FOOD!


I never had morning sickness (thank goodness) or a trillion cravings, but lately I am wanting to try cooking or baking things that seem extremely appealing. If you didn't know, we have changed our eating habits to vegan. Javy has been more strict in following this way of eating than me but I am getting there. I once thought, "what in the world can I eat now other than green stuff?" Fortunately, I have found many vegan recipes and trust me they all taste ridiculously delicious! If you ever were my roommate you know the kitchen and I never had a tight bond. But those days are long gone! Last night I made a berry cake extremely easy to make.
1 and 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar (I use 1 teaspoon of stevia)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup oil
1 and 1/4 cups vanilla soy milk
Zest of one lime
1/2 bag of frozen berries

Preheat the oven to 375 °F.

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Zest the lime into the dry ingredients, making sure not to get any pith (the white part under the zest)

Add the oil & soy milk and fold gently to combine. Add the frozen berries, and barely combine.

We accompanied the cake with dairy free vanilla ice cream and trust me I felt as though I were in heaven the whole time I was munching my piece of cake. At least this form of cake doesn't add pounds to my already prego body! yay :)
