Savory Baked Plantain Chips

November 8, 2019 by Jillian Leave a Comment

So, I tried to make baked tostones, but I sliced them too thin and didn’t mash them, so I ended up with plantain chips! Still delicious, but very different from the original tostones. Plantains look like bananas and are in the same family, but do not contain as much sugar and are not eaten raw like bananas. When cooked, however, they are delicious! These plantain chips are crunchy, slightly browned, with a thin coat of olive oil and salt, and go great with guacamole!!

Candy Corn Fruit Juice

May 26, 2019 by Jillian Leave a Comment

candy corn fruit juice

I realize this post may be deceiving because candy corns are associated with Halloween, which is in October, and I’m posting this in May. The “candy corn” part of the recipe is aesthetics only – it tastes like full on summer, trust me. I decided to shoot some footage of me creating this recipe awhile back, and recently felt motivated to edit it together, so here’s to Halloween in May!

This fruit juice is sweet (also hence the word “candy” in the title) and tropical tasting, so kids will love it too, and it’s full of detoxifying properties and immune boosting vitamins. Plus, it’s easy to make and has simple ingredients. Serve it at your Halloween party or as a healthy alternative to sugary, artificial candy and processed juices. Either way, it will have you feeling energized and glowing! Check out the video and the full recipe below.

Homemade Almond Butter

Homemade Almond Butter has become a staple in my house. I make it about once every week or two, and it’s cheaper and much tastier than buying it at the store! This almond butter tastes perfect with sliced apples, on a sandwich with banana, or even as a sauce on dark chocolate – yum! And I have a couple of secret tips to make sure each batch always comes out delicious!

Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Today it was over 80 degrees in South Texas, so I figured I better hurry up and post this cozy recipe before temperatures start warming up too much!

During these past couple of winter months, I would crave something warm to drink in the evenings but I didn’t want coffee because of the caffeine, and tea just wasn’t hitting the spot. Then I remembered I had peppermint essential oil lying around that I never used for anything. I threw together what I thought would be good… and it turned out amazing! Creamy, rich, not too sweet or chocolatey, with a kick of peppermint and a frothy top.

This recipe is very easy to make and perfect for cold weather, rainy days, watching movies, dessert, or just all around coziness!

Red Lentil & Kale Stew

Y’all, it’s actually cold in South Texas! ❄️☃️

It’s been cold and rainy off and on these past couple of weeks, and we even got snow one morning! I’ve been drinking lots of homemade hot chocolate and snuggling with my foster dog, Opal. Then I remembered this warm, hearty soup I made not too long ago and thought it would be the perfect recipe to post.

This delish soup is my version of Kimberly Snyder’s Red Lentil and Carrot Stew. When it comes to soups and stews, I like to keep it simple, and I’m not a big fan of cooked carrots, so I changed things up just slightly. Make this savory soup for your friends and family, or store in the fridge and have ready made meals! Full of nutrients, fiber, and protein, this Red Lentil & Kale Stew is the perfect cold weather meal!
