Since I've been trying to keep up with Ice Cream Tuesdays, I was particularly excited about reviewing Vegan Ice Cream by Jeff Rogers. I was invited to be in a review group by the publisher and received this book for free. My opinions are my own and I was not paid or required to write this review. Be sure to read to the end of this post and enter for a chance to win a copy of your own! Spoiler: I loved the 2 ice creams I made and you can try the Chocolate Pecan for yourself since the ...

No-Added Oil Avocado Ranch Dressing
Chilled soup and salads are what my stomach wants as the temperature rises. Some days are so hot it seems that the only way to cool down is from the inside out. It's taken me years to get Cheryl to accept soup and bread, or a large dinner salad, as a whole meal. I have a whole bag of salad tricks that gets her just as excited by salad as I am. The first thing to remember is to use at least half romaine because that it is the lettuce she likes most. A chopped salad with a ... Read More about No-Added Oil Avocado Ranch Dressing
Vegan Strawberry Spelt Biscuits
When my friend Angela at Canned-Time.com invited me to post a recipe in her year-long Breakfast in Bed-Fest I couldn't say yes fast enough. I love breakfast! I wanted to make something biscuity because they are one of my favorite foods. Sweet biscuits, savory biscuits or drop biscuits are all big hits at my house. Since it's strawberry season I had to build my recipe around them. It's wonderful when you can get fresh strawberries that are perfectly ripe and are that beautiful ruby red ...

Red Curry Coconut Peanut Butter
I think I'm becoming a bit obsessed with nut butter. I only made turtle butter once and I haven't been able to turn back. This time I wanted to make a savory version. Cheryl brought some peanuts home and I promptly stole some of them to make this Red Curry Coconut Peanut Butter. The name could be a little misleading because I made it extra thick. It would be just as good to use as a pate at your next party. However, I've added instructions in the recipe on how to make it into the ... Read More about Red Curry Coconut Peanut Butter
Vegan Lavender Mint Tea Cookies
These lavender mint tea cookies are light and full of amazing herbal flavors. They are crisp and perfect for afternoon tea or a picnic dessert. The Lavender Mint Cookies in the photo were my absolute favorite of all the goodies I tried from Kelly's book, Cheers to Vegan Sweets. I love lavender with the lime juice and mint - it makes this shortbread-like cookie refreshing. They are very easy to make and are my go-to cookie this spring. I baked one cookie sheet of them and then froze the ... Read More about Vegan Lavender Mint Tea Cookies
Apple Caramel Quinoa-Noodle Kugel
If you or one of your guests are avoiding gluten, you can still have a sweet kugel with these homemade quinoa flour and flax noodles. The creaminess of the kugel comes from an easy-to-make cashew sour cream. The caramel is made from dates and vanilla, making this a healthy choice. If you are kosher, you may not be allowed quinoa flour or flax seeds during Passover. I am not an expert on Kosher food, and trying to figure this out by googling just got me more confused, so you should talk to ... Read More about Apple Caramel Quinoa-Noodle Kugel
