Hearty Vanilla Rice Pudding
In today's live stream, I have cooked a hearty vanilla rice pudding with raisins, nuts, and blueberries. It is the kind of comfort food I crave on snowy days like today. Feel free to watch the live stream again.
As usual, all dishes I feature on my live stream are whole food plant-based and oil-free.
This dish is usually cooked with round grain rice, but I borrowed inspiration from India. They cook rice pudding with whole grain rice, cardamom, and saffron.
However, I wanted to preserve e some features of this rice pudding from the memories I had when my mom cooked us rice pudding.
She would cook it with round grain rice, milk, and cinnamon and would later top it with mandarin oranges from a can. Soooo delicious, but loaded with sugars.
Recipe:
1 cup whole grain rice, Basmati
2 cups of water
2 cup almond milk, more if needed
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup assorted raisins, cranberries, and nuts
1 cup frozen blueberries
Juice from one lemon

Vegan Zucchini Pancakes with Tomato Basil Sour-Cream | Oil-Free
When it comes to breakfast options, these vegan zucchini pancakes are a refreshing alternative to oatmeals or avocado toasts.
They are easy to cook and very satisfying. Zucchini pancakes also work great as a snack or small lunch option. As usual, this recipe is made with whole food plant-based ingredients and is oil-free.
However, if you want to lose weight I recommend not using the "sour cream" and rather use a vegetable stew instead. Since the "sour-cream " is made with cashews, which have a lot of fat. By the way, talking about a tomato basil sour cream, this dish fits perfectly as a condiment to the spelt pizza I cooked the other day.
If the oil-free option freaks you out, I don't blame you. It takes some practice to cook without oil. That said, if you have the right tools, it becomes much easier.
I prepared these vegan zucchini pancakes in my weekly Live Stream which you can watch on Facebook as well as on YouTube

Welcome to Eat like a Vegan Chef! Hi, I'm Chef Frank. For years I have been helping people overcoming unhealthy eating habits by adopting a whole food plant based lifestyle, to achieve ultimate health and weight loss. I have been fortunate enough to have cooked in many places in the world and had incredible experiences doing what I love. However, all my life I have chased the purpose of life until I transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle. It had such a huge impact on me and my community, simply through living by example. Even vegans around me became curious about the food I would cook and eat. The impact was and still is two-fold: I get to make a difference in people's health and collectively as a group when it comes to sustainability and animal lives. People around me would start eating more vegetables and fewer animal foods. They would drop significant weight and felt better than ever before. That’s when I knew my calling as a chef. My sincere hope is to inspire you even if it is just an ounce of pure plant-based wholesomeness. Feel free to connect with me through Social Media or email.
