Royal Icing {coconut butter}

December 20, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Cookie Icing

This icing recipe uses coconut butter and coconut milk to make spreadable dairy-free icing. Coconut butter and coconut oil are two different ingredients. Coconut oil is the oil that’s been extracted from the coconut solids, and coconut butter is the coconut solids that has been ground into a paste. In general, coconut butter is a …

Gingerbread Cookies {dairy free, egg free}

December 13, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Gingerbread Cookies

I’ve created a new gingerbread cookie recipe using coconut oil, instead of unsalted butter. My gingerbread cookies recipe from several years ago uses butter, an egg, a greater amount of almond flour, and it’s a denser cookie than this recipe. My kitchen floor is being replaced which means I’m without my trusty oven range, which …

Pumpkin Cheesecake

November 29, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Over the past two weeks I became obsessed with pumpkin cheesecake. I’ve made at least 6 cheesecakes and I’ve eaten all of them. I started with my dairy-free pumpkin cheesecake recipe, and then moved on to dairy-based pumpkin cheesecakes. The result is this recipe for pumpkin cheesecake using either Farmer’s cheese or dripped yogurt, also …

Pumpkin Cheesecake {dairy free}

November 18, 2020 by Erica 15 Comments

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is my first time creating a pumpkin cheesecake, and I chose to make it dairy free using cashews and baking it, versus using cashews to make a raw cheesecake. I’m a huge fan of the classic New York-style cheesecake. That said, I’m into non-dairy versions of things, but cheesecake is definitely a challenge to …

Holiday 2020

Holiday2020collage

Hi everyone! Here are my thoughts on cooking for the holidays: Keep things as simple as possible so that you don’t feel like you’re running a marathon only to finally crash at the table, utterly exhausted. If you’re eating with others, ask them to help with the preparation. Make stuff ahead of time, and put …

Sautéed Super Greens

November 15, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Sautéed greens are so easy to pull together, and can be made 5 minutes before the rest of a meal. You can also make greens as a snack anytime you think your body need a good shot of tasty green goodness. Kermit would be proud. This is one of my favorite ways to get vitamins …

No-Corn Corn Muffins

November 12, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

No-Corn Corn Muffins (2 of 3)

If you’re a fan of my no-corn cornbread, you’ll like these corn muffins. I don’t use any grain at all, just grain-free almond and coconut flour. They’re easy to make dairy free by substituting butter for olive oil or another oil. I haven’t tested it yet, but I’ll get you can use apple sauce in …

Pumpkin Chili

October 26, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Pumpkin Chili

I’ve wanted to create my own favorite pumpkin chili recipe for a while. It finally came to me that it’s easy to combine pumpkin and spices to serve up a warm bowl of chili. I top my bowl with cashew ricotta cheese, green onions, and cilantro. But don’t let me stop you there. Sliced avocados, …

Cream of Broccoli Carrot Soup

October 21, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Cream of Broccoli Carrot Soup

The photo for this cream of broccoli soup would be more green except that one of the ingredients gives it an orange hue. That would be the carrots, and while I love a green soup, the addition of carrots makes it slightly sweet while packing a good dose of vitamin A into this nutritious bowl …

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins {almond flour}

August 29, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

The unthinkable happened. My food processor is temporarily out of commission. But I’m happy to let you know that I tested these chocolate zucchini muffins without any electrical gadgets with great success. I grated the zucchini using my hand-held metal grater and mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl with a fork. It was that …

Thai Sauce

July 12, 2020 by Erica 8 Comments

Thai Sauce & Marinade

I’d like to introduce you to my favorite Thai sauce, and in my opinion the best Thai sauce. It’s packed with vitamin C, folate, and potassium, and uses fresh ingredients you may already have on hand. I avoid soy sauce and other processed ingredients in favor of natural juices, sweeteners, nut butter, and salt. I …
