I literally made a FULL plant based meal tonight.

Made sausages from walnuts, lentils, and chickpeas, and I turned around and made some socca (chickpea flatbread). Then, I topped it with grilled purple onions and my homemade ketchup. It was so flavourful, and I made enough sausages for the week; i am so incredibly proud of how it turned out.

VIVICA A. FOX FOR VIBE MAGAZINE MARCH 1997 — “ I want the notoriety, but I want the work “ she was freshly coming off the filming of Soul Food and sat down with the magazine for an interview to talk about her career up until that point and things she planned for her future. Along with how she navigated fame and getting swarmed by fans while out somewhere with fine ass Mekhi Phifer. 🤭♥️ — [ xxx ]

Saying “no” is one of the most empowering acts you can do for yourself. Yet, it’s also one of the hardest, especially if you’re someone who struggles with guilt or the fear of disappointing others. We’re often conditioned to say yes to everything—whether it’s extra work, social obligations, or even toxic relationships—but in the long run, it leaves us drained and unproductive.

Setting boundaries is a critical step in reclaiming your time, energy, and mental health. Let’s break down how you can embrace the power of “no” without guilt.

Black Vinegar Chicken Nanban

Made by a chef who came directly from Japan🇯🇵. Black vinegar chicken nanban with egg tartar🍗. Fried chicken cooked with black vinegar, cloaked in fluffy egg batter🍳. The meat taste fragile and smooth. Not very oily. More natural. Not that salty. The egg sauce makes the chicken more fresh. Fulfilling and delicious😋

Homemade Vegan Banana Pudding

When I came up with this recipe, I was craving banana pudding. I have seen and read different recipes of banana pudding, and I wasn't really about some of them. While grocery shopping one day, I bought bananas for my daughterand a few days later, they started turning, and she won't eat them at all; I took them cut them up and froze them until I decided to make...something with them and that's when my version of vegan banana pudding was created and born.

Recipe:

5-6 bananas, ripen, chunks, and frozen, yet semi thawed.

1/2 can, coconut milk

1/3 C, coconut cream

2 tsp vanilla bean paste

2 tsp pure maple syrup

2 tbsp Arrowroot starch + 2 tbsp cold water

Garnishes:

Butter cookies of your choosing

banana slices

Directions:

First, make your arrowroot starch slurry and set aside. Next, to a blender, add your semi thawed bananas and coconut milk and let the blender run til it stops. Now, to a small pot, add your banana mixture, vanilla bean paste, coconut cream, and maple syrup. Turn your heat on medium-low and start stirring (do NOT let it burn! Keep stirring.) Continue to stir for 3 minutes; before you add your slurry, stir it back up to mix it back together (now, here is the challenging part; you have to stir them simultaneously!) Now, as you are stirring the banana mix, slowly SLOWLY stream in your slurry as your are stirring (do NOT stop.) continue stirring until you feel it thickening. After another 2 - 3 minutes, turn your heat off and remove from stove (still stirring).

Now that everything is off the fire and cooling down, slowly pour your mixture into an airtight container and let it cool dwn completely before placing it in the refrigerator. After the pudding has completely cooled down put it in the fridge overnight (trust me, she will thicken up.) Next morning, add your pudding to the blender one more time and let it go until it stop then place it back in the bowl and back in the fridge.

Now, you can either leave it in the fridge 1 more day, or you can assemble your banana pudding and then pop it right on in the refrigerator, and yes, it will thicken back up again.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Dio, a 19 year old undergrad student with big dreams and small pockets! Welcome to my blog :)!

Let’s get to know each other a little bit.

In January, I’ll become a legal assistant for a local Chicago law firm and work there for 3 months before I return to my tiny liberal arts college!!

Here, you will watch as I navigate brand new adventures in the form of travel, food reviews, music, and work!

Afterall, this will be the first time I will be living outside of my home state (Ohio 🌽) and living somewhere so huge!

Follow me on my journey and who knows. Maybe I’ll remember you when I become a big time lawyer. See you on January 2nd, where you’ll see my first official post !!!

Love,

Dio.

P.S Here’s some photos of tours truly. <3
