I am not chef nor am I an aspiring food blogger. I cook because it is a necessity for me and my family. Honestly, I don’t like spending time in the kitchen. I am an artist/graphic designer I would rather put my energies elsewhere. But I do enjoy eating the dishes I make and ever since I turned plantbased, mostly prefer them to restaurant food tastewise. It is not even about nutrition or cost anymore but the taste. It’s amazing considering early in our marriage my husband and I would eat out as much as 4 times as week!
So what do I blog about when I am not a cook? I will post about nutritional nuggets and recipes I have experimented with. The latest of the latter was this chocolate banana cake which I thought was an inspired idea.
Here are the ingredients I used and the link of the recipe where it was inspired from:
3 very ripe bananas (fresh or thawed from frozen)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup corn starch
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
adapted from this recipe (This is the best vegan banana bread I have tried):

While this is a healthy vegan recipe the next time I will make this, I will replace brown sugar with date paste.
Yours In Health,
