Coconut Curry Cauliflower

April 5, 2016April 5, 2016 Melissa King 7 Comments

I love my veggies, but cauliflower has always been one that I avoided. That is, until I made this Coconut Curry Cauliflower! Coconut and curry were made for each other and the flavors go so well in this easy side dish. If you wanted to make this a complete meal, you could serve it over rice or quinoa. I also think the additions of some greens, like spinach, would be delicious. I used the full fat canned coconut cream to make this dish extra rich in flavor and texture.

This coconut curry cauliflower is super easy and only contains a small amount of ingredients. It’s vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. I hope you love it as much as we did.

Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake. Who doesn’t like chocolate and coffee together? If you love them both, then you will LOVE this chocolate coffee vegan cheesecake.

It has 3 levels of chocolate for the chocolate lover in your life. In my case, the chocolate lover is my husband and I think he is going to devour this!

If you also love chocolate and coffee, you will love my chocolate coffee overnight oats and my flourless brownie bites.

This decadent and indulgent cheesecake is completely dairy free! It’s also vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. A must make for chocolate lovers!

You can also use mini muffin tins to make individual portions. They freeze very well, so you can stash some way back in your freezer when you want a sweet treat.

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.

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.

Toasted Coconut Vanilla Smoothie

I share a lot of smoothie recipes on this site. However, I have never shared a healthy dessert smoothie. That is until now. Today I am sharing this delish and decadent Toasted Coconut Vanilla Smoothie. Toasted coconut automatically makes everything better in my opinion! This indulgent smoothie recipe makes the perfect sweet treat. If you also like toasted coconut, you may also want to try my flourless toasted coconut cookies.

This recipe makes 2 servings, so you can half it for a single serving. This dessert smoothie is vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly. It also contains zero processed sugar. I used dates to sweeten this. The toasted coconut and banana also adds a nice sweet flavor.
