Truth time. I made this recipe, but I used a whole bag of white beans because they have been sitting in my pantry forever. My lack of measuring finally caught up with me because this sauce was very herby, but missing some other tastes. I ended up adding nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and a little pink Himalayan salt to my bowl. I made my sauce … Continue reading Vegan Alfredo Sauce

The blueberry oatmeal is a great choice if you’re feeling risky. Why risky? 1/5 times that I get this breakfast, there is either some type of mold on the fruit or the bag of nuts, or like today, the blueberries aren’t sweet. They also forgot my agave nectar so I’m sprinkling a little brown sugar on it and making the best of it. However, when … Continue reading Starbucks Breakfast Option
