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. Flash forward to my adult (and vegan) years, I can't remember the last time I had a pop-tart! Making a homemade version has always been something I wanted to try, but … Continue reading I tried The Fit Peach’s Healthy Homemade Blueberry Pop-Tart recipe, with some interesting results… (vegan & gluten free)
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.

Nonetheless, whenever I think about grocery store … Continue reading Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (vegan)
Crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings (vegan)

I tried making bao buns with char siu seitan (vegan)
Growing up as a kid, I ate many types of bao buns, custard, lotus seed paste, red bean, and pork and chive filled ones. To be honest I was always wary of bringing them to school because I didn't want to be made fun of or have to explain what I was eating. Flash forward … Continue reading I tried making bao buns with char siu seitan (vegan)
