I love the earthy flavor of cooked mushrooms. Roasted, sautéed, grilled. They all lead to goodness. Here’s another way to harness the flavor and love of mushrooms—cream of mushroom soup. And it’s dairy-free. I use either cashew cream or cauliflower for the creamy base. The flavor is equally good in both, but for a slightly …
Date Ketchup {quick & easy}
Dates contain a healthy dose of vitamin, minerals, and fiber, and they are a completely natural sweetener. I don’t buy dates often but I usually have leftovers stored in my refrigerator after making a raw cheesecake. I’m not sure how long dates are supposed to last in the refrigerator but I keep them for a …
Nut Butter Cream Frosting
This frosting is decadent. Which is why it has a post all to itself. I was going to call it “nut butter frosting” but it’s definitely a level above frosting due to the butter component, making it more like butter cream frosting. And any nut butter will work with this frosting. If you prefer almond …
Zucchini Rollatini {dairy-free}
This recipe is great any time of year, but especially when zucchini is in season. There’s 3 recipes all rolled into one here: a very quick, easy marina sauce, cashew ricotta cheese, and finally, the rollatini. You can grill or pan-fry the zucchini strips. And, if it’s hot outside you can get away with baking …
5 Minute Tomato Sauce {quick & easy}
Keep this recipe in your back pocket because it’s easy and you never know when you might need a batch of tomato sauce in a matter of 5 minutes. The key ingredient is a jar or can of crushed tomatoes, a dash of olive oil, and a few herbs. For folks who follow SCD, there …
Raw Berry Cheesecake
I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …
Spaghetti Pizza Pie
Have you ever made a spaghetti pie? I hadn’t, until now. That’s because now it’s using spaghetti squash. No pasta or pizza dough here. This is not a quick recipe because the baking time is close to an hour. But it is easy, and it serves as breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even snack. Make …
Green Velvet Soup {quick & easy}
It’s a fact. I feel best eating green food. And, yeah, I’m an organic girl whenever possible. Spending the extra money on organic food is my donation to the planet. But do what you can afford, because all veggies and fruit are good. I get a kick out of creating and consuming quick and easy …
Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin {almond & coconut flour}
I’m a huge fan of raisins, so it’s no surprise that I really liked this version of English muffin. The first version, a plain English muffin, fills a need for a quick bread fix. This version, with cinnamon, honey, and raisins, goes a step further with a slightly sweet taste and a slightly moister texture. …
English Muffin {almond & coconut flour}
I’ve seen a few versions of this recipe but didn’t take it too seriously. I didn’t really believe it was possible. But I had to try it. I won’t lie. It’s not identical to the texture and taste of an English muffin made with all-purpose flour, but it’s a good substitute if you can’t eat …
Baked Apples
Baking an apple is an exercise in patience (for me), given the long baking time. But it’s so worth the wait. My grandmother served baked apples for dessert when I was young. Nothing fancy. From my memory it was baked until it was completely soft. Since I don’t know how she prepared it, I’ve experimented …
Thumbprint Cookies
This recipe is great to make with kids (or adults) because the dough needs to be rolled into a ball using your hands, and then you insert your thumb in the middle to flatten it and fill with jelly. Just imagine a Playdough session that results in tasty cookies. My favorite part is the jam. …
