Chocolate Popcorn (Vegan)

O.M.G.

This is good.

It's salty, it's sweet, it’s delicious.

So there I was, craving something sweet but knowing there was nothing I could get that would satisfy this craving like chocolate. Since I don’t generally eat "convenience store" chocolate (if you can even call it chocolate) bars I was inspired to make something crazy. This recipe is a combination of pure experimentation and the recipe for this yummy cinnamon popcorn I took to a moon gathering last fall.

Seasame Tahini Bread (Vegan)



This bread is another one of my loves favourites. Who am I kidding pretty much any bread I make is a favourite of his. Except the pumpernickel bread I made last week. He wasn’t a big fan of that one. Let’s just say I’ll be working on tweaking the recipe before I post it. This bread is a nice and moist that is great on its own but it also makes a killer nut butter sandwich. I love adding nutritious ingredients to my bread and this is no exception. I replaced the oil with this super powered nut butter that is packed with B vitamins and is an easily digestible source of calcium. Good for healthy cell growth and maintaining healthy bones.

I am a breastfeeding mom and this is my manibreasto.


I come from a family of breast feeders. I was breastfed, I grew up watching my aunt breastfeed her 2 daughters, my cousin breastfed her son. I can remember being very curious when my aunt had her first baby. We were very close at the time, I was around 11 years old and the whole thing was very interesting to me. The pregnancy itself and also the changes the breast goes through, the phases of milk production, the whole thing. I was a curious child and we are a fairly open family.

Block Rockin Beet Pizza (Vegan)

Since I can’t get enough roasted beet humus my love and I found another vehicle for it in this awesome pizza. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out but I was pleasantly surprised. It was extremely tasty with a nice texture and deep flavour. Another win for fake cheese less vegan pizza!

 



Mango Sauce (Vegan)

This one is pretty self explanatory.

Ingredients
1 mango skinned and cubed
1tbsp lemon or lime juice
1tbsp agave or maple syrup

Throw all your ingredients in your food processor and blend until the mango is blended into a thick sauce.

Caesar Dressing (Vegan)

I love caesar salad. You what I love even more than caesar salad? Vegan caesar salad made with kale. It’s seriously so much better! If you’ve never had vegan caesar dressing then you may be wondering how is this possible? Let me tell you on behalf of those in the know that you're missing out. You can’t judge it until you try it. So try it!
 

Roasted Beet Hummus (Vegan)

I am positively obsessed with this humus right now! I have consistently had it in my fridge since the first day I tried it (about a month ago). I eat it multiple times a week on my homemade bread toasted topped with arugula and mango. It had me at the hot pink colour and kept me with the delicious roasted beet, garlicky, lemony taste. Seriously. I’m a big fan.
