Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake

We wanted to make a few ideas we had for a nice romantic Valentine’s day dinner. Naturally, the dessert was the easiest idea to come up with: chocolate! We had been wanting to make a version of our vegan gluten free chocolate cake that had orange in it to give it some zest (pun intended). So we made this gluten free vegan chocolate orange cake! It also has melted chocolate chunks in the cake to really melt those chocolate lovers out there 🙂 Here is how we made it: Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake Continue reading Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake →

Cardamom Salad

Usually when you think of cardamom the powder comes to mind. Here we are using the leaves from the cardamom plant to make a cardamom salad! It is a delicious salad!

Fresh cardamom leaves give an amazing flavor to a plain lettuce salad. Somewhat spicy, with some chopped green onions and sun-dried tomatoes; this cardamom salad is very tasty!

Ingredients:

  • 1 big bunch of lettuce leaves
  • Fresh cardamom leaves
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tomato
  • 5-6 sun dried tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt

Wash the lettuce and the cardamom leaves very well, along with the tomato and the green onions. Chop everything to your taste and serve with sun dried tomatoes, sea salt and olive oil.

Some would say you cannot eat this extra cheesy broccoli soup standing because your knees will buckle. Want to know how to make the perfect broccoli soup? Here’s how:

Gluten Free Vegan Meatball Bread

These little balls of bread are very delicious. They go very well with our marinara sauce! Obviously these make a great Super Bowl snack as well. This gluten free vegan meatball bread idea came to existence by accident but ended up being so delicious that we had to share them. A few weeks ago, I was trying to create a gluten-free vegan meatball since most of the ways it’s done uses gluten. I ended up using too much flour and these little meatball breads emerged. Sometimes failures can be a success in the kitchen, rarely, but sometimes. Here is how I made them: Continue reading Gluten Free Vegan Meatball Bread →

Gluten Free Vegan Banana Bread

I really have been wanting to make gluten free vegan banana bread for a while. It seemed we kept buying bananas that were nowhere near ripe enough to pull it off for the longest time! Of course, by the time the bananas were almost ripe enough to make the bread we had eaten them all! I finally was able to do it though and it was very delicious!
