Soft, Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

-
I've finally done it. I have perfected my oatmeal raisin cookie recipe.
I've been tinkering around with a few different recipes for a while now, but they were always too sweet, or too dry.

 After a combination of a few different recipes, I think I have finally come up with the perfect recipe.
They're not too sugary, they're satisfying, soft and tasty.












 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of flour (I used wheat for these)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/2 cup of margarine or coconut oil 
  • 3/4 cup of cane sugar
  • 1 flax egg (1tbsp flax seed, 3 tbsp water. Soak about 15m)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup raisins 
Directions: 
Mix all the ingredients together well, form into small balls and press down lightly on a greased tray. 
Bake at 350 Degrees for about 10-12 minutes

Easy n' Fluffy Vegan Pancakes - Oil free

My great grandma used to make the best pancakes, and my mom used to make them for us when I was growing up too. It was definitely a staple recipe in our family, and no matter how hard I tried to find a vegan recipe for pancakes, it never quite measured up to her pancakes. They made it with eggs and milk, so i figured i would try to switch these out with easy vegan alternatives, and honestly, I kinda like it better this way cause I don't feel guilty when I eat it, and they taste just as amazing! Just, in a different way. Almost everything in there is good for me and by using chia egg instead of the eggs, I am adding so much more nutrients.  They have barley any sugar, and I tested them out with whole wheat flour and they are so. good. Servings: 4 medium pancakes Ingredients: 1 1/3 cup flour (I used whole wheat for the ones in the picture) 2 tbsp sugar (I use cane for everything) 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds and 3 tbsp water, soak f...

All Natural Essential Oil Perfume

The reason I use this essential oil of perfume is to avoid any "fragrance". Also, oils have different positive health effects as well. The term "fragrance" is an umbrella term which basically means "thousands of carcinogenic chemicals that we do not legally have to tell you about." It is so important to avoid this as much as possible, especially with beauty products since your skin is your largest organ, and it only takes thirty seconds for chemicals to enter your blood stream. Not to mention spraying perfume makes you inhale these chemicals as well. When choosing your essential oil brand, it is also important to choose a brand that has "pure therapeutic grade" oils. This basically ensures that your oils are all natural and yield many beneficial results. The three brands that I and many other people trust is Dōterra, Young Living and Sage essential oils. It is very important to note that you have to be very wary when choosing an essential o...

Savory lentil soup

This recipe is amazing because its so easy, you can change up the ingredients to include whatever you want, and it requires hardly any measurements so you can just grab a bunch of stuff, throw it in the pot and cook it. So simple, so satisfying, and so healthy! I used to eat an industrial amount of ramen noodles, until I realized they had a crazy amount of harmful chemicals, many of which have been proven to be highly carcinogenic. I knew I needed to find something else that was healthier, but just as salty and satisfying. Now, with this recipe, I satisfy my craving AND i'm getting so many beneficial nutrients. Since this recipe is so flexible, I will give a list of the must haves, and then all of the optional ingredients. You can mix and match the optional ones and just put in whatever sounds good to you! Must have's: 4-6 cups of vegetable broth (depending how broth-y you like your soup). 2-3 tbsp of soy sauce (I use low sodium) 2/3 cup to 1 cup of Lentils 2...
