Salt & Vinegar Brussels Sprouts Chips

March 1, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

brussels sprouts chips

I’ve been super healthy all week. No french fries. Not a lot of processed foods. But I’m craving something salty. I loooove chips. They are my weakness. So I decide to have a snack and pour myself a nice bowl of brussels sprouts chips?… No, I haven’t gone bonkers. And I know that chips and brussels sprouts aren’t normally put together in the same sentence. But for all you plant loving people out there that have made or eaten kale chips, it’s the same concept.

Crispy, salty, slightly tangy chips made from bite sized brussels sprouts that are drizzled in olive oil and baked in the oven. Yes. So much yes πŸ‘ŒπŸŽ‰

Did you know that this stinky, cruciferous veggie contains more cancer fighting phytonutrients than those found in kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or mustard greens? Brussels sprouts are also anti-inflammatory, good for heart health, promote digestive support, and when cooked properly they contain tons of vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, and a host of other nutrients.

Chocolate Marshmallow Cupcakes with Raspberry Glaze

For me, Valentine’s Day is all about love…. πŸ’˜ Love of chocolate, that is. That’s completely acceptable, right? However, my love of chocolate is quickly being edged out by Dandies Marshmallows. They’re so light and fluffy, made from all natural plant based ingredients and nothing artificial. Plus, the marshmallows are dressed in cute little bow ties on the bag πŸ˜‚

I took a cue from Black Bottom Cupcakes, which are chocolate cupcakes with a flowing cream cheese center, and decided to use Dandies instead. The result? Moist chocolately cupcakes with a sweet and slightly chewy center, topped with homemade raspberry glaze and a dollop of cream cheese. Oh, and it’s super easy to make, and vegan & gluten free. I mean, it’s crazy that I’m single. Unless, this guy counts as my boyfriend…

Eggplant Parmesan Casserole

Eggplants are my spirit animal βœ¨πŸ† I mean wait… but you get what I’m saying, right? Eggplants are my jam right now, not literally but maybe eggplant jam is an actual thing to look into πŸ˜†

I’ve liked eggplant for a while now, but it wasn’t until I lived in Beijing and discovered a dish with white rice, potatoes, and eggplant smothered in a delicious sauce that I realized Hey, eggplants are super cool and a good meat substitute. I should eat them more often. Enter this saucy (literally) recipe for Eggplant Parmesan Casserole. Hearty brown rice, garlic sauteed eggplant slices, savory tomato sauce, and melted vegan cheese all in the form of a comforting and satisfying casserole.

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 β„οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜”οΈ 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 πŸœπŸ‘…

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

Chocolate Sweet Potato Cake With Coconut Creme Fraiche

Oh heyyy there, don’t mind me drooling/crying over this mouthwatering cake situation πŸ˜‚ Maybe you’re thinking that I’ve finally lost my marbles because chocolate and sweet potato are two foods that you would never imagine mixing together. But wait! βœ‹ Let’s stop and think about this for a minute. After making the most delicious confections using beets as my secret ingredient (Fudgy Vegan Beet Cupcakes, Vegan S’mores Fudge Brownies, and Chocolate Chip Chia Beet Scones), I began to wonder what else I could bake using earthy root vegetables, because they make baked goods moist & amazing without tasting like earthy root vegetables.

Around this time I also began binge eating sweet potatoes in many forms, but mostly in the form of these Sweet Potato Fries with Magic Sauce. Let’s just take a minute and give sweet potatoes a shout out πŸ‘πŸ’˜πŸ˜˜πŸ 

What I came up with was a moist chocolate cake with a subtle sweetness, topped off with coconut creme fraiche and fresh mint 😍 You can thank me later.
