Chocolate Strawberry Cookies (Vegan)

February 12, 2016May 29, 2017 Melissa King 14 Comments

Chocolate Strawberry Cookies that are vegan and gluten free. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I have one more recipe idea for you. These chocolate strawberry vegan Cookies would be PERFECT!

Don’t you think chocolate and strawberries make a fabulous combination? These yummy cookies have twice the amount of chocolate.

Not only is there a chocolate drizzle over the top, but there are also chocolate chips packed inside of each cookie. You have got to try these yummy cookies.

It took me a few attempts to make these red cookies. I originally tried using beet juice, but after the cookies baked, all the red color disappeared.

So I used freeze dried strawberries for this recipe, and they came out great! These Chocolate Strawberry Cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free. I hope you enjoy them.

Easy Cabbage Stir Fry

The other day, my husband Marcus, made a delicious meal using odds and ends from the fridge. Sometimes the best meals come out of using the leftovers! This Easy Cabbage Stir Fry was a perfect example of that. He posted a pic of the meal in my Facebook group, and a lot of people wanted the recipe. So he made it again with measurements, so I could share it with you. If you love cabbage, you will also like my Cabbage Salad and my Asian Slaw.

This meal whips up in less than 40 minutes. It’s vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly. It’s also budget friendly. If you wanted to bump up the protein, you can always serve it over quinoa.

I added some salt to the tops of mine, but that is totally an optional ingredient. Not needed, but nice if you like that sweet/salty combo. These truffles pack a punch of chocolaty flavor. There is chocolate in the inside, and outside. My chocolate loving husband gave these a thumbs up. I hope you enjoy them too.

Maple Coconut Popcorn

I made you some Maple Coconut Popcorn! Popcorn is one of my girls’ favorite snacks. Ever since we got our air popper, it’s been super easy to make too! Normally, I just make a maple cinnamon version. However, the other day, I had some leftover toasted coconut from my toasted coconut vanilla smoothie, so I added that to the mix. Wow! This Maple Coconut Popcorn came out so delicious! So good that I had to share with all of you.

My kids claim to hate coconut, but they tore this up. Not a single bit leftover. I hope you enjoy it too! If you don’t have an air popper, you can also pop this on the stove.
