I loooooove smoothies! And in summer, putting mango into smoothies is not only my preference, I feel like it should be mandatory! You don’t get tropical notes without a blend of mango and coconut.

I love making super-simple, surprising, and yet healthy cookies, like my 3-Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies, 3-Ingredient Banana Cookies, or Christmas Wreath Cookies, but today I decided to experiment with pecan nuts.

I have a passion for smoothie recipes, like my Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie, Banana Peach Smoothie, or Chocolate Cherry Smoothie.

Ingredients and Substitutions The best combination of simple ingredients to make a raspberry smoothie tasty are:...

I love English muffins, but the classic recipe contains milk and sometimes butter so I knew I had to make a plant-based version, the same way I made my Vegan Crepes and Vegan Waffles. Some store-bought English muffin brands are accidentally vegan-friendly, using vegetable shortening and water instead of milk but I prefer to make my own! Ingredients and Substitutions Bread Flour – or all-purpose flour. You can also use spelt flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour....
