16 year old Australian, striving for success toward becoming a healthier, fitter and ultimately slimmer person.
Always ask me stuff, I'm great with advice or even if you just want a chat, I promise I don't bite unless there's sushi involved.

Raw Zucchini Sushi RollsFrom For the Love of Food
4 servings
1/2 cup cashews, soaked overnight
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
3 - 4 zucchini (each yields 6 - 8 slices)
2 carrots, sliced into matchsticks
1 cucumber, seeds removed and sliced into matchsticks
4 medium radishes, sliced
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
1 small bunch cilantro
Drain cashews and put into food processor with rice vinegar. (Depending on how long cashews were soaked you might need to add a tablespoon of water to get the right consistency.) Process, scraping sides with spatula if necessary, until cashews are a soft paste but still have some texture.
Chop the ends off of your zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to peel your zucchini into long thin strips. Lay zucchini strip flat and add a small spoonful of cashew mixture onto one of the ends of zucchini. Add a few matchsticks of veggies, avocado, and a couple of pieces of cilantro. Roll up and enjoy!ohmygod this is so pretty im gonna try it tomorrow

These look great! Just put the recipe into WW-only 3 points each!
If you make this, you don’t really need that much honey.. it comes out incredibly sweet. I say you should add honey to taste. :)

Ultimate Fudge Brownies
(Makes 8 vegan brownies)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup ww pastry flour (or white, or you can try spelt or gluten-free)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sweetener (see link, below, for lower-sugar version)
- 1.5 oz soft tofu or mori-nu firm or lite firm (about 1/8 box)
- 1/3 cup applesauce (use only 1/4 cup if using 3T oil)
- 1 to 3 T oil (I use coconut oil. Canola is ok too.)
- 2 T non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional: you can throw in some chocolate chips

Sweetener notes:
- For a lower-sugar version, you can add 1 tsp Nunaturals stevia and then cut sweetener to 1/3 cup (or even to 1/4 cup, if you only want a subtly-sweet brownie) . Or you can experiment with a higher ratio of stevia-to-sugar if you like stevia-sweetened baked goods.
- If you wish to use liquid sweetener (such as agave or maple syrup), scale the applesauce back to 1/4 cup (and be aware that your brownies will be a little bit denser).
- Angry Munchkins: I like very dark, bitter chocolate. So when I make these for myself, I add only 3 T sugar and no stevia. My friends make fun of my version and say it tastes extremely dark and bitter… like the brownies are angry!
**Remember: these brownies will taste so much sweeter if you let them sit for at least an hour before trying them. I’m really not sure why this is the case!**
Hell yeah health!: Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies.
When I’m bored, I bake. When I’m not bored, I bake. When I’m procrastinating heavily and trying to avoid the art coursework that’s shouting at me, I bake.
Basically, I bake a lot. It’s one of the view things I actually ~love to do. Another thing I love doing is eating. I ate two of these…

Clean Eating Quinoa Pancakes
(Makes 4 pancakes)Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg whites
Directions
Step 1 – In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, eggs and egg whites. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 2 – Mist a non-stick pan with oil and cook as you would any pancake. Do NOT cook these on high heat. The outsides will burn and the insides will still be raw. Use medium heat and cook for a little longer until golden brown.
Step 3 – Top with any clean topping such as fruit, honey or maple syrup.
NOTE: Do not cook these on high heat. Lower the heat and cook them for longer otherwise you’ll end up with a pancake that is burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.By The Gracious Pantry
