Spelt – abundance, prosperity, joy, health, strength, longevity

Turmeric – strength, energy, protection

Garlic – cleansing, protection, health

While going through the steps to prepare your chickpea fritters, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. What type of abundance are you trying to manifest in your life? What will your life look once this happens? Think about your particular situation and goals.

And Now The Spiced Chickpea Fritters Recipe!

Makes 6 – 10 fritters | Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas, drained
1/2 c. whole spelt flour (or most any flour you have on hand)
2 – 3 tbsp vegetable broth (start with 2, add more if needed)
2 tbsp aquafaba (from your can of chickpeas)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
black pepper to taste
1 chopped green onion
sprinkle of favourite vegan cheese shreds

Preparation:

Drain your chickpeas. Save the aquafaba liquid for later.
Smash your chickpeas up a bit then add in your liquid ingredients and mix together.
Now add in your flour, nutritional yeast, and spices. Continue mashing together until chunky and well combined. Be careful not to over mash as it will make the mixture too wet.
Now add in your onions and cheese shreds. Mix all together with your hands to form a ball. If it is too dry add some more veggie broth. If it seems a little too wet add in a bit more flour to help absorb the extra moisture.
Next we will form our fritter patties. You should be able to make 6 – 10 depending on how big you make them. I usually get about 8. Use this time while you are working with your dough to connect with the energies in your ingredients. Focus on your goals and what your re trying to accomplish.
We can now begin to cook the fritters. Add a bit of olive oil into your pan and fry each fritter for about 4 minutes per side on medium/low heat. They will turn a nice golden brown and be a bit crispy when finished. While you are frying your fritters you may state the following or something similar, ‘Sacred chickpeas, gift from the earth, bring abundance into my day and life.’ You can tailor this to meet your specific situation.

And that’s it!

Very easy to put together and really so tasty. If you have leftovers try to reheat them in a pan and not the microwave. It will give a much better result. They will last 4 – 5 days in the fridge. Add your favourite dip to the experience to make them extra tasty. I really like them with hummus or garlic mayo.

These fritters are great to match the spring time rhythms happening all around us in nature. I hope you enjoy them and may they help to bring much abundance to your life!

And Now The Baked Cauliflower Bites Recipe!

Makes 4 – 6 servings | Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

4 cups cauliflower (about 1 large head)
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 cup whole spelt flour (most any flour will work here)
1 cup breadcrumbs
3 tbsp shredded coconut
5 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparation:

Wash and break up your cauliflower heads into bite sized pieces into a large bowl.
Mix together your flour, milk, and spices into a separate bowl.
Mix your bread crumbs and coconut and set aside. Leave about a third of this mixture separate and don’t use right away. You will want to refresh your bread crumbs once you start making your way through dipping your florets. It gets messy.
Now pour your milk mixture over your cauliflower florets and stir them up until all of the florets are covered. While you are mixing keep your intentions focused and you may state the following or something similar, ‘May this cauliflower bring clarity to the chaos and calm to the storm.’
Preheat your oven to 350F and prepare your pan with parchment paper.
Now begin dipping your florets one by one into the breadcrumb mixture and place them on your pan in a single layer. If there is overlapping the florets won’t come out crispy.
Bake for about 30 minutes.

These are best enjoyed fresh from the oven. They are delicious dipped in hummus, garlic mayo, or sriracha.

This meal is perfect for spring when we’re trying to perhaps start new projects, making changes, or starting down new paths. All things that can be overwhelming and it can be beneficial to utilize our meal times and take in some properties that help us keep a clear mind so that we might move forward with clarity and purpose.

Kitchen Witchery: Easy Banana Bread Overnight Oats for Perseverance

What is an easier or more satisfying breakfast than oats? As warmed oatmeal, as granola, in a yogurt bowl, smoothie, or as overnight oats. You really can’t go wrong when oats are a part of your daily start. Nutritious, delicious, and oh so magical. Try these Vegan Banana Bread Overnight Oats for Perseverance the next time you really need to push past obstacles and distractions and get things checked off of that to do list or makes some tough decisions.

These are really a perfect breakfast for the Spring time season to help reach your goals and stay on track. Not to mention an easy, healthy and tasty breakfast as well

These oats are packed with nutrients and wonderful energetic properties including perseverance, sustainability, prosperity, resilience, luck, and spirituality. A perfect breakfast to align your magickal practice, wellness goals, and the boss witch in you!

Let’s begin with a little health overview. Overnight oats are filled with essential vitamins and minerals to keep you energetic and satisfied all the way until lunch time.

Vegan Banana Bread Overnight Oats: Health Benefits

Rolled Oats (the extra thick variety are particularly good)

Rich in anti-oxidants

Source of Manganese, Phosphorous, and Magnesium

Helps control blood sugar

Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder

Many of us require a little bit of a protein boost into our days.
I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder. or Form Performance Blend Vanilla Flavour. They are both delicious, vegan, soy free, and with no unpronounceable additives.
A lot of protein powders unfortunately have many additives. Be sure to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless, so you don’t even notice it’s there lol.

