Living dairy-free has its benefits. I feel healthier and lighter. Living this way also gave me a chance too be creative and a purpose to experiment to replicate my favorite dishes. Here is a recipe that I thought was decent, but I would still need to do a few changes to make this awesome. I…

Vegan Pumpkin Cupcakes!
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love dressing up and eating pumpkin pie. This year however I am trying something new out. Pumpkin cupcakes with vegan cream cheese icing. I hope they turn out because anything vegan scares me! I think the hardest thing with this recipe is trying to…
Eggless Chickpea Quiche
Oh how I miss eggs. The creamy taste. I miss breakfasts, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, eggs Benedict, omelets and quiches. I have been looking for some egg substitutes that could possibly help with my cravings. I came across this recipe that is made with chickpeas and is supposed to have the texture of eggs. Well…
Onion Pancake
This is an other another recipe that reminds me of my childhood. I decided to make this because my chive plants have been going crazy and needed to be eaten. This is a super simple recipe. If you don’t have chives, just replace it with green onions. Chinese chives are also available some supermarkets. Chive…
Vegan and Gluten Free Peanut Butter Brownies
Having to cut out dairy from my diet has proved to be very challenging. Having to also make sure to make gluten-free and dairy-free recipes proved even more of a challenge. Making sure you take into account of multiple food intolerances leaves you with limited choices in foods and desserts. I found this recipe that…
Non-Dairy Creamer
Going dairy free can be hard. Especially when you love the rich creamy taste of milk in your coffee. I have been looking for an alternative for quite a while. The soy creamers that are available are usually full of sugar (which as you know I cannot have). I tried hemp milk, almond milk, cashew…
Spinach Gomaae
Make spinach interesting by adding a bit of Japanese flavour to it. This recipe is from Hana! http://www.hanaetsuko.com. The first step is to buy and cook lots and lots of spinach. Spinach wilts a lot so I recommend buying twice (or triple) the amount that you would think you need. I placed the spinach in a…
Chickpea Flour and Chickpea Flatbread
Friday was a lazy day for me. All I wanted to do was get some rest but I also wanted a nice tasty snack. In my search for gluten free breads I stumbled across homemade chickpea flour. What made this nice was that I could make my own flour. I always try to have chickpeas…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Avocado Pudding
In my quest to replace dairy in my life, I stumbled upon a dairy free chocolate peanut butter pudding made from bananas and avocados. The recipe was posted on Huffington Post so you would think that it would taste pretty good. I gave it a shot! First buy ripe avocados. You will need 1 1/2 (but…
Dairy-free Ice Cream Cake
Having restrictions in your diet doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy what you eat. You just need to find ways to work around it. It allows you to try new things and expand your food choices. My sister just recently stopped having dairy. I guess that is a good thing because dairy isn’t really that…
