I created a polenta pizza topped with sautéed sweet potatoes and mixed veggies. It’s a unique twist on an Italian classic, using flavors that won’t really remind you of pizza at all, but it will feign the pizza experience. It is absolutely delicious and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Make sure you try a slice!

Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Party Cake

IMG_8330

This cake didn’t last very long. Among three girls and a vacant fork aside the cake as it sat on the table to cool down, this vegan chocolate cake never made it to the party. Not what you’d expect from a cake without eggs and milk, eh? Make these into cupcakes or make multiple layers. However you dress it up, the taste remains indulgent and deep with chocolate flavor. Enjoy!

IMG_8341

I really adore peas, but I’m used to buying them in a can, when they’re already softened by a brine and somewhat at a loss of nutrients. Using fresh peas, I was able to enjoy peas in a healthier, unprocessed way. And green beans were never my cup of tea, until I learned how delicious they were when piping hot, slightly browned, and spiced to perfection – they didn’t have to drown in a sauce or be overpowered by other ingredients to taste good. This recipe is so easy and the perfect side dish to any meal.

I’m in love with turnips and I didn’t know that until this week! I’ve never cooked with them before, because for some reason, I assumed that they were bitter like radishes. Au contraire! It’s mellow in flavor and actually quite delicious raw. For this recipe, I cook it like I would a potato in a gratin. However, the resulting dish has far fewer carbs but packs just as much taste! Enjoy!
