June 16, 2014May 20, 2018 Melissa King 109 Comments

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. The other day, my in-laws gave us a bunch of zucchini from their neighbor’s garden. I have been wanting to make some healthy zucchini muffins for a while.

So I set out to make some muffins. My vegan zucchini muffins are not only vegan, but they are gluten free as well.

If you like muffins, you may also like my Banana Blueberry Muffins or my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

These muffins not only pack a hidden serving of veggies for the kids, but they are also oil free as well. This recipe is very easy to make and freezes well too.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

June 11, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 71 Comments

The warm weather is here and I am cranking out new ice cream recipes. This cherry chocolate chip ice cream recipe is my latest one. I just love cherries. So when my husband brought a bunch home the other day, I knew I wanted to make cherry ice cream. Of course I had to make mine cherry chocolate chip ice cream, because chocolate always makes everything better! Am I right? I love having an ice cream maker. It is so worth the money when you think about the price of organic, dairy free and gluten free store bought ice cream. You can make your own ice cream recipes for so much cheaper with just a handful of ingredients.

This cherry chocolate chip ice cream is dairy free, vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly. It only takes 4 simple ingredients to make it. I love 4 ingredient recipes. I really think you could omit the sweetener all together in this if you happen to have some really sweet cherries. You will need to pit the cherries, which can be a messy job unless you have a cherry pit remover. Love mine!

Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Vegan)

I am a big fan of homemade ice cream. This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is the bomb! This mint chocolate chip ice cream is also dairy free, gluten free and vegan. This peppermint chocolate chip ice cream recipe is even paleo approved.

It’s also creamy delicious. I highly recommend getting an ice cream maker if your budget allows. It pretty much pays for itself after a few batches. Have you priced organic, healthy ice cream lately? Way too expensive for me. That is why I make my own ice cream recipes.

I make my mint peppermint ice cream recipe with coconut milk. For those of you that hate coconut, don’t worry. You can’t taste it in this at all! All you taste in the mint and little bites of chocolate chips.

The best part about this ice cream is that it only has 4 simple ingredients! Super simple.

Mixed Berry Waffles

Homemade waffles are a staple at our house. My kids love them. I always make a big batch and freeze them. That way, they are really no different than the frozen waffles in a box. They are different in one way. My homemade waffles contain no refined sugars, no refined flours and no other strange ingredients. These Mixed Berry Waffles are perfect for spring. My kids just love fresh berries, so I knew these would be a hit. I was excited to test out my new waffle maker too. I was happy that it could make 2 waffles at at time!

These mixed berry waffles are gluten free and vegan. 🙂 My kids just loved them and I hope you do as well.

Mixed Berry Parfait (Vegan Gluten Free)

This Mixed Berry Parfait is out of this world. I have been wanting to do a parfait for a while now. Who doesn’t like a parfait?

Creamy and delicious with juicy berries in every bite. Since we are in the midst of spring, I felt a mixed berry parfait was in order.

Omg you guys! This berry parfait was out of this world good. If you like desserts with berries, you may also like my strawberry creme truffles or my strawberry tart.

Food photography can be tough sometimes. Here I thought I was putting everything in so carefully, but it still didn’t come out with the beautiful layers. Live and learn I guess.

I promise you that this mixed berry parfait is delicious! I made the nuts ahead of time. If you don’t like pecans, you can probably use another nut in it’s place.

The vanilla bean cream is to die for! I felt that it really didn’t need any sweetener. The vanilla beans give it a hint of sweetness. Also, if you are not a fan of coconut milk, you can probably use heavy whipping cream in place of it.

Here is a quick video on how to make the coconut whip cream. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

Hooray for Strawberry Mousse! Especially when it’s made healthier. I am so glad that spring is here. That means the price of berries becomes more affordable. So I have been making all kinds of treats with strawberries.

My most recent strawberry recipe, my strawberry truffles, quickly became one of my most pinned recipes. I am hoping you will enjoy this healthy mousse recipe as well.

The coconut and strawberry flavors go so well together. I also have a yummy strawberry ice cream and a grain free strawberry tart.

It only takes 3 ingredients to make this delicious strawberry mousse that is perfect for spring! This mouse is not only easy to make, it’s also vegan, gluten free and paleo. Enjoy!
