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 #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.

Blogmas #13: Fashion Friday

Hey my friends!

So it’s officially 12 days until Christmas. Do you have your outfit(s) already picked out? Are you keeping it casual, are you glamming it up or are you somewhere in between?

I personally fit in the in between category. I don’t want to be super casual because it is the holidays and I will be taking pics. On the other hand, I don’t want to be super glamorous because I am spending time at my family’s house. I don’t want to look like I’m in a family photoshoot ad.

I am so into the faux fur and/or teddy bear sweaters. I think the perfect Christmas outfit for those of us that live in the cold climate, is a white faux fur turtleneck sweater and faux leather leggings.

Pair this outfit with a red lip and you’re good to go 💋

If you’re not the type to wear faux leather leggings, then you can’t go wrong with a good ole sweater dress. I paired this dress with a black ankle boot with block heels for comfort. If this red dress doesn’t scream Christmas, I don’t know what else does.

These are just two outfit ideas that I think will look fabulous for Christmas dinner. But whatever you choose to wear, make a statement.

Until tomorrow, night night 💋
