Protein Chocolate Chips61I threw together a random recipe for breakfast, and it was too good for me not to blog about. So what did I do? I made it again for lunch so that I could share it with all of you ;) This recipe only requires a few ingredients, and is actually good for you, as opposed to the dairy, fat-filled, cruelty-filled ice cream at the supermarket. I listed this recipe as a dessert, but it is high carb, low fat, and mostly raw, so I say eat this whenever the heck you want. Really, do it!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts w: Orange Maple Glaze and Thyme Roasted Cranberries One thing that I dislike about the holidays is all the stress I come under when it comes down to the cooking. I always try to plan ahead but, well, things don't always go as planned. I decided that this year I would make simple, easy vegetable dishes that I could share with those of you in the same shoes. Roasted Brussels Sprouts w: Orange Maple Glaze and Thyme Roasted Cranberries Brussels sprouts always get a bad rep for being stinky and bitter, but that's because your mamas were cooking them wrong for you as a kid. This recipe will make you appreciate these little gems and hopefully share them with your family during the holidays.

Cocoa Cherry Protein Holiday Fudge (Gluten-free) My next recipe for this Holiday season, a Cocoa Cherry Holiday Fudge that is gluten-free AND packed with plant-based protein! So far, I have shared my Healthy Gingerbread Smoothie (low-fat) and my Easy Vegan Holiday Chocolate Bark, with a few more up my sleeve these next 5 days! Fudge has been an integral part of my family's Christmas celebrations ever since I can remember. My mom's friend Kathy makes a fudge that my dad absolutely cannot resist, but ever since I went vegan and my family has been more mindful of our diet, he knows that her fudge is not what he should be eating. He asked if I could make a protein packed vegan fudge recipe, so I played around in the kitchen and came up with this.
