If you don't have an oven, or you are too lazy to use the oven, you're in the right place. This stovetop granola only requires 1 pan, a stirring utensil and 6 simple ingredients -- that's it.
I created for you all a Valentine's Day Pink Pitaya Waffle recipe that you all are going to LOVE -- not just cause they are delicious, but come on, how cute are they? AND not only is this perfect for the holiday, it is perfect for kids, too!
As some of you may know from my Instagram and YouTube, I have recently had a problem with my external hard drive. Well, I should say currently, because the issue is it yet resolved :/
Anyways, I am telling you this because this Pink Pitaya Waffle recipe would not have been born had that not happened. Two weeks ago I shot an oil free fudge recipe to be shared today in time for Valentine's Day (it will still be released at some point, I promise), and I was so pumped to do so. Since the files from that shoot and video are not accessible at the moment, I decided to create another recipe for you because with the and possibility that I recover my data (crossing my fingers and toes), why not cook up a brand new recipe?
So everything happens for a reason right? Scratch that. Everything happens for waffles, right?
The absolute perfect way to enjoy your Sunday brunch? Bagels and lox, of course. This carrot lox will actually blow your mind, and you will not miss out on anything, I promise. Chris and I have served this to many MANY nonvegans, and vegans as well, and it was a hit all around. 
My favorite item at Sunday brunch growing up -- french toast! Not only does this recipe no longer require eggs, it does not have to be fried, either. Want to know my secret to the PERFECT low fat vegan french toast? BANANAS!
This past weekend, Chris and I took an impromptu trip to Big Bear, CA to spend the Fourth of July weekend with my family and enjoy the festivities held at the lake. My mom surprised us with homemade bread on Saturday morning and Chris had a brilliant idea -- let's make french toast!
Crunchy, chunky AND oil-free? Could this be true?
I needed to find an easy go-to granola recipe that I could start making weekly for my home, as I started making smoothie bowls almost daily that the temperature has shot up here in LA! My combos vary based on what I have in the kitchen, but I got my hands on some frozen pitaya packs, and a frequent recipe lately has been this Cacao Pitaya Protein Smoothie Bowl (below), and you can find that full recipe here.
An easy, no-fuss recipe that is filling, comforting, and does not skimp on flavor one bit. I was actually very surprised by how fluffy these pancakes turned out to be, considering I did not use any baking soda. I have been seeing oat-banana-nut-milk pancakes all over Instagram and I finally had to try my hand at it + the fancy food styling that always comes along with it as well ;)
The day I made these in the kitchen was also a day where Chris and I worked on 2 other recipes, his Epic Thanksgiving Leftovers Pizza and his Easy to Make Potato Leek Soup in Sourdough Bread Bowls as shown in the recipe video I put together for this (below). My favorite out of them had to be his bread bowl soup ;P
