Last month, when I was experimenting with my creamy raw macadamia nut milk, I came up with this luscious ice cream. It's smooth, rich, and chocolatey with hints of coffee flavor, chunks of almond and dark chocolate, and ribbons of homemade caramel. Despite all this decadence, it is free from dairy (obviously) and refined sugars, … Continue reading Vegan Mocha Caramel Ice Cream with Almonds and Dark Chocolate Chunks

Cheesy Potato Asparagus Blossoms (vegan, gluten-free)
Last week I was brainstorming ideas for holiday dishes, and I kept envisioning layers of potato, cheese, and asparagus. A casserole, of sorts. Now, I love a good plant-based casserole, but honestly I rarely make those sorts of dishes. Since posting a casserole would be a bit out of character for me, I came up … Continue reading Cheesy Potato Asparagus Blossoms (vegan, gluten-free)
Homemade Macadamia Nut Milk
Making homemade dairy-free milk is so easy. Honestly, I feel kind of silly even sharing this "recipe" because, for all plant milks, the technique is pretty much the same. Soak, blend, strain. That's it! It's so easy, and the results are out of this world. If you're used to buying your almond, cashew, or other … Continue reading Homemade Macadamia Nut Milk

Matcha Mint Raw Oreos – Two Ways (both vegan & gluten-free)
On March 6, 1912, cookie history was made. Two crispy chocolate cookie discs with a sweet creme filling were released to the American public, creating a confectionery frenzy, becoming (and remaining) the most popular cookie in the United States. That's right, today is Oreo Cookie day. And am I ever excited about sharing this raw oreo … Continue reading Matcha Mint Raw Oreos – Two Ways (both vegan & gluten-free)
