Can you believe that the summer is almost done? I can. The weather here has been unbelievably chilly for this time of year. Fall is-a-comin’ and to be honest
And now that the summer is coming to an end, I am looking forward to settling back into life in Belgium with J in our cozy little apartment together. In celebration of summertime, summer nights and the sizzling summer heat (which I never seem to get enough of) I am sharing with you one of my favourite Mango Banana “ice cream” recipes. I discovered banana ‘ice cream’ at the beginning of the summertime and quickly looked forward to this ice cold & naturally sweetened treat after a long run or day in the summer heat.
This Mango Banana Coconut Ice Cream could not be easier to throw together: the nutrient-rich frozen mango and bananas are magically processed into a soft serve ice cream that could easily compete with the “real thing” without the addition of traditional addition of cream, sugar and eggs. This refreshing creamy mango and banana dream is made even creamier and tastier with the addition of light coconut milk and a splash of vanilla for good measure.
And no need to worry, this Mango Banana Coconut Ice Cream does not require an ice cream maker. I have made this dish in both the food processor and with a hand held blender – making this soft serve perfect for those who do not have space for extra kitchen appliances like ice cream machines. One taste of this Mango Banana Coconut Soft Serve and you may never buy store bought ice cream again 😉
Just make sure to eat it quickly or else you might end up with a Mango Banana Coconut milkshake – no complaints here 😉
Spicy Bean Soup because this time of year CALLS for easy, simple and hearty comforting meals that come together in a PINCH. I mean homemade soup in only 20 minutes (you read that right) – count me in.
TGIF friends!! Who else is happy the weekend is HEEEEERE!?! What a silly question! Let’s celebrate with some super, quick + easy Vegetarian Broken Spaghetti Risotto 🙂 This weekend, J and I are headed back to where we met in Lille, France.

OH my word, friends. This Healthy Vegan Carrot Carrot Cake Loaf is one to remember! This might just be my new favorite quick bread. Moist, soft and flavorful vegan carrot cake topped off with a thick layer of Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. Let’s just say this Vegan Carrot Cake did not stand a chance around…
I have a new favorite salad, guys. Oh my gosh, this Roasted Potato Pesto Salad is full of SO much flavor. The taste and textures in this salad are out of this world from the crunchy walnuts, soft roasted potatoes and creamy basil pesto! What’s your favorite Summer BBQ side? I’ve always looooooooooved potato salad….
I’ve been on the hunt for the the perfect Vegan Chocolate Chunk Cookies for awhile. And I have very high expectations with cookies. The perfect Chocolate Chunk Cookie for me is soft and thick in the middle and perfectly chewy around the edges. Not too greasy (can we all agree that greasy chocolate chunk cookies are…
