Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola (Dessert Granola)

By

Hi Friends, I hope you are doing well. There is so much going on in the world lately. I know that food doesn't solve anything besides hunger; but it can nourish us, bring us joy, give us a little comfort. Food can bring us together, even when we have to be apart, food can heal. I just want to say that while things in the world are happening, we always have a basic need to eat. That's why food unites us, even if we still need to social distance. I know it's not solving problems, but creating … [Read more...]

Rosemary Socca (Chickpea Flour Flatbread)

By

Hi Friends, how are you doing? Back when the Covid-19 pandemic started everyone was going through a bread baking frenzy. Part of this was because there is a lot of comfort to be found in baking, this is very true. The other part is that stores were being bought out of sandwich bread, so people were getting resourceful. And I am assuming the other reason was to try something new, as a way to make the most of extra time spent at home. All of those reasons are great reasons to try your hand at … [Read more...]

3 Ingredient Vanilla Cashew butter

By

Move over peanut butter, there is a new nut butter in town....and it has vanilla! Cashew butter is kind of hard to come by in the store. If you can find it it's usually either super duper expensive or has additional oils. Since I usually only use cashew butter to spread on toast, I figured why not make my own? It's pretty easy to make, only requires 1 ingredient + 2 more if you want extra flavor, it's cheaper to make than to buy, it's creamy and delicious...and you know exactly what's in … [Read more...]

Date Sweetened Pumpkin Smoothie

By

Who's ready for a smoothie that literally tastes like you're drinking pumpkin pie filling (in a good way)? Pumpkin recipes are everywhere! Give me all of the pumpkin spiced recipes all fall long please! The only problem I have with making a pumpkin recipe that a lot of them only use a portion of the can, so I always seem to have leftover pumpkin in my fridge from September - November. More often then not, it ends up getting moldy before I use it up. I have tried freezing it to use it … [Read more...]
