Pumpkin Miso Broth with Soba
After a long vacation I am always excited to get back in the kitchen! After so much meat and seafood I was ready for a few days of vegetarian dishes and headed to My New Roots in search of a delicious fall dish. The Pumpkin Miso Broth with Soba caught my eye and didn’t disappoint. So delicious! In her recipe she recommends dried seaweed, but in Belgium it’s so easy to find different types of fresh seaweed – including my favorite, samphire – so nice and juicy!
Lumpy Space Princess (LSP) Pumpkin!
Koen and I decided this October to carve a pumpkin – only my 2nd while living in Antwerp (my 4th Halloween). I saw everyone’s pumpkin carving parties and felt the need to have my own private party with Koen. We weren’t sure what to carve, but then Koen found a lot of stencils from Adventure Time and we decided to carve one of our favorite characters – Lumpy Space Princess! We kept the jack-o-latern for 3 days and then realized why they’re kept outside in America; they really start to decay and smell awful!
Pumpkin Soup!
Fall is here! Koen made the most delicious ginger-pumpkin soup with roasted pumpkin seeds recently. To accompany the soup, he also made grilled cheddar cheese sandwiches with granny smith apples and candied bacon – yum!
Summer is here (mid-70s) in Belgium, so now is the perfect time for salads!
