I often find myself at the end of the week with 2-3 ripe avocados that I don't know how to use up. Sure there are the classics: guacamole or avocado toast, but sometimes you want something different. This weekend I was in this exact predicament. I got to thinking about what I could do with … Continue reading 6-ingredient healthier chocolate mousse tarts (vegan)
How to make the best chai lattes at home (hot or iced) (vegan)
If you've been following my blog for a while, you might know that I actually posted a Copy-cat Starbucks Chai Tea Latte recipe last summer. In that post, I mentioned how 1) expensive and 2) much sugar a single chai tea latte from Starbucks can be/have. Well, since then, I've consumed lots of chai, and … Continue reading How to make the best chai lattes at home (hot or iced) (vegan)
I tried making croissants using the NYT Cooking’s recipe… (vegan)
When I told people I was going to try making croissants, I got various reactions: skepticism, admiration, excitement, and above all else, they wished me luck. Little did I know it, but I would need it! If I had to describe my experience making croissants in a few words/phrases, I would say: time-consuming, greasy (lol), … Continue reading I tried making croissants using the NYT Cooking’s recipe… (vegan)

Growing up, I loved pop-tarts. Especially the s'mores ones. In elementary school I would trade anything and everything for some of those delicious pastries.

Crispy Air Fryer Coconut Crusted Tofu Bites (vegan)
Cooking tofu in the air fryer may be my favourite method because it makes the breading super crispy without being greasy and the circulation of hot air in the fryer basket helps remove some of the excess moisture in the tofu, making it chewy and concentrating the flavour of the marinade, which I love. But … Continue reading Crispy Air Fryer Coconut Crusted Tofu Bites (vegan)

Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (vegan)
Does anyone remember how in elementary school, kids' parents would bring in a grocery store birthday cake to celebrate their child's birthday? The good old days. I think by the time I graduated high school that was no longer allowed due to allergies and health & safety policies. Nonetheless, whenever I think about grocery store … Continue reading Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (vegan)
Crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings (vegan)
I would like to formally thank whoever created the air fryer because I am simply OB-SESSED.

Onion rings have been a favourite of mine ever since … Continue reading Crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings (vegan)

I love smoothie bowls for so many reasons, but holy heck can they be expensive to purchase. But don't worry, they're super easy to make at home and cost way less! Here … Continue reading Pink Dragon Smoothie Bowl (vegan)
Rainbow Veggie Fresh Rolls (vegan)
When I was younger, my mom would always make fresh rolls, and as I grew up and started experimenting with different flavours, I’ve loved recreating them with loads of veggies and plant-based protein.
