cup spoonfuls of dough onto a sheet pan lined with parchment, or a silicone baking mat. Arrange 6 cookies per sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes, rotating pan halfway through cooking.  Remove from oven and while hot, use a fork if desired to create a cross-hatch and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.  

NOTE: 

• When you purchase the tahini, remove the lid, then pour off the oil at the top.  These cookies will bake differently based on this alone.  This is why Fresh Thymes ginger cookies could be temperamental. The drier the tahini, the more firm the cookie.

• This will make more dough than one batch. You can form the dough into logs, wrap in parchment, and freeze until ready to bake. Just like grade school - slice them into rounds while frozen and put them in the warmed oven.

Raisin Love Boule Challah Style +  Amazing Honey Cake Recipe! 
If you haven't yet done so, please order your Raisin Love Boule for pick-up this week. If you want it to break the fast, just put it in the freezer, and take it out the morning of September 25. Preheat the oven to 400F and bake for 3-5 minutes right before serving. 

Some of you might remember the below Honey Cake recipe that I posted last year after my dear friend shared it with me right before Yom Kippur. This year I was first going to try a new apple cake recipe, but it got late at the bakery and I had to take care of groceries and kids. As you can imagine, when time was short, I fell back on this favorite recipe of mine. It's easy to bake and delicious. As I'm writing this, the cake is cooling and I will have to complete the yummy icing tomorrow! 

This past week, I was reminded to look at the small things in life and be grateful for them. This will make it easier to navigate a troubled world and will lift our spirits in order to tackle small and large obstacles. Baking this delicious and healthy cake with my daughter - and knowing I will get to share it with friends this weekend - made me feel very fortunate.  I wish you many small and big moments of appreciation in your daily life, and am grateful to share wonderful healthy baked goods with you!  

Honey Cake Recipe
- Originally from the The New Yiddish Kitchen - 

Ingredients for the Cake
Oil for greasing the pan
4 eggs
1 cup coconut sugar
1 cup honey
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup strong black tea, cooled (my friend used decaf tea)
3 tbs bourbon or whiskey (my friend replaced it with more decaf tea)
3 cups almond flour
1 1/2 cup arrowroot powder (plus more for flouring the pan)
3/4 cup coconut flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp allspice
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 1/2 tsp salt

Ingredients for the Icing
1/4 cup coconut butter
2 tbs honey
1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp vanilla

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F (177C).

2. Grease and flour a 12 cup (2.8 liter) bunt pan (I used coconut oil and arrowroot powder). 

3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, coconut sugar, honey, vanilla, tea (and bourbon/whiskey) until well incorporated.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice. cardamom and salt. Add to the liquid mixture and beat for another minute. 

5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top bounces back when you gently push it and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Allow to cool on a wire rack before inverting onto a plate. 

To make the icing, melt the coconut butter in a small saucepan and then add the remaining ingredients. Remove from heat and whisk to combine.  Transfer to a sealable plastic bag, trying to get it into one corner as much as possible. Cut just the tip of the corner and drizzle the icing over the cake.

Raisin Love Boule Challah + Apples and Honey 

The Jewish holidays are deeply connected with food. For Rosh Hashanah - The Jewish New Year - we bake sweet round Challah. This Friday we will bake our regular Love Boules and also Love Raisin Love Boule Challah featuring shredded organic raisins to add a little extra sweetness. Please place your order for your Love Boule or Raisin Love Boule Challah and we'll have it ready this Friday.

During this time of year, we dip our round sweet challah in honey. Another wonderful tradition - and a fabulously healthy snack - is to dip apples in honey. The apple represents both the earth and the year, and we hope that it will be sweet for all of us! 

For us, this is also a time to take a deep breath, make amends, and see what we would like to bring into the new year, and what we would like to leave behind. It's also a time when we look at what we would like to change to make us a better person towards ourselves and others. Personally, these past few days have been hard with friends passing away of cancer at a way too young age. It shows how uncertain and precious life is, and the importance of trying to live each day as a kinder and better person. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones, and maybe show a stranger some extra compassion. 

Train Cars Coffee & Kava Celebrates One Year 

When you travel the Peak to Peak Highway, it’s hard to miss the iconic set of three train cars sitting in the middle of Nederland. Converted into a cafe, this landmark has been a local fixture since the early 1980s. In 2022 Train Cars was purchased by longtime employee Jesse Fox and underwent its next stage in transformation. Keeping to the tradition of offering locally roasted coffee and a variety of delectable menu items, Fox also added a full kava menu and a stacked roster of music events.

Whether you are there for the building itself, the refreshing beverages, the hefty sandwiches, or the different musical events, there’s something for everyone! Working with local businesses to provide top-quality products has been a longtime tradition at the Train Cars. In its current iteration Train Cars
Coffee & Kava is delighted to add Hävenly Baked Goods to its growing list of suppliers, alongside great providers such as Creekside Coffee Roasters, Root Kava Co, Wondervu Cafe, and Jen’s Cafe Bars. You can now enjoy your sandwich on a Hävenly Morning Oat Bun! 

Be sure to join Train Cars Coffee & Kava on September 9th, 2023 as they celebrate their first year as Train Cars Coffee & Kava! The Peak Vibes Music Festival will take place in Nederland from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. Eleven musical acts will grace the Trains in this free event that will donate 25% of its donations to the Nederland Food Pantry! 

Welcome!