Overnight Oats Notes

Don’t omit the ground flaxseed as it helps to absorb the liquid and thicken your oats.
You may add a little more or less liquid to go with your preference of desired consistency. I sometimes like to add a little coconut kefir just before eating to add a bit of a creamy texture.
Different protein powders WILL change the taste. The Vanilla Genuine Health one is the absolute best tasting I have found, EVER. And by a lot. You can also omit the protein powder entirely and add in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract instead.
Overnight oats are super versatile! You can switch up the milks, flavour options and toppings easily, so experiment and have fun.
Many people say to consume your oats within a day of making them but I prepare mine in advance for 3 -4 days at a time and on the third and fourth day they are still delicious.
Overnight oats can be eaten cold or warmed up. They choice is yours! I generally eat mine straight out of the fridge. It really doesn’t get any easier to grab a quick breakfast.

Morning Magic

Food is always magic. And weaving that magic into our normal activities, such as meal times, is a powerful way to connect with our craft on an every day basis.

Kitchen witchery is a practical and beautiful form of everyday magic that often gets overlooked even by witches who practice regularly. And Spring is a wonderful time to embrace this form of magic! I encourage you to dive in and give it a try if it’s something that is new to you.

These overnight oats are an easy and effective way to practice a bit of kitchen witchery and set intentions for you to persevere and get past any obstacle that might be put in your path. Make these when you know you have a busy or challenging day ahead.

Banana Bread Overnight Oats: Main Magickal Properties

Bananas – perseverance, prosperity, resilience, wealth, luck, spirituality

Oats – sustainability, wealth, abundance

Cinnamon – success, prosperity, strength, luck, love, enhanced psychic awareness

Vanilla – love, beauty, passion, energy

Flaxseed – healing, money, protection, beauty, psychic abilities

Maple Syrup – wealth, joy, prosperity

What goals are you looking to accomplish? Visualize how your life will look once you reach these milestones.

4 cups spinach
1 cucumber, sliced
2 heads broccoli
1 zucchini
2 tbsp. hemp hearts

Dressing Ingredients:

1/3 c Tahini

Bowl Preparation:

Prepare your quinoa according to the package directions.
Chop up your broccoli and put it to steam.
In a pan add a dash of oil or veggie broth for frying.
While your quinoa is cooking and broccoli is steaming, chop up your green veggies and add to the pan one at a time in this order: green onion, zucchini, spinach. Once one begins to cook slightly, add the next.
Add in your spices for the stirfry: 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp coriander, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder.

I like to also add a bit of the same spices and some nutritional yeast to the broccoli and quinoa.

You are ready to build your bowl once all items are cooked. Scoop all items into your bowl and top with 1 – 2 tablespoons of your dressing and 1/2 tbsp of hemp hearts.

Prior to eating you may recite the following or something of your choosing:

“May these gifts from the earth bring abundance and prosperity to my day.”

Enjoy!

Vegan Protein Powder

Being vegan, I like to get this extra protein boost into my day.
I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder or Form. They are both delicious and with no funky additives.
Be wary with protein powders as a lot of them have ingredient lists as long as your arm. Try to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes only unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless lol.

Smoothie Notes

I don’t use any additional sweetener. However, you can add a medjool date, maple syrup, agave, or date syrup if you’d like it on the sweeter side.
People have varied tastes when it comes to smoothies in regards to how thick they like them. This recipe is exactly how I make mine. Feel free to add more, or less, liquid/ice to get your desired thickness.
Different protein powders WILL change the taste. The Vanilla Genuine Health one that I use is the absolute best tasting I have found, EVER. And by a lot. You can also omit the protein powder entirely. Maybe add a little vanilla extract or kefir to the mix if you omit the powder.

A Magical Start to Your Day

Food is magick, always. So let’s harness that and get our day started off with intention, mindfulness, and positivity.

And it just so happens, our smoothie ingredients today have some amazing magickal properties attached to them.

Intention setting while we are preparing our meals is a stellar way to inject some magick into our normal daily routines. I mean we all gotta eat, so why not make it magickal. Practical magick at it’s finest!

Banana Berry Smoothie: Main Magical Properties

Berries – success, luck, energy, abundance (varies slightly depending on berry)

Almond – beauty, goddess energy, prosperity, healing

Banana – prosperity, love, perseverance, spirituality

Cinnamon – success, strength, luck, love, enhanced psychic awareness

Oats – sustainability, wealth, abundance

Spinach – strength (can strengthen your mind, body, and manifestations), money, prosperity, passion

While preparing your smoothie, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. How do you want to feel? What do you want your day to look like? In this case we can focus on sowing ourselves some much needed self love and care.

You are taking magickal elements into your body, take advantage of what they can offer you and how they can help to manifest your goals as well as nourish your holistic self.

Makes 1 serving – Total time: 10 minutes

200 ml non dairy milk (almond, cashew, oat, soy, coconut)
