NEW: 5-Minute Frappuccino That Doubles as Breakfast!
|
Hi Reader, A few weeks ago I had a mild head cold. You know how sinus congestion can mess with your smell and taste, and make certain foods seem unappealing? Well, that happened with my morning cup of coffee! So I started pondering other ways to get some caffeine. Something icy and cold, with a little sweetness, sounded good. That's when I remembered the instant espresso I'd purchased on impulse a few weeks earlier. π₯³ I started tossing things in the blender, and voila! This creamy, high-protein, coffee frappe was born. I enjoyed it so much I've continued enjoying it once or twice a week as a treat! βVegan Frappuccinoβ
Think of it like a coffee drink that delivers a caffeine boost AND qualifies as a light breakfast or snack! I've even added greens to it β like a green smoothie but with espresso instead of fruit. π Sounds weird but it works! π Save it to Pinterest:

Classic Pasta Salad Every cookout needs at LEAST two different kinds of pasta salad, right? And look...if...
Hi Reader, This was going to be a broccoli rice casserole, until I realized I didn't have any rice. π It was a day when I really needed and wanted to get into the kitchen and test something new. So, I made broccoli quinoa casserole instead! With minor changes, I'm sure the recipe will work with white rice or par-cooked brown rice, too. What really makes it so tasty is taking the time to saute the broccoli first. Basically, we're treating the broccoli like the star that it is, instead of just...
Hi Reader, Happy Mother's Day to everyone celebrating today. Thought I'd pop in with some easy recipes for the weekend and week ahead. Plus, I wanted to share a little behind the scenes update... I've basically been living in vegan cheese test-kitchen mode this week. π Cheddar. Pepper jack. Melt tests. Slice tests. Grating tests. More dirty dishes than I care to discuss. And some angry carpal tunnel (time to wear splints overnight again). A few days ago I asked on Facebook (maybe you saw?),...
