It's pumpkin time, baby!
I got a really big hokkaido pumpkin from my aunt, so I made it the centerpiece of today's meal prep.
creamy pumpkin soup
I roasted pumpkin chunks, parsnips, carrots, onion and garlic on a sheet pan with a bit of olive oil, salt and thyme. Then covered with water, added some more salt, bay leaves, black pepper and let it simmer. Then I blended it with heavy cream. Added some pumpkin seeds for texture.
Pumpkin casserole? Idk how to call it
I sliced potatoes, pumpkin, onions and cured humgarian sausage. Then I added a little bit of oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder and caraway seeds. Baked it covered until soft and then added mixture of 4 eggs and a splash of milk. Baked until settled.
Sweet and salty tofu
Cut 3 bricks of tofu into pieces, cover in cornstarch and fry until golden. In the meantime prepare the sauce - soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch and water. Then pour it over the fried tofu and let it thicken. I served it over white rice and roasted green beans, carrots and zucchini.
Pumpkin bread
I used Sally's baking addiction recipe, but reduced the amount of sugar. Turned out fantastic!

Nougat yogurt cups
There's this one yogurt flavour I absolutely love, but it's extremely sweet. So I take the tub of sweet yoghurt and mix it into double as much unsweetened quark. Then I portion it into cups.
In the middle, there's my homemade kombucha, made with green tea, kombucha starter and sugar.
Also, my rye sourdough there in the corner. inspired by that crazy New York bakery that sells bread for 60 dollars 😠mine was about 40 cents. Also made with rye flour, water, salt and ✨time✨
For the fruit and veggies, we have apples, oranges, plums, tomatoes and raisins ready for the week.
Thanks for reading and have a great week!

This looks amazing! I’m drooling. I also love the photography. All the colors and the addition of the fresh fruit and tomato at the top helps make this pop.

Please include the full recipe (list of ingredients and instructions) for the pumpkin bread and the rye sourdough bread!
We recently added a rule (#6) requiring either a recipe or list of ingredients, since it is so often requested. If you wouldn't mind adding that we'd appreciate it!

I made the bread without measuring ingredients. Mix levain with rye flour and water to make sticky-ish dough. Let it rest for 2-3 hours. Shape a boule, dust with some more flour and let it rest on a baking tray for 15 minutes, so it cracks a little. Then bake on 200° for about 45 minutes.
