Morir Soñando is a tropical drink I got to know from Dominican Republic cuisine. In my attempts to make a simple Pina Colada drink, I made a simple dairy free Morir Soñando.  One of the points in this recipe is to make it dairy free and also free of cane sugar. Morir Soñando is traditionally made with milk, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. We are here to make it a bit healthier and

       Looking back, it was affordable and easy to find an authentic fine mesh sea moss powder. During the Covid-19 pandemic a lot of businesses slowed down or even shut down all together. There was a sea moss drought but here's what people may not of noticed. After the sea moss drought during the pandemic, many sources were unable to harvest and/or sell to

Found at my local Trader Joe's, Frooze Balls have a variety of flavors from New Zealand. It's always nice to find a plant-based snack that has no added sugar. Frooze Balls are now available at Trader Joe's nation wide and are one of the few if not only bars that do not have added sugar. Frooze Balls are sweetened with dates. Although covered in coconut flakes, it's barely noticeable in

It's better to eat fruits than processed sugars so I'm always looking for a plant-based snacks that have no added sugar.

I was interested in something to help me sleep better and valerian root by Herbal Roots definitely helped. In contrast to the melatonin products I've taken in the past by other brands, valerian root did not give me odd dreams or any side effects. I'm known to be a light sleeper and it helped me stay asleep. I highly recommend Herbal Roots, the valerian root is known to have a strong scent

There's a lot of coconut waters in the market these days as well as actual coconuts. Coconut water comes from the young green coconuts and this of course is the purest and best way to consume coconut water. However, we don't always have to time chop a young coconut in todays modern age. Not all of us are at the beach on the islands. UPDATE: February 2024CoCo Joy Coconut Water has changed

Coffee cake or crumb cake as some call is a classic pastry and one made with just a few ingredients.  We remixed the old fashioned coffee cake recipe from 1954 by Los Angeles Unified School District Recipes. The LAUSD recipe just needed a little tweaking to make vegan. This coffee cake recipe yields 12 to 24 servings.  Ingredients: 2 1/2 cup (300g) spelt flour (or kamut flour

This is my vegan chocolate cake recipe with reduced sweetener. I mean I cut the sweetener by half and still delivered in texture and taste.  I specifically used sprouted spelt flour for the grain and agave for the sweetener. Agave is a much better choice than coconut sugar.  Highlights:  Uses agave, a much better choice than coconut sugar and far better than refined cane or

After purchasing kamut udon noodles I've been making Asian inspired dishes. One of these dishes is a soup made from a dashi broth. Kombu is a sea vegetable, it is a type of kelp and is the main ingredient in dashi broth. There are many variations of dashi broth. One of these dashi broth varieties is made with shiitake mushroom but here we're using a porcini mushroom.

Today I made some portobello mushroom patties. If I post it it's because they are delicious. A food processor is not even required, just dice up the mushrooms and bell peppers, that's what I did.

VioLife cream cheese is the best vegan cream cheese I've had. It's water and coconut oil based. When you open it it's a very clean white color.

It had been years since first making falafels. These falafels came out great and they were easy to make. You don't even have to pre-cook the chickpeas, instead they are left in water for 24 hours to soak up all the water and soften. After that, it's as simple as adding the ingredients into the food processor, chopping up and frying. A food like chickpeas, dense in protein is
