New York-Style Raw Cheesecake

Sometimes the simplest cakes are the best cakes. New York-style cheesecake is one of those simple, tangy, creamy cakes with a distinct texture and crust. I grew up in New York City and I’ve had many slices of New York Cheesecake. I never tire of it. It’s a classic. It’s my birthday today. I used …

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 …

Cashew Waffles {grain free}

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 …

Cream of Mushroom Soup {dairy free}

November 10, 2018 by Erica 9 Comments

I love the earthy flavor of cooked mushrooms. Roasted, sautéed, grilled. They all lead to tasty goodness. Here’s another way to harness the flavor and love of mushrooms—cream of mushroom soup. This version is dairy-free, however you can replace the cashew cream with yogurt or heavy cream if you’re good with dairy. I use either …
