Going Vegan: Reasons To Make Vegan Foods Part Of Your Life

September 20, 2019 by HealthyLittleVittles

The vegan life is one that is gradually becoming more popular over time, and for numerous reasons, ranging from benefits on our health, to helping our enviornment. Before making a decision to cross over to the vegan lifestyle, it would be very wise to have your facts on it so you can fully and truly adopt the lifestyle effortlessly. Now, while I create vegan recipes, I don't claim to be 100% vegan. I still eat seafood and eggs on occassion (rare, but I do) and I do consume honey. While this article is meant to help educate you on the vegan lifestyle, I try not to put hard labels on my diet because in the end, mental health matters too. I will however say that if we all adopted a more vegan lifestyle, I believe we can experience benefits both from an individual

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.
