Pink Pudding

This is what my daughter calls "dessert". Traditional Polish milk pudding. This is our dairy-free version.

2 cups of milk (we use almond but any dairy or non-dairy will do)
4 tbsp of potato starch (proportions may vary depending on the desired consistency, these are ours)
3-4 tsp beet water (left over from the beets boiled for the Chocolate Beet cake)
sugar/palm sugar to taste (if using liquid sweetener like maple syrup you may need to up the amount of starch a little)
rose water

In a small saucepan bring 1 1/2 cups of milk to boil. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a cup. When the milk starts to boil, reduce the heat, add the starch mixture to it and mix continuously until the liquid thickens. Pour into a bowl or a cup and cool. It will thicken more when cool. Serve on its own or with a drizzle of raspberry syrup.

Green Cream Soup

It's my daughter's favourite soup. She won't eat broccoli in any other form. I use potatoes (or left-over whole grain pasta) for creaminess instead of cream. To keep the colour green, do not add any red/orange/brown coloured spices and veggies. 

Ingredients:

homemade broth
broccoli (peel the branches to get rid of the fibrous outer layer)
1 potato
1 zucchini 
turmeric (optional)
herbs 

Simmer until tender, blend, serve. Don't use too much liquid, it should cover about half of the veggies - the broccoli heads and zucchini get tender enough with just the steam.
