Every year for Christmas, someway or another, my family ends up with a boxed Fruit Cake. Have you ever tried these? If you haven't, I'd advise you to pass on it and try this Holiday Fruit Bread instead. Not only is this recipe easier than the traditional recipe, it is also gluten-free, refined sugar-free and delicious.
After you have made your beloved nut milks, what do you do with the pulp? Make brownies, of course!
Homemade raw nut milks have been my thang recently, all thanks to Raw nut Milk. My two favorites are definitely my Ice Cream Milk and my Pumpkin Pecan Milk, mmmmm.
Of course, the ingredient sources will be up to you, but I wanted to share my favorites:
This is the Best Raw Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream I have ever tasted.
A bold statement, yes. The truth? ABSOLUTELY.
This is the ice cream that I used as a base for my Raw Vegan Mango, and you can definitely use it as a base for practically any other flavor you wish to create. For this recipe, a sweet and simple vanilla ice cream was perfect to go with the flavors of the cobbler. (Oh, I used the raw oat crumble as well, included in that same post!)
Feast your eyes on this beautiful pre-oven cobbler! Be sure that after you place all of the stone fruit into the batter, pour the remaining juices and sugar over it, that way you get all of the sweet fruity goodness.
After posting a photo on my Instagram of my breakfast the other day, which included these power balls, I got a few reqests for the recipe, so I decided to create a post to share with everyone!
These were inspired by the ingredients in my Apple Rose Caramel Tart, a low fat raw vegan dessert I served for my birthday guests this year. I took the same basic ingredients and added nuts and oats into the mix and voila, power balls were created.
Last weekend I attended the Los Angeles Vegan Potluck! It was such an amazing event. I learned so much about people I have connected with on Instagram, getting to finally meet them in person, and I was also able to share company with people that I had not met before, but am so glad that I did. You can read more about the event on my previous post.
I brought two yummy dishes to the potluck.
The first was my Summer Squash Pilaf from my Lunch & Dinner Ebook. My mom was actually the creator of this dish. She made it for me as my Raw Till 4 dinner entree when we visited my grandparents a few weeks ago. Everyone loved it at the dinner so I knew it had to be brought to the event.
The second was this Gluten-free Triple Berry Crisp with Sweet Vanilla Cashew Cream I came up with. I actually threw the tart together on a whim and I had no idea how it tasted until I sampled it at the event. It was definitely nerve wrecking, so thank goodness it was good! This cashew cream is my favorite, I wish I could eat it all day everyday, its that good!
Show some love to your little friends, too! Give them the gift of a healthy treat, considering their nutrition and health as much as you consider yours. I whipped up this recipe specifically to make use of the spent grain from all of the beer my...
