Cobbler is one of the few desserts that manages to be an effortlessly simple comfort food as well as a dish worth serving when you have guests over. Short on time? Short on supplies and bowls and fancy ingredients? You can still whip together something warm and hearty with some fruit, flour, and milk. It […]
This is a bold claim to make. But Baariki truly believes this pasta is the greenest pasta you will ever eat. It features a creamy pesto sauce made with (surprise!) avocado and peas as its base, and lots of basil for flavor. You can add some vegetarian Parmesan cheese on top if you’d like, but […]
On days you don’t have the time or energy to spend an hour making lunch, this recipe is a lifesaver. These zucchini patties are so quick and easy to assemble, and they come out of the oven ready to eat. They can be served with sour cream or ketchup for a light main course or […]
Mint chocolate chip is one of my favorite ice cream flavors, so this recipe was simply mint to be. My four-ingredient ice cream is bursting with fresh mint flavor. The secret is steeping your mint leaves in warm milk — it beats any extract. My favorite thing about this homemade ice cream is that it’s […]
For most of her life, Baariki was not a fan of mangoes. But a few months ago she finally jumped on the bandwagon and insisted we recreate one of her few good memories of them: mango pineapple orange juice. The resulting drink features sweet mango flavor with a tart pineappley underside and almost-hidden oranges. Honestly, […]
We all know those recipes that claim to need two or three ingredients but actually use ten. But this is not a drill: there are exactly three ingredients in this creamy mango ice cream. For best results, be sure to pick out sweet mangoes that aren’t fibrous. You don’t even need an ice cream maker, […]
French recipes love all-purpose flour, but this whole wheat version is just as good. We like to make these whole wheat crepes for birthday breakfasts. They can be made lightly sweet or savory, and can be filled with just about anything you want. The batter comes together in minutes with a blender and can be […]
Crispy, cheesy, undeniable. Once I perfected the recipe for this easy way to eat zucchini, I immediately ate half a baking sheet on my own. They are seriously THAT addictive. I suspect I could eat the entire batch for lunch if my sister and impulse control didn’t try to stop me. This zucchini recipe is […]
As fancy as it sounds, a clafoutis is pretty much a French cobbler. And in my house, we love cobbler for its simplicity and tastiness. The recipe is made even easier by using a blender and even prettier with all the fresh fruit peeking through! Dust with powdered sugar if you like. This recipe was […]
This recipe came about because I had one (1) avocado that was just a little too ripe and I didn’t want to make guacamole again. A friend suggested I make a smoothie out of it. While I was skeptical at first, it turns out that avocados make an extremely creamy smoothie base. And they’re mild […]
Hi! I’m Andaaza. I bake vegetarian and vegan sides and desserts — lots of desserts — from scratch, and I try to be mostly healthy while I do it. Sometimes my sister Baariki helps. So glad you’re here!
