Vegan "Ricotta"

I heard someone say that you can make a decent ricotta out of tofu. I know, it's not really ricotta, except it kind of is? I don't know, it's really good, it tastes like it's supposed to to taste, and it works beautifully! I've used it in 3 different puff pastries and I loved them all!Pastry 1 - leek and frozen green peas sautéed in olive oil and a bit of lemon juicePastry 2 - garlic butter kalePastry 3 - frozen berriesI loved all three of them and can't choose my favourite! I think this ricotta would work great as ravioli stuffing as well, I think I might try that next!If you like my content you can check here for more

Korean Beef Short Ribs

Do you remember your first Korean BBQ experience at a restaurant? My first experience is ingrained in my memory because of two things. One, my first taste of Korean BBQ was simply amazing. Like wow! All these flavors of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness and smokiness. Two, you don’t realize how much you smell like the food you just ate. And, I don’t know about you but I am always stuffed to the brim when I leave and smelling it on the drive home just drives me nuts - haha. Korean short ribs is one of those things that I often make at home. It’s incredibly easy and the family goes crazy over it. Sure, you can buy a bottle of marinade at the store but it’s so easy to make at home. And, it means you don’t have another bottle taking up space in the fridge. I don’t know about you but I am always trying to make room in my fridge for everything I’m cooking.

Monster Cookie Protein Bites

Pizza Rolls

These pizza rolls are an oldie but a goodie!Now I can’t take credit for these- this original recipe was written by Michelle Ayala, an amazing baker who was in my church congregation growing up. She taught the youth to make these, and I’ve been making them ever since. I’ve added a few of my own tweaks since then, but these rolls will always have some nostalgia for me. This is one of the first meals I made for my husband when we were married. And since then I can think of the specific places and people I’ve made this for since joining the military. They’re definitely a family favorite! The dough is mixed with italian seasoning and garlic to give it some extra flavor, and spread lightly with pasta sauce, then topped with Cheese and Pepperoni. Then after they’re baked, you take the extra sauce for dipping in. It’s seriously so fun, and makes a ton- so be prepared to have leftovers for days!If you have any questions, you can comment below!

Irish Soda Bread

Irish Soda Bread is a type of quick bread that doesn't use any yeast - instead, all of its leavening comes from baking soda and buttermilk. Specifically, the acid in the buttermilk reacts with the base of the baking soda to provide the bread's leavening. This Irish Soda bread was passed down to me from one of my great-aunt's, and my family has enjoyed it for years.This bread is a delightful mix of being soft, dense, yummy sweet pops of raisins, and has a wonderful crusty outside. Slather on some delicious Irish butter for a great afternoon snack, hearty side dish or even breakfast!My family prefers Irish Soda Bread without caraway seeds, but feel free to add 1 teaspoon if you wish! Also, some people prefer the bread without raisins, so feel free to leave those out as well.

Pineapple Mint Spitzer

March is Women Empowerment Month, so to celebrate I created a new mint flavored cocktail and creating the Mini Women EmpowerMint Bevvie Series :) This drink was actually inspired by a pineapple tattoo I have, believe it or not. Years ago I saw a quote which read, "Ladies, be a pineapple. Stand tall, be sweet, and wear a crown." I absolutely loved that and it stuck with me for so long I ended up getting a pineapple tattoo on my left heel to remind me everyday. Knowing I wanted to use pineapple juice in this empowermint cocktail, I knew I had to incorporate the leaves into a crown garnish. If you make this drink, it's obviously optional, but I hope one day this drink shows up at a Galentine's Day brunch, a bachelorette party or bridal shower, or maybe just two girlfriends sipping on them together on a Sunday as they do life together crowns and all. However, a mint sprig is another great/easier option for a garnish.

I am sure you could use blackberries or raspberries by themselves, but you may need to adjust the sugar. Also, you could use just strawberries alone which would give it more of a cobbler than shortcake taste.

Vegan Fluffy Pizza

Today I want to share with you my recipe for an all vegan cream-based fluffy pizza - it's ridiculously good!The inspiration behind this one is actually a PizzaHut pizza. In some European countries, PizzaHut makes a carbonara pizza which has always been my favourite, but for a while now I've lived in a country where they don't serve it. So I've been trying to make my own version of it. I never quite nailed it, but I managed to come pretty close a few times. This is by no means that, as there's nothing vegan about the original, but that's where I got the inspiration for these flavours.If you like my content, you can check here for more!

Mushroom Stuffed Meatloaf

This is a classic meal with a twist. My beef meatloaf is stuffed with mushrooms and spinach and is prepared in a red wine and Dijon sauce. I used lots of fresh herbs and garlic. It was truly delicious. The recipe below is also Passover friendly if you substitute Matzoh meal for the breadcrumbs. You can use any kind of mushrooms, but I used sliced cremini mushrooms. One bonus that was really yummy was that the crust on the outside of the loaf got crispy so that the best part of the meatloaf is the end pieces.
