Easy DIY Strawberry Oat Milk with Flavor Variations
If you’ve always bought plant-based milk, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make your own oat milk. Oat milk is one of the easiest and least expensive. All you need is a blender, a fine mesh strainer, and your flavorings to get started. Flavored milk can be loaded with fat and sugar, but this plant-based Oat Milk recipe is lightened up by using a base of oats and sweetened with your choice of sweetener. I recommend date paste or even soaked dates, but maple or date ... Read More about Easy DIY Strawberry Oat Milk with Flavor Variations

Strawberry Scones
Little pieces of chocolate melt in your mouth and blend with the sweet strawberries to make this the perfect spring scone! My cat, Irma was really drawn to the scones and just couldn't stop smelling them. She wasn't interested in eating them so I let her enjoy exploring them. I'm sure you already know, but chocolate is off limits for pets. Oddly enough she actually seemed most interested in the strawberries. These are pretty healthy scones. I used whole wheat flour, flax seed eggs and ... Read More about Strawberry Scones
Vegan Rosewater Parfaits with Silken Tofu & a Surprise Ingredient
The pudding in these parfaits is thick and gets its cheesecake-like flavor from the vegan yogurt. The magic bean ingredient? Well, that would be the cooked red lentils. I promise you no one will know they are in this decadent dessert. I do use silken tofu, but you could make it with all yogurt instead, it just won't be as thick. Sandwiched in between layers of vanilla cookie crumbs, it’s something all your dinner guests will want seconds of. It’s a great mini dessert to serve in ...

The Best Indian Chickpea Yogurt Salad
The first time I saw an Indian Chickpea Yogurt Salad I knew I would have to veganize it. There are cooling bites of cucumber mixed with hearty potatoes and chickpeas all held together with vegan yogurt and aromatic Indian spices. It's wonderful to open up the fridge on a hot day and scoop some of this on your plate. It tastes great and cools you down too! This recipe uses kala namak or Indian black salt. Calling it black salt is always confusing to me because the outside ... Read More about The Best Indian Chickpea Yogurt Salad
