Oats Walnut Date Balls ~ Oats Walnut Date Laddu

Festivals are all about enjoying savory snacks, sweets and  spending holidays with dear and close people.For this year Sankranthi my cousins came over to my place and we celebrated festival with healthy and authentic homemade food, a feel good movie, nostalgic memories of festival in our childhood  and had loads of fun. I made Beetroot pulihora and oats walnut date balls for Bhogi day ( the first day of 3 day celebrations).

Persimmon Pudding

Raw Persimmon Pudding – Vegan

When I first came to US, one of my friends introduced me to this fiber rich persimmon and I liked them very much. From then on I never miss enjoying them in every fall season. I bought persimmons from Costco last week to have it like regular fruit. When I opened to check them, they were mushy and very ripe, but I like them firm and ripe. So I searched for very ripe persimmon recipes from which I got this simple, raw, vegan dessert recipe. Most of the raw persimmon pudding recipes included ripe banana, which I didn’t use here.

Vegan Whole Wheat Walnut Dates Cake – Sugarless

I have a strong craving for sweets and I often control myself by keeping sugar free for couple of months. This time, I wanted to follow sugar free vegan diet but the craving for sweet could not be controlled and came up with this vegan whole wheat walnut dates cake. I know dates and honey are not sugar free but at least they contain natural sugars and some minor minerals. By now you know my love for whole grains over refined flours or rice, so I tried this recipe with whole wheat flour rather than all purpose flour and it came out very good.
