I finally made the vegan corn ice cream I've been dreaming about. 🌽🍦

It reminded me that it's okay to create things simply because you want to. Curiosity deserves to be followed, and joy doesn't have to justify itself.

Here's your reminder to make the recipe you've been thinking about.

Tried vegan sunny side up eggs for the first time and wow… it was an experience.

I didn’t like runny eggs when I was an omnivore, so this confirmed it’s definitely a texture thing because I feel the same about this. 😂🤭

I’ll forever choose a good ol’ tofu scramble.

Drop your favorite vegan breakfast below.

Vanilla extract is basically a tincture. Yep!

It’s made by soaking vanilla beans in alcohol and water to pull out all those rich flavor compounds. Technically, it’s a plant-based tincture. The only difference? In the kitchen, we call it “extract,” and commercially it has to meet “FDA standards” (at least 35% alcohol).

Same concept. Different lane.

Today I’m sharing a glimpse of my process of making:
🌿 Vanilla extract
🌿 An almond oil infusion with tea tree, vitamin E, calendula, & rosemary

And honestly? This stuff is way easier than people think.

With clean, quality ingredients (most of which you can buy in bulk), you can make multiple tinctures, extracts, and infusions for cooking, skincare, wellness, and more. One setup. So many uses.

This is about learning how to work with plants, oils, and herbs in accessible ways—right from your kitchen. No gatekeeping. Just curiosity, care, and creativity.

If you’ve ever wanted to try making your own… this is your sign.

Detroit vegan brunch hits different when it’s done with creativity. Street Beet always delivers! (Figuratively and literally 😂)

Shown:

Crab Cake Benedict - english muffins, crab cakes, arugula, poached eggs, hollandaise, old bay, chive

Shrimp + Grits - Cheesy grits, garlic butter grilled shrimp, scallion

The crab cake? My fav. Messy, but worth it (should’ve used a fork & knife lol).
Shrimp & grits were flavorful, but I’m a sugar grits girly 😂. Still fun to try though. I love a food adventure.
