After some experimentation, the result was an incredibly rich, decadent, creamy chocolate frosting that’s secretly made with wholesome ingredients. Just 1 blender, 6 ingredients, and 25 minutes required. Let us show you how it’s done! The base for this frosting is dates + cashew butter. Dates add sweetness and a thick, pillowy texture, while cashew butter adds creaminess and subtle nutty flavor. You’ll want to use a quality cashew butter to avoid ending up with lumpy frosting....

My first peppermint-chocolate creation was inspired by our time in Zurich, Switzerland last fall, where chocolate is one of their prized specialties. People form lines around chocolate shops there and it’s all because it’s made fresh daily by artisans who have made chocolate their life and craft. It’s no joking around. Besides eating truffles and bars, another very Swiss way to consume chocolate is by drinking it. I can totally get on board with this concept....

Though I haven’t run a race since then, I still crave cheesecake immensely. So rich, sweet, and like custard and cake in one. What’s not to love? But my dairy days are long behind me so I set out to vegan-ize this bad boy. Mission seriously accomplished. This recipe starts with a 2-ingredient graham cracker crust (my personal favorite crust). But to keep it gluten free, try my Vegan Gluten-Free Gingerbread Men for a slightly spicier deep, amber flavor....

If so, welcome to the club. If not, I’m sorry, you poor neglected soul. (Just kidding, but also kind of not kidding). Sloppy joes are so delicious! And I haven’t had them since my mom made them for me back in high school. My sister and I would return home from sports practice absolutely famished and we’d eat two open-faced sloppy joes with a side of mac ‘n’ cheese. Oh, how my diet has changed since then!...

Chipotle aioli with 5 ingredients? This calls for a french fry and veggie burger party. Origins of Aioli Aioli is a popular condiment in many regions of the Mediterranean including France, Italy, and Spain. But the origins of a sauce resembling aioli date as far back as the Roman Empire (source)! It’s traditionally made with a combination of garlic, egg yolk, oil, and lemon juice. Our plant-based version is not traditional but resembles the flavor and rich, thick texture of aioli with the addition of heat from chipotle peppers....

Apart from this, I also make dal with beetroot leaves. Step By Step Photo Instructions: Chop the beetroot leaves, also chop the stems. My beetroot stems are pretty thin and tender, so I chopped it without peeling it. But if yours are thick then you might need to peel it or remove those strings. You will feel and see those strings as you chop whether it needs to be peeled or not....

If there’s one thing you should know about my husband and me, it’s that we have different tastes. I, for instance, can pick up a handful of basil and eat it raw – joyfully. My husband, on the other hand, gets skeptical if there’s any more than 2 sprigs in one dish. Men and women, so different sometimes. And so, while eating his spring rolls stuffed plentifully with fresh basil, he began to pick all of the leaves out and set them on his plate....

I pretty much grew up on carbs. Does a body good, right? The waffle obsession continued into college. Saturdays were reserved for banana pancakes after a long distance run. Sundays – a day of utter relaxation – was inaugurated with two whole grain Eggo waffles topped with copious amounts of crunchy salted peanut butter, sliced bananas, and honey. It was sheer breakfast heaven. Not much has changed these days, other than the fact that I don’t buy store bought waffles anymore....

For starters, this dish is served over cauliflower “rice” instead of regular rice because 1) Cruciferous veg for the win, and 2) You can eat an ENTIRE head of cauliflower instead of 1/2 cup of rice and STILL only consume a fraction of the calories and carbohydrates, so why not?! Cauliflower rice is SO simple and you absolutely must try it! It doesn’t pass completely as rice since the textures and flavors are slightly different....

We get Thai or Indian takeout once a week (at least). And when I can’t decide what to make for dinner, it’s usually a vegetable curry (my favorite is in the cookbook). Because I love a good snack, I thought I’d combine the flavors of curry with my favorite nut these days: cashews. This recipe is simple, requiring just 10 ingredients and 30 minutes to prepare. And if you’ve been making my curry recipes recently, you already have all the ingredients on hand (ftw)!...

I must admit, I always liked the idea of baked pears more than I imagined enjoying them, especially when compared to an apple crisp (my all-time favorite fall dessert). But I must say, this dish stole my heart. We shared it with neighbors and they said it was “perfection,” and I have to agree. I was literally spooning every last bit of caramel sauce and melty ice cream into my mouth while savoring the last few bits of buttery pears....

The addition of mint leaves and coriander leaves adds very refreshing flavor. The spicy taste is coming from green chilies. This fafda chutney has slight tang, zing to it and it comes from citric acid. If your yogurt is sour then reduce the citric acid amount.
