Blogmas #16: Meatless Monday… Sweet Potato Cornbread Muffin

Hey my friends!

So the other day I had leftover mashed sweet potatoes. I am not a person that really enjoys eating leftovers. Don’t know why, I guess I’m just weird.

Anyhow, I wanted to do something fun with the sweet potatoes, so I thought about turning it into muffins. I then thought about how I can make sweet potatoes into muffin due to its consistency. So I them thought of making sweet potato cornbread muffins…vegan style.

Here’s what you need for mashed sweet potato:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1 tbsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp Plant based butter (loving the country crock plant based)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Here’s what you need for cornbread:

  • 1 cup Cornmeal
  • 1 cup Almond milk
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup Plant based butter melted

Boil the sweet potatoes after you peel and cut into quarters. Once cooked and after draining the water, mash the potatoes, add the milk, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whip until you get a fluffy consistency. Set aside. ..

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a separate bowl, add all the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt) and mix. Begin adding in the almond milk and melted butter. Mix well. Once you have completed mixing, begin adding in the mashed sweet potato. Mix well.

Add mixture to the muffin pan (make sure the pan is sprayed with coconut oil spray or use cupcake liners). Put the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

These muffins are great as a side dish to your Christmas dinner or perfect for Christmas brunch 😋.

Blogmas #15: Favorite Christmas Movies?

Hey my friends!

What’s your favorite Christmas movie? Are you into the classic Christmas movies? I don’t think I’ve really watched a truly classic Christmas movie. I do love watching The Sound of Music. Do you consider that a Christmas movie? It has become a holiday classic although it has absolutely nothing to do with the Christmas.

Or do you like watching Christmas comedies? One of my favorite movie to watch is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. I consider this movie to be a classic.

Or are you into those horror Christmas movies? Such as…

Or last but not least, do you prefer to watch Christmas cartoons? I’m not going to lie to you…

Every year I actually look forward to watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Now if those movies don’t scream classic Christmas, I don’t know what else does.

And I cannot forget one of my favorite Christmas movies that I can watch at any time of the year…

Who agrees with me on that?

So let me know what are some of your favorite Christmas movies? Maybe I can watch a few of them.

Until next time, night night 💋

Blogmas #14: New Year’s Eve look #1…

Hey my friends!

We’ve all been focused on prepping for Christmas, but New Year’s Eve is lurking around the corner.

Have you started preparing your look for your New Year’s Eve party? I have a few looks for you that will help you stand out in the crowd.

Today’s look is a mini sequin wrap dress and gold hoop earrings by N A Waterman “Eye Catching Jewelry” (shameless plug). If you’ve been living in a bubble then you wouldn’t know that sequins is trending right now.

Although this dress is sequins, the style keeps it casual and not formal as classic sequin dresses are known for. This definitely isn’t your pageant dress! And pairing it with gold hoops, add a fun, youthful look. I recommend wearing simple strappy nude or gold heels when wearing this material; as the dress is the showstopper.

Add the ‘Sparkle’ hoop earrings from my online boutique to complete the look. Use the code: Sparkle and save an additional 25%. This discount is exclusive to those who have read this blog. Follow my blog to get exclusive discounts and giveaways.
