Ginger - Turmeric Muffins

I've decided that every time I catch myself doing something useless when I'm bored... like watching a reality show, I'm going to bake healthy snacks instead. 

So today I made some healthy muffins that also taste great. I found this recipe off of the VEGA website!

Ingredients:

- 2 cup a all purpose flour.

- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda.

- 1/2 tsp salt.

- 1 tsp turmeric powder.

- 1 tsp ginger powder.

- 1 lemon, zested and juiced.

- 3/4 cup coconut sugar.

- 1 cup coconut milk or almond milk.

- 1/3 cup olive oil.

- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract.

- 1 Tsp apple cider vinegar.

- 1/2 cup chopped mango.

Directions:

- preheat oven to 400F and grease muffin tin. I greased it with coconut oil.

- in a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, turmeric, and ginger.  Once combined push the flour to the sides of the bowl creating a hole in the middle.

- in another bowl, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, milk, olive oil, vanilla extract and all cider vinegar.

- Pour wet ingredients into the hole in the flour mixture.

- Gently mix dry ingredients into wet. Do not over mix. 

- fold in mango. 

- fill muffins 2/3rd full. 

- bake for 25 minutes. 

Creamy Cauliflower Pasta Sauce a.k.a Vegan Alfredo Sauce

I love converting non-vegan food to vegan and making it delicious and super healthy. This is my take on a vegan alfredo sauce. I absolutely adore this recipe!! It is so creamy and delicious you will definitely go for seconds. This recipe makes about 4-6 servings.

Ingredients:

- 8 garlic cloves; minced.
- 6-8 cauliflower florets.
- 1/2 cup soy milk.
- vegan butter or coconut oil.
- 6 cups vegetable broth or water.
- 1 tsp salt.
- 1/2 tsp pepper.

Directions:
Sauté garlic cloves in vegan butter or coconut oil until softened, do not burn the garlic or it will taste bitter! When finished put it aside.

Bring vegetable broth or water to a boil and add cauliflower florets. Boil for about 10 minutes or until cauliflower is soft.

Add the softened cauliflower into a blender, add garlic cloves, add 1 cup of the boiled liquid, add 1/2 cup soy milk and add your salt and pepper. Blend until it makes a creamy mixture. You can add some olive oil to make the sauce more consistent.  You can also add more salt if needed.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and leave a comment to let me know what you think of it!
