Cardamon infused black rice breakfast pudding because I was really feeling myself this morning
I used:
¾ cup black rice
½ tsp + ½ tsp cardamom
1 ½ cup boiling water
½ cup rice milk
3 tbsp sweetener
½ cup blueberries

Place rice in a pot, add ½ tsp of cardamom (or two cardamom pods) and pour boiling water over it. Leave it like this for a night.

In the morning add ½ cup rice milk, sweetener, and more cardamom, cover and bring to boil over a medium heat. Uncover, decrease the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring from time to time, you want it to be tender. Then add blueberries and cook for one more minute and there you go you have a stylish breakfast my friend

Ya girl is back ❤️ Lately I’ve been so immersed in my internship, work, and my university course load, which would be wonderful… if I wasn’t neglecting creativity and little outlets like this blog that fill me with light ✨Striving for balance and to not hold myself to such unrealistic standards ❤️ Thank you for supporting this platform

Today’s ‘idk just eat it’ lunch bowl-I might have overdone it on the protein a bit here with the edamame, tofu, black rice and peanut dressing but hey let’s just embrace it ✨ 

Back to uni and saying goodbye to summer Not complaining though at least I can use the cold weather as an excuse to drink more hot chocolate plus I’m a low key nerd
This hot chocolate was made with cacao powder, coconut milk, whipped coconut cream and a dash of maple syrup (which I should really stop buying )

Pancake time
These lil babies are so fluffy , wholesome, tender, slightly nutty, perfectly sweet& super easy to make! I used 90g oat flour, 120ml almond milk, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp tapioca starch, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp coconut oil and 3 tbsp maple syrup and served with blueberries and sweetened coconut cream Yay for appetising vegan food!!!

Beetroot and carrot soup
Just cook 1 onion, 2 carrots and 3 celery stalks (all chopped) in some olive oil, add 4 chopped beetroots, 500g chopped potatoes, 1 bouquet garni, 4 cups vegetable stock and 1 cup cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer, partially covered for 1 hour until the beetroot is tenderserved mine with roasted chickpeas, chives, and coconut cream and this cost me less than $1 per serving yay
