Read MoreQuick Injera Recipe with Wheat Flour
Traditionally, injera bread takes days to make. I wanted a fast version though for nights when I simply hadn’t been able to plan ahead enough to make injera properly. Although this recipe doesn’t have the classic sourdough flavor, the texture is relatively similar and the flavor goes well with most Ethiopian dishes. Print Fast Injera…
Read MoreEthiopian Berbere Spice Mix
This will be updated until I finally make a mix that I like… I’m on an Ethiopian food adventure right now, so I figured it was necessary to figure out how to make my own berbere spice mix! It’s a bit difficult to obtain here in Mexico (especially in larger quantities), so making my own…

But, after about 7 minutes in the oven, I saw that the cookies were melting all over the place! I left them until they’d…

Read MoreSugar-Free Strawberry-Lemon Cheesecake
This delicious strawberry-lemon cheesecake is a play on a vegan key lime pie recipe that I made recently. I didn’t realize that the final result of this recipe would be a cheesecake-y flavor and texture, but since cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, I was pleasantly surprised! Plus, this vegan cheesecake recipe is…
Read MoreLemon “Loaf” + Icing
This is a fun dessert that is unlike any other dessert I’ve come across. Although intended for baking in a loaf pan (a cake pan would work too), this “loaf” is candy-like and indulgent. But, even though it’s indulgent, this is a guilt-free dessert that’s vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free! Almond flour may be substituted…
