Conscious Coupling in the Kitchen, Episode 1: Pecan Butter
I’m kind of obsessed with pecan butter. It’s creamy and sweet, and yet there is no sugar in it. Something about those pecans just makes everything taste sweeter… And since my husband, Ted, likes pecan butter so much (and often polishes off a batch before I’ve had a chance to fully enjoy it), I’ve invited […]
Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Pecan Muffins
I’m a sucker for anything banana. Sometimes I’ll even just stand in the kitchen, break off pieces of banana, dip them in almond butter, and eat them for breakfast…or lunch…or dinner….whatever works! So it would follow that I’m also a huge fan of banana bread, cakes, and muffins. When I went gluten and dairy free, […]
Tempeh Veggie Scramble
I used to love scrambled eggs, but I haven’t been into eggs for a while now. But that doesn’t mean I should suffer! And if you have a sensitivity to eggs, nor should you! Try out this recipe for tempeh veggie scramble. It’s sure to satisfy your craving for morning eggs! Here is what you […]
Vanilla Almond Milk Chai Latte
I’m a big fan of chai lattes. But I almost never get them. Why? Because I like them with almond milk, and not many places carry that milk variety just yet. But also – I can’t stand all of the syrup! 5 pumps of chai latte syrup does not a happy tummy make! Even one […]
Buckwheat Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Pancakes – Vegan/GF!
I’m a big breakfast fan. And I especially love chocolate chip pancakes! So when I finally discovered that buckwheat was not, in fact, a grain, but that was actually from the Rhubarb family, I was ecstatic! Because I prefer to stick to a mainly vegan, mainly gluten free diet. In honor of breakfast – and […]
Shakshuka
I’ve heard of Shakshuka for a while now, but I never had a chance to try it until last month. And boy – was it ever delicious! A savory traditional North African dish that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner, it’s a spicy tomato sauce with eggs baked right into it, and […]
No Bake Granola Bars – Vegan Friendly and Gluten Free
I went to a Christmas party last year, and my friends who hosted it baked a bag of goodies for each of the guests to go home with. It was delightful (and so are they)! Inside the bag, among many other amazing treats, were these home made oat bars that I thought were fantastic. So […]
Chocolate Almond Shake – Vegan Friendly!
Four years ago, on a hot California day, I went into a shop called Juicy Ladies and ordered myself what turned out to be one of my favorite shakes in the world. It was a chocolate almond shake that tasted like it had a whole lot of creamy dairy, chocolate, and peanut butter in it. […]
Almond Butter
It seems I always have a jar of either peanut butter or almond butter in the fridge. It’s great to have on hand for shakes, toast, or even almond butter pancakes! Though there are some amazing store bought choices, if you have a food processor, the best almond butter is always home made. And all […]
Avocado Sun-dried Tomato Toast – Vegan Friendly!
Sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking. I keep sprouted bread in the freezer, sundried tomatoes in my pantry, and avocados at the ready for times like these! Why? Because put them all together and you have a very delicious breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or even a vegan friendly appetizer to put out for […]
