Sweet potato white bean stew
Sweet potato butter bean stew with mango jalapeño salsa is the perfect spring meal. Since the weather is acting up like it always does this time of year. This light and tangy stew are just simply delish and perfectly light before the actual heavy heat comes around. Summer vacation or our winter vacation is around the corner and I am simply looking forward to some quality family time.
Blood orange waffles
Blood orange waffles couldn’t come at a better time. It’s spring pretty soon and oh my goodness I cannot wait. It’s been a pretty tough two weeks since my son’s second birthday. The notorious flue has gotten it grips on me. Hopefully it soon will pass, but for now, a crunchy stack of gluten-free waffles with these tangy blood oranges will suffice! I topped these vegan waffles with homemade coconut yogurt, bananas, coconut nectar and salted pistachio’s.
