Coconut Milk Panna Cotta

When I was in Italy, panna cotta was one of my favorite desserts! And fortunately enough, my body was able to tolerate the luxurious mixture of whole milk and heavy cream. But when ordering panna cotta from an Italian restaurant in the states, it definitely hits me (and my gut!) differently. Lol

So that is why I have created a healthy spin on the traditional panna cotta, using full fat canned coconut milk. Not only is this dessert dairy free, but it’s also free of refined sugar using pure maple syrup as the sweetener.

Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls

Is your love language, baking?! Then here’s your opportunity to bake a delicious, gooey, flaky pan of red velvet cinnamon rolls for your significant other, best friend, or for yourself! The person you are baking for is gluten and/or dairy intolerant/allergic? That’s okay, I have provided swaps!

If you are short on time but still love to make homemade delicious treats, then I have provided a way to make them overnight. That way, you can throw them in the oven first thing in the morning, go back to your snuggle sesh, and be woken up by the delicious aroma of cinnamon rolls!

Rosemary & Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs

‘Tis the season for comfort food, chaotic schedules, and holiday parties. What better dish to appease all three things than a staple braised short rib recipe, amiright?! That’s why I created a dish that requires one pot, very few ingredients (and most you will have on hand), and high-quality meat that is cooked in less time than most short rib recipes.

In my opinion, braising short ribs is the way to go if you want to develop the best flavor!

Citrus Hibiscus Sangria

Having From the Roots just turned 1 yesterday and the website getting a face-lift, I wanted to celebrate with something, fun, fruity, and flavorful. What better way to celebrate than with a drink?

From the Roots has become way more than I have ever imagined. I started out just posting recipes I have created throughout the years and now it has turned into so much more. Within this year, we have been invited to do pop-up events, catered for parties and grand openings for businesses, collaborated with major health product companies, became a brand ambassador for Further Food, Banza, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods, and have connected with so many amazing people - YOU!

I couldn’t have done this without YOU, so thank you so much! Well, I could keep rambling, but let’s get to the recipe! I made this into a mock-tail form originally for a Galentine’s Day event. It was such a big hit! But TBH, it would be an even more hit if you added wine or prosecco to it…  But you can do whatever you like! ;)
