Healthyish Chocolate Brownies

We are often skeptical about ‘healthy’ versions of recipes because most often we just want the real thing in all its calorific glory (calories aren’t always the devil). However, sometimes we are pleasantly surprised when something healthier still tastes great. These were a little experiment to see if we could create some brownies that were a little less packed with sugar but still tasted really, really good. And they did!So these are our slightly healthier than normal brownies… that still become unhealthy if you eat 10.Visit Food_for_Daise to see more of our recipes and food inspiration!

5-Ingredient Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse

September 2nd was National Coconut Day...and you can bet I celebrated!Do you like coconut? It’s one of my favorite foods, and I enjoy it in so many forms.I had a can of coconut cream in my refrigerator that I’d been waiting to use, and now I had my chance. So I cracked it open and made this ridiculously easy 5-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse. You literally dump all of the ingredients in a bowl, blend for a couple of minutes, and put in the refrigerator. I did it in between bouts of caring for my 5-month-old. And five minutes is about all I had. My husband, who isn't typically a mousse fan ate his fair share (and then some), and heartily approved. and on top of everything, you would never guess that this wasn't the real thing.And on top of it all it's arguably a little better for you than the normal cream option...especially if you use the raw cacao (a superfood!).Be sure to tag me on IG (@bellesdirtydishes) when you make this--I can't wait to hear what you think!

Sweet Potato Quinoa Patties

These Sweet Potato Quinoa Patties with Jalapeño Lime Ranch are delicious AND nutritious! Plus, I’ve added some optional substitutions to make the patties dairy free, gluten free, and vegan.These patties are easy to put together, and have a slight crunch on the outside. I’m always a fan of some crunch! Of course you could top it with a different sauce, especially if you’re going vegan or dairy free, but I love this slightly spicy, creamy, tangy sauce to go with it. They’re versatile too- you could combine all the ingredients and store them in your fridge, then cook them when you need them. Like in your salads, for breakfast, or all on it’s own- they should be good in the fridge for about the next five days.My favorite way to fix these up is with a fried egg, bacon, avocado, and sauce drizzled on top. I made this for my family a couple weeks ago, and in my husband’s words- ‘the only problem I had with them was that there wasn’t more!’. I’ll call that a win!

Avocado Flatbread

A few of my fellow Instagram foodies and I are doing this monthly collab in which we choose a different ingredient each month and have to create a recipe using that ingredient. When one of the girls suggested using avocado, I was a bit worried, to be honest. I thought to myself "sure, I can put an avocado in a salad, but you can't really call that a recipe, can you?". And I've never tried baking with avocado before, because I find warm avocado quite repulsive. Boy, was I wrong!The combination of avocado with goat cheese is absolutely wonderful! The flatbread comes together so easily, you can have a delicious dinner ready in just a few minutes!If you like my content, click here for more!
