Vegan King Cake

I’ve been dying to make a King Cake for the Mardi Gras Season because it’s literally impossible to find a Vegan King Cake in South Florida, which sucks. Since I always try to make things a little healthier, this dilemma gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. I’d seen some good recipes, like Big…

Vegan Raisin Cookies

My son was watching cartoons earlier and the characters were eating Raisin Cookies so he asks me for the cookies. Confused by this, I asked what cookies? He replies, “the raisin cookies that Crissie Carson was eating”. So, in an effort to satisfy this craving, we set out to make some. They came out fantastic….

Protein Twix

Probably one of the best things I’ve ever made. I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch! My husband’s sister came to visit us from Dubai and brought me these wonderful dates. It was a very large box so I’ve been trying to use them to make lots of different things. I got…

Single Serving Protein Cookie

So I saw on someone’s FB Story the other day ago that they had a “chocolate sesame soy sauce cookie” and said that it was delicious. Curious, I set out to give it a try. Since it sounded a little strange to me, I wanted to try to make just one. I used regular flour…

Fudgy Tahini Date Chocolate Bites

So I was on Pinterest and set out to make these Fudgy Tahini Date Chocolate Bars, but decided to kick it up with some protein and try to lower the calories. It ended up being so smooth, I just decided to roll it into balls and put it in the fridge. Perfecto. Ingredients: Directions: Literally…

West African Banana Bread

I’m so excited about how this bread turned out that I couldn’t NOT to share. I based this idea off of this Ad I saw on FB for a West African Banana Bread Mix. My husband is from Namibia so I figured I’d give it a try and give him a taste of the homeland.If…

Watermelon Rind Bread

Say what? Yea, you read that right. I’ve been on this whole ‘zero waste’ kick lately and I’ve been looking for ways to use fruit ‘scraps’ rather than just throwing them out. Not only does it save money, but it’s fun as heck. Being summer, we always have an abundance of watermelons, kind of like…

Ube Mochi Waffles

Ube is probably one of my al time favorite veggies and I’m always looking of things to do with it but I always end up eating it roasted or air fried by itself because I can’t fathom to mess up the flavor. Well I ordered this purple Ube Flavor to act as food coloring for…

Ube Protein Bites

I had this roasted Ube left over from my baby’s first birthday party and I I’m kinda on a detox after my bestfriend and her family were here visiting; I are all the foods! Well Ube is pretty high in calorie so I generally like to eat it in smaller quantities or mix it with…

Brownie Bottom Cheezecake w/ Strawberry

I set out to make a Gluten Free Angel Food Cake using Aquafaba for my mom’s birthday today and despite consulting a few Facebook groups I’m in, I had had NO luck. The box cake was a fail, I don’t even want to post a picture. Ohh yea, because I actually didn’t even take one….

Jessi’s Gingerbread Cake

My husband, son and I took a trip to visit my father’s side of the family this week and being vegan can be a challenge in Oklahoma. I’m lucky that they are more than willing to cater to me and my dietary preferences. The only trouble is that most of the sweets are all non…

Baked Black Cheezecake

With Halloween around the corner, last night I took to the kitchen to make my version of this Double Chocolate Halloween “Cheesecake “ except I wanted it to be pumpkin (because I just baked and puréed a HUGE pumpkin and now I need to use it – zero waste, remember?). I also don’t like raw…

Grilled Vegan Burger Patties

Yesterday’s grilling session was bomb! We had one of my husband’s good friends come over yesterday to meet the baby so I figured we’d do a grill out since we’ve been eating out so much lately and haven’t even touched the grill since before the baby was born. I took some boerewors out of the…

Chewy Marshmallow Brownies

These yummies aren’t really very healthy but while we’re on the quarantine train and I’m making all the treats, I can say these are at least gluten free 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t buy into that whole gluten intolerance thing, but I did have some rice flour in the pantry that I wanted to use. I’m on…

Almond Butter Popsicles

THE most simple snacks! Literally only two ingredients, depending on which Almond Butter you choose. Sprouts Farmers Market has a sale in Almond Butter and the one I used was a Caramel, which they don’t have all the time. So sad. I also got a Dark Chocolate one that I can’t wait to use. I…
