Fresh and Easy Ceviche: 2-Ways

This is sad to say, but my first experience eating ceviche was about six months ago when trying out a new Peruvian restaurant with a girlfriend. She ordered ceviche for the table and after having one bite, I was blown away! Why haven’t I had this before!? It seems like I was doing a disservice to my taste buds for not having it sooner!

So instead of dragging her to this restaurant to help translate that, “I need ceviche!”, I just make it at home! And you can, too! Ceviche is actually very easy to make.

The Best Gluten-Free Skillet Cornbread

During the first few weeks of quarantine, I was a baking machine. I created all the things, paleo banana nut bread, muffins, cookies, sourdough bread, you name it! It was so bad, I had to start freezing the leftovers because my fridge couldn’t handle it!

I was also creating recipes using ingredients from my pantry. Like most, I wasn’t sure if the grocery stores were going to be closed or only provide limited ingredients so I got creative in the fast! But since I’m cooking for one, having a one-pot meal goes a long way!

On a Saturday, I would spend extra time in the morning to create a nourishing meal as I would lounge around with a cup of coffee in hand. Well, since it is getting warmer here in Kentucky, I’ve been making refreshing smoothie bowls that double as my morning cup of coffee!

Carrot Cake Smoothie

Carrot cake has got to be in my top 5 of favorite cakes. From the spices of cinnamon to the crunchy textures of nuts and carrots, there is nothing that will stand in the way of me and carrot cake.

That’s why I love recipe testing with carrot cake ingredients. One of the most popular recipes on the blog are these carrot cake pancakes. The post also includes a fun waffle variation if you are team #waffles.

But this smoothie version really takes the cake! (no pun intended)

Paleo Dalgona Whipped Coffee

One of the worst parts about staying at home is not being able to visit my local coffee shop. Every Saturday, I would spend my mornings at the coffee shop as I sip away on a delicious hot beverage consisting of either a lavender London fog tea or an Americano with oat milk. So instead of dreaming about our old routines, how about we break out our barista skills and make ourselves a specialty caffeinated beverage!

So what is whipped coffee you ask? Well, to be honest, I never heard about whipped coffee until my Facebook feed exploded with this Dalgona coffee, aka “whipped coffee” that started from a TikTok video. I typically steer away from fads but the word “coffee” got my attention so I had to try it out for myself!
