Did you know that you can grow brownies? I never tried it personally; however, I was able to use some leftover ingredients to create what I consider to be a very delicious plant-based brownie.
Clean eating is not as hard as you think; it can actually be pretty manageable sometimes. Well, for me anyway, because I adopted a nasty habit of reading what’s on the back of the boxes of some of my favorite, classic, old-school snacks. Oreos, Cheetos, and Taki’s all contain ingredients I cannot identify, like Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, and Riboflavin. This scares me because I’m not a dietitian and shouldn’t have to be a scientist to understand what I put inside my body. Don’t get me wrong; I indulge in my favorite toxic desserts occasionally, but mostly in desperate situations — like when I’m stuck in the airport at 4:00 AM and have no other options.
At home, I have options.
Before I understood how to use my options properly, I used to dibble and dabble with my childhood favorite, Duncan Hines. Duncan Hines was the GOAT of brownies from the 80s until I started reading labels, which means we had about a 25-year-run which started when I was elementary school.
