Welcome to another installment of Secret Recipe Club. This is where I am assigned another blogger to stalk and make one of their recipes.
I was overjoyed when I got We Heart Vegan. I have been wanting to make some vegan recipes but wasn’t sure how.
Oh so many vegan recipes and such little time to figure out which one! I printed out the Vegan Potato Patties recipe and thought that would be a great one to start with. I just kept looking at different recipes. Each one looked better than the last. I finally made an executive decision and in the end I made her Cafe Mocha. It was a hit in my house. Even Monkey Girl loved it!
Britney and Julie are the brains behind We Heart Vegan. Their passion for a plant-based lifestyle shines through their blog. They like to show everyone that not only is vegan food healthy, it is cheap and appealing.
Keep in mind I am no stranger to eating vegetarian. Our Lenten season is all about abstaining from meat. I have relatives that are vegetarians and enjoy cooking for them all the time.
I thought it would be kind of cool to check out the recipes they had to offer. I know there was a recipe in there that had my name on it and I was right. I really enjoyed that Cafe Mocha and would definitively make it again.
Cafe Mocha
Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk
1 packet hot chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon espresso
1 cup brewed coffee
Directions:
In a small saucepan dissolve the hot chocolate into the almond milk. Add the vanilla extract and espresso power and bring to a simmer. Add the coffee to the mixture and allow to simmer 2-4 minutes.
Enjoy!
Peace be with you,
