Kelp Noodle Sushi Wrap

Image
I love the crunchy and juicy texture of kelp noodles. Instead of eating them in a salad, I thought I would create a sushi wrap with them. I also made another wrap using swiss chard and it was just as perfect. I think I ate probably 7 of the sushi rolls! Yum! Yield: 1 serving You will need: -1 1/2-2 packages of kelp noodles -1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes -3 chopped up green onions -1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms -Any other vegetables your heart desires -7-10 nori sheets Dressing: -6 tablespoons of tahini -3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar -5 tablespoons of lemon juice -1/2 cup of parsley/cilantro -6-7 tablespoons of water Directions: 1. Soak the kelp noodles in warm water for 15 minutes and drain once ready (I cut the noodles into smaller noodles using scissors) 2. Mix all the ingredients together with as much of the dressing that you desire 3. Wrap the noodle mix, along with any other vegetables you would like into a sushi roll. Continue this process until you are...

About Me

Welcome to my blog! Can't believe it took me this long to finally create one! I've been asked by many to make a blog and to share my recipes. I think I didn't think of pursuing it because I thought I would get over my "hump" of being curious and making vegan creations. I think I have proven myself wrong... Bit by bit, I was finding myself in the kitchen wanting to create more and more and recreate sugary treats into something less guilty. So here I am, creating my blog (May 7th, 2016 at 8pm lol), for the love of animals, humanity, and delicious plant based food. I play many roles... I'm a mother to two amazingly healthy beautiful boys. The best thing that could have ever happened to me is motherhood. It definitely makes you view life a little different, putting the priorities of your kids before you and forgetting to shop for yourself because all I want to do is find things for my boys and be around them and see them happy all the time. I'm a wife...

Banana Apple Oaties

Mmmm... My house smells like heaven! Made some homemade Oaties, which were inspired by Jamba Juice. When I was down in Maui, I saw these little gems in Jamba Juice and was curious to see what we're the ingredients. I looked them up online and then was determined to make a healthier version as soon as I got back to Calgary. Such a delicious treat in the go and you can add whatever you like to them! Enjoy! Yield: 1 dozen cookies You will need: -2 mashed ripe bananas -1/2 cup apple sauce -A dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger -2 teaspoons baking soda -1 cup oat flour -1 cup oats -3/4 cup dried apricots -3/4 cup dried mulberries -1/2 cup dried cranberries -1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings (or chips) Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350F 2. Mix all the ingredients together and place spoonfuls on a lined baking sheet 3. Bake for 15 minutes (or until edges just start to brown lightly). Voila! You've got Oaties!
