Superfood Chia Chili from The Thrive Diet: Whole Foods to Thrive

Raw food still baffles me sometimes. This recipe sounded gross, but when all the ingedients were literally just thrown in a bowl and stirred together, I wound up with a totally tastey raw chili. Much lighter... read more >

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins : page 38

Classic flavours done perfectly. I've made this as muffins and as a loaf. Both were delicious.

Blueberry Lemon Muffins : page 39

These two flavours meet each other to form the perfect muffin.

Chocolate Banana Shake : page 206

Very liquidy shake. I added an extra half banana and it still wasn't thick enough. The flavour was perfect though. Next time I will cut the liquid in half.

Chocolate Chip Cookies : page 110

My favourite doughy chocolate chip cookie on the planet. I never make these anymore because I can't be trusted not to eat them all myself.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes : page 88

These were a huge hit with my friend the peanut butter lover. When mixing, I noticed the batter was coming out a little too thick so I threw maybe a quarter cup more milk in and they came out great.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting : page 230

I think the title says it all. So good. Could also be used as a kind of nutella too.

Gingerbread Cookies : page 122

I think these are the best gingerbread cookies ever. However, I have had two people comment on how molassesy they are. It's not a bad thing (especially not for me) but some people might want their gingerbread men more gingery?

Hearty Spiced Cocoa Muffins : page 45

My favourite muffins from the book. These have a little cayenne pepper in them to give it a little kick at the end.

Hot Cocoa : page 220

Most people probably don't need a recipe for this. But I did. When I went vegan I could never get the cocoa to taste as good as the milky stuff, but this recipe explains how to make it properly to get rid of the powdery taste that I wasn't liking in my hot cocoa.

Pancakes : page 68

This is now my new go-to pancake recipe. It's even fluffier than my last recipe that I've been using for two years now. I had it with cinnamon and blueberries this morning and it was perfect!

Nobody will know it's any different than the eggy stuff.

Sugar Cookies : page 119

These are sugar cookies. It's really the only recipe you'll ever need for all your sugar cookie baking needs.

Zucchini Loaf : page 60

I love how zucchini gives a beautiful moist flavour to any quickbread. Tis was a great recipe that can be used for loaves or muffins or both since it's a double recipe! Didn't have any vinegar so subbed in 2 tbsp lemon juice and a shade more baking soda. I also subbed in one of the cups of flour for whole wheat pastry flour. It still turned out very fluffy and perfect.
