Homemade Hummus

Growing up in an Israeli family, I’ve been exposed to quality hummus my whole life. This has made me very picky with my hummus consumption. I’ve made and eaten many versions of hummus recipes and what I know is that nothing makes a bigger difference than using dried beans. I have hummus recipes with canned…

Vegan Lentil Moussaka

I haven’t ever had a chance to eat real moussaka given that I’ve been a vegetarian most of my life.

This dish uses very little oil but is still very flavorful, and is also…

Blueberry Oatmeal Blender Pancakes

My favorite pancake recipe to make is inspired by @holyhealth‘s chocolate chip oatmeal blender pancakes. Her original recipe was a bit too sweet for my family for breakfast, so we have been substituting the chocolate chips with wild frozen blueberries and it’s now one of our favorite breakfasts. Here’s the recipe… Blueberry Oatmeal Blender Pancakes…

Vegan PB cups

I’m not huge on candy, and my favorite American candy by far is Reese’s. Nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate combo!

Here’s her recipe (my edits/comments are…
