Shiitake Kale and Plum Sushi

September 12, 2019 by HealthyLittleVittles

A savory plant-based sushi recipe combines marinated shiitake mushrooms with sautéed kale and slices of plum for a hint of sweetness then dipped in a homemade plum dipping sauce!

My sushi consumption lately has been through the roof, and I’m diggin’ it y’all! Contrary to how it looks, sushi is actually a very easy meal to make. My two-and-a-half year old son even loves it (go figure), so that makes it an extra easy dinner decision, at least to satisfy the fleeting toddler’s tastebuds. I find the sushi combinations to be endless- even as you step into vegan sushi.

Since we eat with our eyes first, this Shiitake Kale and Plum Sushi recipe will trick even the rawest sushi lovers with that tuna-looking plum, and once they taste it, they will undeniably fall in love with this plant-based alternative. And if you’re already on team veggie sushi, well this roll will not disappoint!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

September 3, 2019 by HealthyLittleVittles

A delicious and healthy seven ingredient, ten minute chocolate chip cookie dough that is vegan, gluten-free, naturally sweetened, safe to eat raw, and made from chickpeas! I remember years back I tried cookie dough made from chickpeas and I was definitely underwhelmed. I'm not sure if I just didn't try a great recipe, or if my taste buds have drastically changed since then, or maybe my love for chickpeas has just grown that much. Perhaps all the above. I thought it was about time to revisit this splendid idea of making edible raw cookie dough from my favorite legume.

So when I was deciding on what recipe to create I went back and forth with a few different ideas. Should I make a

It's like the king of all grilled cheeses- I mean, we're talking high class here, people.

Friends, I am super excited about this post... a couple of firsts for me happening here: first time rolling sushi inside out and first time coloring my rice with Purple Sweet Potato Supercolor Powder from Suncore Foods! Side note: did y'all know about purple sweet potatoes? Like- I just discovered them last year... and that makes me a little salty because I'm a lover of all things purple, especially foods and I feel like I've been missing out! Admittedly, I like the taste of spicy tuna sushi, but the thought of eating raw tuna, for me,

Ok, so raise your hand if admittedly you're one of the hundreds (maybe even thousands) of people who skip lunch these days... I'll wait... I know, it's all too easy, isn't it? Today distractions are everywhere, whether we're on social media during lunch, or reading the news, or working while we eat (of making sure out little babies get fed first). A lot of the time convenience trumps nutrition, and as a mom and small business owner I get it, but here at Healthy Little Vittles I try to show that it doesn't have to be that way! It's so
