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

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
