These Lace Tuile Cookies are quite delightful! ⁣
⁣
Are you a lace cookie fan? I love how they look so fancy yet are easy to make. They cook up in no time so you can have dessert ready when the craving hits. ⁣
⁣
🍰 Baking is so much fun and not just the eating part. It’s so cool how the cookies spread out so much and become delicate, super thin and crispy. The caramelly, nutty deliciousness hits all the right notes! For a contrasting texture, I filled them with a smooth and rich chocolate ganache. ⁣
⁣
➡️ Swipe to see the process and other shapes (which is your fave?), and then there’s me with @quincypupnyc after making all these cookies!⁣
⁣
💗 I love sharing treats with my friends and family. These were a big hit! ⁣

Ok, so I am a bit obsessed with making aquafaba meringue! This Baked Alaska turned out so good! Definitely has that WOW factor. Everyone loved it. ⁣

𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗮 is layers of cake, ice cream, topped with meringue. One of the great things about vegan meringue is you can eat it straight up, caramelize it with a kitchen torch - no baking necessary like with meringues made from egg whites. ⁣
⁣
-> The cake recipe is @goodcakesfran Chocolate Cake to Live For⁣
⁣
-> The ice cream is @so_delicious Salted Caramel Cluster (cashew milk based)⁣

What do you think? Pretty magical what that liquid from a can of chickpeas can do.

These muffins turned out 𝘚𝘖 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥!! Recipe is from @zsus_vegan_pantry 🍋 One of the ingredients is aqua faba aka bean juice. 🍋 Sounds crazy, but aqua faba has none of the bean taste and all the egg white whipping possibilities!! ⁣

I’m so psyched to work with aqua faba to create 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴 and 𝘉𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘢.

Here’s a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Banana oatmeal with fresh berries! This has become my new favorite go-to breakfast. ⁣
⁣
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯? I am for sure. I find that adding the banana in the mix instead of as a topping, you really don’t need to add additional sweeteners to your oatmeal. Although, I did sprinkle some vanilla coconut sugar on top just for fun, for the gram! 🙂 ⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼: ⁣
⁣
* Mash a banana with a fork. ⁣
* Add approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of almond milk or other plant milk. ⁣
* Mix to combine. ⁣
* Add spices if you want. I added a dash or two of cinnamon. ⁣
* Stir in 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats. ⁣
* Cook on the stove top or microwave 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Stop and stir half way through. ⁣
⁣
𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦: I added a tablespoon of @so_delicious coconut creamer too for some extra creamy goodness. ⁣

Top with peanut butter or other seed or nut butter drizzle if you like.

Chickpeas or garbanzo beans are such a versatile vegan food. They can take on so many different textures. This is my favorite go-to lunch! ⁣

⁣
𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:⁣
⁣
1. Mash chickpeas in a bowl with a potato masher until there are no whole chickpeas. (a 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘬.)⁣
2. Mix in the lemon juice, mayo or tahini, and nutritional yeast aka nooch.⁣
3. Chop the celery, shred the carrots, chop the chives and add to the mashed chickpea mixture.⁣
4. Add remaining ingredients and mix together.⁣
⁣
𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: ⁣
⁣
- Serve with sliced green apple and sliced carrots. ⁣
- Make a closed or open-faced sandwich. I like toasted @foodforlifebaking Ezekiel bread with sliced tomatoes.⁣
- Make romaine lettuce boats. Just scoop some chickpea salad onto a romaine lettuce leaf - so good and refreshing.⁣
- Serve with corn chips as a “dip.”⁣
- Serve on rice cakes⁣
⁣
NOTE: I was being lazy AF today so added just chopped apples, red pepper, and dry dill. It was still delicious! ⁣
