Sweet Potato Sundae

sweet potato sundae

This will be my fourth recipe featuring sweet potatoes ๐Ÿ  As you can tell, I don’t like them at all ๐Ÿ˜‚

I have my savory Sweet Potato Fries with Magic Sauce which I eat on a weekly basis because they’re so amazing, and then there’s this divine Chocolate Sweet Potato Cake with Coconut Creme Fraiche situation going on. Today’s recipe is similar to one of my earliest recipes I ever posted on this website for Sweet Potato Pudding. It came to me after I got cute little sample bags of Dandies Marshmallows at the Vida Vegan Con Bazaar in Austin.

Creamy, blended sweet potato topped with melted vegan butter, cinnamon, dark chocolate chips, and puffy vegan marshmallows. Just as satisfying as an ice cream sundae ๐Ÿจ but waaaaay healthier and cruelty free!

Creamy Vegan Coffee Milk

The weird winter weather of southeast Texas is here to stay, well, at least through February. It includes frigid nights mixed with sunny warm days and bouts of rain โ„๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜”๏ธ I’ve been craving warm foods like soup, sweet potato fries, gnocchi, and hot tea. Lately I’ve been buying vegan ramen from the health foods store and adding in mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, and tofu. It’s so delicious ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ‘…

But for those random winter days that end up feeling more like spring (my Texas peeps know โœŠ) here’s a frothy, creamy, java induced recipe that is served cold and is the closest thing to heaven ๐Ÿ˜‡

Wintertime at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary

December 17, 2015 by Jillian 2 Comments

winterizing rowdy girl

This is how I like my chickenย โ˜๏ธ alive and showered with love ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ”I had such a great time during My Visit to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary back in September, that I just had to come back for more! Renee and Tommy are working so hard for the dozens of animals that would otherwise be slaughtered for food, and since I don’t live super far from their sanctuary in southeast Texas, I signed up to be a volunteer ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ‰ I couldn’t wait to see to see all my furry friends again and meet the newly rescued residents, including 2 pigs ๐Ÿท and several cows from Florida ๐Ÿฎ

During this most recent trip to Rowdy Girl, Renee described to me all the preparations her and Tommy are making to ensure that the animals stay safe and comfortable this winter. Texas winters aren’t exactly brutal, but with immensely unpredictable weather, and all that rain coming from the coast, it can cause very treacherous grounds for the animals ๐ŸŒŠโ„๏ธ The pathways get so muddy that the cows’ legs sink down several inches and that’s no fun ๐Ÿ˜ž especially when it’s meal time and they want to get their food!

Pumpkin, Banana & Peanut Butter Scones

May 18, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

heart shaped scone

So many scones, so little time… That’s my motto these days. Scones seem to be my new food obsession, or just my new obsession in general. All I wanna do is eat scones. Scones with hot tea. Scones with coffee. Scones with a side of scones. What I love about this recipe for Pumpkin, Banana & Peanut Butter Scones is that they are vegan and gluten free, so you can eat several and not worry about skyrocketing your insulin levels, gaining weight, or consuming a bunch of processed ingredients. Plus, they are deeeeelicious!

Turmeric Milk

March 13, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

turmeric milk

I’m crazy about this drink! If you want a delicious and healthy alternative to coffee, hot cocoa, or tea, then turmeric milk is your drink. It’s packed full of cancer fighting antioxidants but you don’t even notice because you’re too busy enjoying the creamy taste and the rich yellow color. Make this warm drink in the morning for a coffee substitute, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or in the evening when you’re winding down. I like to drink it mid-morning as a light snack or before bed with a piece of dark chocolate. You will fall in love with this easy to make drink.

Before we get started, I want to quickly go over the health benefits of Turmeric:

  • It fights inflammation, and since inflammation leads to diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and other chronic diseases, that’s pretty awesome.
  • It’s a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals (which also cause cancer).
  • It’s linked to improved brain function.
  • Can lower the risk of heart disease, prevent and treat Alzheimer’s, and alleviate arthritis.
  • Studies show that it may treat depression.
  • Turmeric benefits anti-aging.

These are just a few of the many benefits of using turmeric. If you don’t already have some lying around in your kitchen, go out and buy some and get busy using it!

I originally found the recipe for turmeric milk at Nutrition Stripped, which is a blog I highly recommend. It contains some great plant based recipes and resources for healthy living. I decided to make my own simplified version of this vegan drink. Here goes!
