Mexican Eggs Benedict

If I am going out for breakfast or Sunday brunch, the first thing my eyes search for is the keyword: benedict. I’m obsessed with the concept of having a carb, piece of meat, poached egg, creamy hollandaise sauce, and fun toppings all on one fork and for every bite. Talk about an explosion of flavors!

So why wait for the next brunch invitation when you can make eggs benedict at home! And sure, you can totally make the American classic eggs benedict which consists of two halves of an English muffin, each topped with Canadian bacon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce OR… you can make it my way = the spicy, healthy, and fun way!

Apple Cider Churro Donuts

Last week, we had a local event in the area where business fronts downtown Hartwell would open their doors for women to shop, receive discounts in store all while enjoying delicious fall treats! In my office building, the chiropractor made warm apple cider, chocolate hummus, and goat cheese stuffed dates with chopped pistachios. So good!

Running on the apple cider train, I decided in my dreams that I should make some sort of apple cider donut! Haha, I swear, pressure to recipe development is where it’s at for me! As you can tell in the pictures, I have cute mini donuts sprinkled in and that is because my initial thought was to use them as a garnish for the apple cider!

Now, if you decide to use the apple cider churro donuts as a garnish for your apple cider or apple cider mimosas, then please take pictures and share - It would just be the cutest thing!

Fudgy Paleo Brownies

Growing up, brownies were my least favorite dessert. Maybe because the flavors were too rich or the texture was too dry, but nonetheless, I stopped eating them. Of course I would get the judgy looks and sneers but hey, they didn’t taste good to me! That is, until I had a fudgy vegan brownie at this bakery in Atlanta and I was floored! It was like the heavens opened up with arms wide open and sucked me in!

The Best Spicy Vegan Cheese Sauce

Ever since I found out that I was intolerant to dairy, my world crumbled before my eyes (pun intended)! So, you are trying to tell me that I cannot have mac and cheese, cheese on my pizza or queso from Mexican restaurants!? Are you trying to kill me!?

Since then, I have been scouring the web for the best dairy-free alternatives! To be honest, it’s hard finding alternatives that are not overly processed or inexpensive. But even though grocery stores are getting better at providing alternatives, it’s nice to know I can make something quick at home with staple ingredients that are always on hand. And I can do it on the cheap!
