30 Minute Plantain Breakfast Hash with Runny Eggs

By

Happy Monday, friends! Let's start our day off with a little plantain breakfast hash, shall we? Okay, the total time it takes to make this plantain breakfast hash is 30 minutes...so it may be a little lengthy for your Monday morning! BUT I love to make it Sunday morning and then have a few days of leftovers. For the leftovers we simply cook a few fried eggs up and heat the leftover plantain breakfast hash in the microwave. That's my kind of meal prep...if you can call it that! My first … [Read more...]

Red Wine Brownies with wine “Buttercream” Frosting

By

Red wine brownies, you say???!!! Oh yes, I went there!!! One of my fave flavor combos is to enjoy a little dark chocolate with some red wine, anyone else?!

AKA my healthier vegan "buttercream" frosting with a little reduced Merlot stirred in. So insanely yum! Just try to not lick the bowl clean before you frost the brownies. Now that's a … [Read more...]
