Coconut Hemp Pancakes
Pancakes are one of those foods that you forget how much you love until you make them again. Sweet, yet hearty and topped with you heart’s desire; the pancake really is what you make it. Most recently, I figured out a way to make them without butter and eggs and they’re just as delicious.
The Spirit and Vibrancy of New Orleans
The air was so thick you could imagine slicing through it as if it was a block of cheese. I’m not unaccustomed to humidity; I’m from South Carolina, but New Orleans is another animal entirely.
As I meandered down the side streets of the city I was struck by the balance of Old World grime and New World vibrancy. It’s a city with a culture all its own that somehow emerged in the Deep South. I’ve been here on numerous occasions and each time I’m lured back by the spirit of a people that no matter what, will always call New Orleans home.

Coconut Curry Noodles
I would love to be trained in the art of curries. I imagine it would take months to learn and even longer to become proficient. Curry is a generic term in the west to denote a wide variety of dishes originating in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Thai or other Southeast Asian cuisines. The base is often vegan and at the same time, loaded with flavor.

Vegan Banana Bread
Friday was the husband’s birthday so I wanted to make something special for breakfast. I wanted it to be slightly indulgent but at the same time healthy. It’s made with dates, spelt flour, apple sauce, safflower oil, and maple syrup rather than butter, eggs, white flour, and sugar. The best part is that it still comes out ooey, gooey, and delicious.

I’ve never been one who cares in the least bit about accumulating wealth. Ok, I guess there was that purse phase right out of college.

But budgeting your life gives you a chance at freedom when life becomes monotonous. It gives you the opportunity to avoid being tied to your job and instead, follow your passions.
