    I don't think there's a person in this world that doesn't like pizza! It's one of those meals that's a definite crowd-pleaser. The topping options are endless, and when making your own, you can add as much or as little as you wish.

    Making homemade pizza is easy, simple, and in my opinion, the best way to do pizza! Mainly because you can load up on the best part, the toppings! Plus, by making your own, you know exactly what's in the crust and sauce and where your produce or meat came from.

    In our house, this Buffalo Chickpea Pizza is made on repeat! I love it because I can indulge without feeling heavy, crampy and bloated, much like a regular cheesy, glutenous pizza would cause me to feel. This pizza is not only gluten-free but grain-free, dairy-free and vegan! It's loaded with nutritious toppings, packed with flavour and features a dreamy garlic sauce that makes you forget cheese ever even existed. Not to mention, the flatbread crust is to die for!

    THIS RECIPE IS...


    • Vegan
    • Gluten-Free
    • Grain-Free
    • A Great Source of Fibre
    • Versatile

    Instructions
     

    Flatbread

    • Preheat oven to 350°
    • Line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper
    • Mix dry ingredients together.
    • Slowly stir in water until the mixture becomes the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
    • Spread evenly on baking sheet
    • Bake for 15 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven and set aside.

    Roasted Buffalo Chickpeas

    • Preheat oven to 350°
    • Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
    • In a bowl, combine chickpeas, oil, salt and spices. Mix well, making sure the chickpeas are evenly coated.
    • Pour the chickpeas onto the baking sheet and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven and set aside.

    Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower

    • Preheat oven to 350°
    • Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
    • In a bowl, combine cauliflower florets, oil, salt and spices. Mix well, making sure the cauliflower florets are evenly coated.
    • Pour the cauliflower onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 - 15 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven and set aside.

    Creamy Garlic Sauce

    • Soak cashews overnight or in hot water for at least 20 minutes.
    • While cashews are soaking, heat oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low.
    • Cook until garlic begins to brown.
    • Drain and rinse cashews.
    • Add Cashews, oil and garlic mixture, along with the salt and water to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

    Pizza

    • Preheat oven to 350°
    • Coat the flatbread crust with a generous amount of garlic cream sauce (I usually use about half of what the recipe makes and save the other half for dipping!).
    • Add the rest of the toppings, adding as much as you like (or as much that fits).
    • Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to brown.

    Notes

    This pizza is also delicious baked on the BBQ!

Thanks to the warming notes of cinnamon and allspice, it's great for those chilly mornings. However, it’s the rich vanilla flavour that makes it so irresistible!

Especially when using @javasistersvanilla Vanilla Extract. It comes with the bean in, which gives it a stronger, more robust flavour, almost like you are using the bean itself! So. Dang. Delicious 👏

Add some extra lavishness and warmth to your smoothie by topping it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and you will be in heaven ✨

    2022, it's been a slice ✌️ As each year bring 2022, it's been a slice ✌️

As each year brings, 2022 brought many moments to be grateful for, a few new skills and lots of growth through both the struggles and triumphs. 2022, for me, was truly a year of tuning out to tune in. And I’m so excited to see what this next chapter brings.

Cheers to an even better 2023! 🥂

Happy New Year, wild ones ♡
    What’s your must-have holiday cookie? For me, b What’s your must-have holiday cookie?

For me, being a sucker for those warming spices, Gingerbread is at the top of that list. A close second to my Gran’s shortbread (which I still have yet to master a healthified version 🤞).

But, at least for now, I can count on these crunchy gingerbread cookies to satisfy my festive cravings.

Traditionally spiced with just the right amount of crunch, they taste just like the real deal. But, without the refined sugar, gluten and dairy ⛄️
