Radish TartBy DesireeThis recipe is a take off an Asian classic dim sum....turnip cake. The traditional way to make turnip cake is with a rice flour batter, dried shrimp, some type of meat and mushrooms. I decided to reconstruct this Asian classic, use all veggies and make a quiche like tart.
Gluten Free Carrot Carrot Waffle SandwichesBy DesireeThese waffles are absolutely divine, they are soft, moist and taste like actual carrot cake! They are gluten free, filling and protein rich! I used a blend of green banana flour and chickpea flour for the waffles and it provided the best consistency. The middle of the waffle sandwiches is a lactose free cream cheese with live active cultures. Or a nondairy cream cheese can be used.
The Absolute Best Spaghetti SquashBy DesireeThis recipe is perfect for those watching their carb intake or are gluten intolerant. It's quick and easy. The only time consuming activity is cooking the spaghetti squash. And that can be very easy by just popping the squash whole in your oven. First poke a couple slits in the squash. Place the squash on a pan and bake for about 30 minutes. You will know when the squash is done when you can insert a knife into the squash and it goes through easily. Once that is done you're really for the toppings!!! Below is a topping recipe that will make sure you're spaghetti squash is the best ever!
Apricot Pudding PiesBy DesireeIn this recipe there is no additional sugar besides what’s in the dried apricots. There’s no dairy, nuts and gluten. It’s all plant based. This dessert is inspired by the flavors of India. It's also inspired by a fruit which really doesn’t get a lot of attention but is packed with loads of nutrients….the almighty apricot. I’m really happy as to how this recipe came out. The pudding is creamy and the crust has great texture due to the quinoa flakes and chickpea flour. The overall results is a delicious, nutritious, sweet treat to be eaten anytime of the day.
