Cashew Waffles {grain free}

May 20, 2020 by Erica 20 Comments

Cashew Waffles

I was able to find a few pounds of fresh raw cashews before my local market’s stock began to thin out due to COVID-19.  Besides using the cashews for dairy-free ricotta cheese, I’ve been making these grain-free cashew waffles and I thought it was about time I share the recipe with you. I toss all …

Ricotta Cheese {dairy free}

Cream of Mushroom Soup {dairy free}

November 10, 2018 by Erica 7 Comments

Cream of Mushroom Soup

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 …

Raw Berry Cheesecake

June 30, 2018 by Erica 12 Comments

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 …

Creamed Spinach

If you’re a creamed spinach lover but you’re not eating dairy, no need to wonder what other dishes you’ll be able to eat. You can have this. Creamed spinach is usually made with dairy-based cream and cheese, which is not an option for folks avoiding dairy. This recipe uses cashew cream and spinach. The cashew cream …

Ranch Dressing {dairy free}

Ranch Dressing {egg-free & dairy-free}

A few weeks ago I cut out dairy in an effort to get rid of intermittent migraines. And it worked. I think I was eating too much aged cheese and chocolate. The great thing was it gave me the chance to dig into some healthy dairy-free options, like this ranch dressing recipe. I usually make …

Trail Mix Bars - Comfy Belly

I’ve seen a lot of Kind bar replica recipes lately, which kicked me into working on a replacement for my old granola bar recipe, which was desperately in need of an update.  I’ve also revisited the ratio and ingredients for two other snack bars from way back, using toasted brown rice and millet. My older son and …

I truly belong in a chocolate lovers support group.
