Vanilla Millet Porridge With Fruit & Seeds

The real reason I quit dairy was because I saw the proof on paper: I took an allergy test. Albeit, it should probably be called an “intolerance” test because it shows you on a scale from 0-6 how intolerant you are to over 500 foods. Being intolerant to a certain food doesn’t mean you are […]

3 Ingredient Mango Chia Seed Pudding

I know, I know. I already did a chia seed pudding recipe. But, but, it is just that good! Especially for a non-dairy eater…like me. It’s sad but true. I gave up dairy for real this time (well, let’s say 90% of the time). The milk industry lied to me all those years. Milk products […]

I’m usually not one to discriminate against any dessert (ok maybe the coffee ones) but for some reason, really sweet things are losing their […]
