I tried making these chocolate quinoa crisps from the Toasted Pinenut that I had saved to Pinterest, and even though they looked nothing like the picture I saw online, they still tasted great. This definitely isn’t my favorite dessert I have featured on this blog, but it’s a fun addition to add crumbled on top of…

Cauliflower Shawarma
I love the smells of shawarma, but as a vegetarian, its hard to find something that absorbs the flavor of this seasoning as well as meat. I’ve tried different vegetarian versions (on tofu, broccoli, and cauliflower), and my favorite by far has been on cauliflower. Shawarma seasoning is a blend of cumin, coriander, paprika and…

Frozen bananas are the exception though! I actually like banana nice cream better than banana flavored ice cream! Plus, this dessert…
How to make black beans from scratch

Cooking a homemade version makes you appreciate how much time goes into this staple food in latin cuisine. Plus, it’s healthier when it is made it home because your black beans will have less sodium and…
Sweet Potato Arepas
Before I moved to Miami, I didn’t even know what an arepa was. Boy was this gringa missing out! Arepas are made of corn flour and can be topped or filled with your favorite ingredients. Plus, this dish is great for vegetarians like myself because you can ask for it without meat, and often you…
Socca Pizza
Recipe inspired from different socca pizza recipes from The Cutting Veg and Cotter Crunch According to Cotter Crunch, “Socca (the French name) or Farinata (the Italian name) is basically chickpea flatbread.” Besides chickpea flour, Socca is made with common ingredients you should already have in your kitchen! It’s delicious, nutritious, vegan (the socca part, not the…
