Purple Yam Love

 
Lately I have become quite fond of purple yam as an ingredient for side dishes, served with yuzukoshō (a Japanese paste made from chili peppers, citrus fruit and salt) and black pepper. It is also a great substitute for rice and noodles as part of your daily carbohydrate intake. Give it a shot if you find it at a supermarket near you!

Veggie Red Bean Bread

I have recently come across an interesting type of bread (see photo), where vegetables and red beans are mixed into its base flour, thus the green and brown-red look. Give it a shot if you find it near you! (Bought at T&T: Coquitlam Centre)
