Good evening blogging family,
I don’t know about you but I’ve been searching for a gluten free waffle recipe that’s plant based too. After all, berry season is coming soon. I love this easy, heart-healthy recipe. And it’s freezable too!

Moist Chocolate Chip Brownies: Gluten Free Delight
Dear blogging family,
It was raining when I took pictures of the brownies. Now, as I taste a brownie before dinner the sun is shining and I think I’ll go for a walk. Talk about perfect timing!
I hope all of you get a little break from the rain and see a glimpse of sunlight. And if it’s stormy where you are…well it can’t hurt to have a brownie or two and cozy up with a good book this evening. Continue reading “Moist Chocolate Chip Brownies: Gluten Free Delight”
Indulgent Coconut Bread Pudding with Puff Pastry
The second that I finished interviewing author Zoë Ferraris, I had to try Umm Ali. After multiple attempts to perfect the recipe, and about a million calories later, I think I have a winner. The best part is, the dessert looks deceptively fancy. By using frozen puff pastry, it cut down the prep time by half. Umm Ali would be a fun sweet to make for a Finding Nouf book club party. You can find out more about Zoë Ferraris’ page-turning mystery here. Continue reading “Indulgent Coconut Bread Pudding with Puff Pastry”
Healthy Greek Breakfast Parfait Recipe
I love parfaits in the springtime when it’s still a little too cold for smoothies. The breakfast parfaits I had in Greece were made with goat’s milk yogurt and honey. To make this parfait healthier and reduce the cholesterol, I blended plain non-dairy yogurt with a frozen banana and added a little vanilla powder to sweeten it up a bit. Top the yogurt mixture with antioxidant-rich berries, pomegranate seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, and pistachios. It’s a fun recipe to make with children and a great alternative for dessert.

Decadent Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe
The sun is out, flowers are here, and I couldn’t hope for a more beautiful start to Valentine’s Day. I’m excited to share one of my favorite cakes today. It combines my love for chocolate and strawberries in a delicious vanilla cheesecake made with cashew cream. Top it with coconut milk ganache, and you have a wonderful treat for special occasions.

Healthy Plant-Based Pink Shake for Any Time
After a busy weekend, I can’t think of a better way to kick off this Monday with my favorite power shake. It tastes like a strawberry milkshake and has around 17 grams of plant-based protein. I also used pure vanilla powder for the first time. If you haven’t tried it in your smoothies, I highly recommend it. Continue reading “Healthy Plant-Based Pink Shake for Any Time”
Aquafaba: The Secret to Eggless Royal Icing
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with royal icing made with aquafaba instead of raw eggs. So what is aquafaba? It’s the brine drained from a can of chickpeas. I know it sounds weird, but it really works. The best thing is, if you have a gingerbread house party, you’ll have chickpeas leftover to make hummus! Continue reading “Aquafaba: The Secret to Eggless Royal Icing”
Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Espresso Brownies
This dessert is not only delicious but gluten free, and dare I say, made with healthy ingredients (okay…healthier maybe). If you’ve never used gluten-free flour, now’s the time to try. I find it works best when baking chocolate goods because it adds the perfect texture. The brownies are also made with espresso powder and mini chocolate chips. Do I need to say more 🙂

For the Love of Cupcakes
Don’t forget the sprinkles!
I was on a gluten-free mission to make vanilla cupcakes that are just as moist and fluffy as my original recipe. With a little innovation and the right flour, I think I finally accomplished my goal. For all of you GF families, I hope you try them out. Now that it’s back to school we all deserve a cupcake or two! Continue reading “For the Love of Cupcakes”

It started with a single cupcake.
My first month of blogging was a blast. I love connecting with fellow foodies around the world. And a big thank you to my fellow bloggers. I assure you that I’m following your culinary journeys too.
It seems as though every birthday I’m asked to make these decadently rich chocolate cupcakes. And every time, I’m asked, “How do you make such moist vegan cupcakes?”
I guess since I’m blogging now, I have to give away my tips. The secret ingredient…
