BREAKFAST
Miso Soup
A stable in many Asian households and all across the world, miso soup is both simple and delicious. Miso soup, and the use of fermented beans, dates back hundreds of years. Today one can find both traditional and more modernized versions of the soup. This recipe is one that has both nutritional value and wonderfully potent flavours. I often enjoy miso soup as a simple, light breakfast or snack. For a recipe with such few ingredients, it's surprisingly filling! This miso soup recipe can be made in under fifteen minutes, and incorporates a variety of vegetables.
Lately, I have been using mushrooms in my miso soup. The flavours in the miso paste pair wonderfully with any vegetable you may choose. The amount of vegetable broth, miso paste and vegetable content is up to personal choice. This recipe can also be easily modified to serve one person. Give miso soup a try, you won’t be disappointed!

DESSERT
Teatime, Matcha Snowball Cookies
Nothing like a cookie recipe to brighten up your day. Anytime I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I love finding a simple baking recipe to whip up. Try this recipe whether you are feeling the blues or high on life!
Matcha is a very diverse ingredient coming from Japan and works well in lattes, smoothies, and in baking. Try this recipe with your choice of matcha; a low grade or high grade one will still work well with this recipe, but may produce a duller or brighter green appearance.
If searching for a cheaper choice of matcha, look for cooking/baking matchas, which are suited for recipes in the kitchen and usually run cheaper than any ceremonial or tea matcha. When adding the dusting sugar, I used 1/4 cup instead of 1 full cup. This recipe’s ingredients are simple and can easily be found at any grocery store or online food shopping site.
Enjoy these simply delicious little tea cookies and make your day a little brighter!
