Purple Cinnamon Chia Oatmeal
Did you know that blueberries protect the brain, and also prevent insulin spikes from occurring? This makes blueberries the perfect addition to any breakfast food that uses any form of concentrated simple sugar, such as cane sugar, maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar.

Vegan Freezer Fudge
Here goes again. Another dessert recipe. It’s the Autumn now, and sweet treats seem to be raining from the sky… it starts with Halloween in October and continues on until January hits, when people make those traditional “New Year’s Resolutions” to lose weight, or cut out sugar, or whatever fad “diet” that continues to bypass…

Vegan Congo Bars
These nuggets of deliciousness contain that gooey and dense texture. I grew up eating these, and still have the traditional recipe my mom used.

When I make curry at home, I grab ideas for ingredients from mixed resources… there’s Red Thai Curry, then of course Green curry, Indian curry (“Jalfrezi”) and of course there’s the traditional curry. I have followed many recipes “to the tee,” with careful grocery store planning to obtain every ingredient. Lately however, my life is…
