In two short days Paul and I will be celebrating our three year wedding anniversary (in an airport BTW on our way to Colorado for a whitewater rafting trip with family and friends - more on that later)! Seriously, how did we get to three years of marriage already?! With three years of dating (including our engagement), we've now been together for six years. Some people may be reading this and rolling their eyes because a six year relationship is nothing to them. But for me six years is a big … [Read more...]
Naturally Sweetened Horchata (V + GF)
If you have had horchata before you are probably pretty excited right now! If you have never had horchata, then, my friends, you are in for quite the treat! BTW, if you have had Rumchata before, horchata is pretty similar, only minus the rum. We are continuing on with our Cinco de Mayo recipes, and I have another beverage for you to enjoy. I remember the first time I tried horchata at a Mexican restaurant. I was in college, my parents were visiting, and I took them to my favorite Mexican … [Read more...]
Dairy Free Salmon Chowder (GF)
I vow that this is the last soup I will make until fall. Okay, I can't exactly make that promise. But it is the last soup that I have planned for a while. Are you shocked? Me, too. As you know, I detest milk, but I love a good seafood chowder. Chowders generally contain some heavy cream; it's pretty much essential to a good chowder. So, I made it my personal challenge to make a dairy free chowder that tastes as good as the dairy version. Do you want to know the secret? Cashew milk. … [Read more...]
Dark Chocolate Brownies (GF + DF)
Happy Monday, friends! This week is a special one. Do you know why? Because this week Robust Recipes is 2 years old! *Cue party noisemakers* That's right, two years ago I posted my first recipe. Don't laugh at the writing and the photos. I was just a baby back then, simply learning to take my first blogging steps. Yes, my friends, I have come a long way since I hit publish on that post! And I want to thank you, my dear readers, for coming along with me on this wild and crazy journey of … [Read more...]
Pea Soup (V + GF)
Happy spring, friends! I know that I keep mentioning spring, but it truly excites me - like little girl giddy excited. Besides doesn't the post of this title, Pea Soup, just sound like spring? And that gorgeous bright green color! I can barely handle it. As you know, I cannot survive cold weather without some warm soup. Even though it is officially spring and the sun is shining, the grass is green, the birds are chirping, we can still have some chilly days. Seriously, Mother Nature, … [Read more...]
Apple Cinnamon and Barley Pudding
Really the name of this post should be Apple Cinnamon and Barley Flummery. Yup, I said FLUMMERY. If you're reading this from England or Ireland (don't you love the internet?!) then you already know what flummery is. But if you're from America, then you're like, HUH?! According to Wikipedia "Flummery is a starch based sweet soft dessert pudding". Although the word flummery is pretty fun to say I decided calling it pudding, because in my mind that's what it is. Guys … [Read more...]
Coconut White Russian
But why would you want coconut in your White Russian? Why, oh WHY would you ever mess with anything as simple and perfect as a White Russian? The answers: 1) Because it's delicious 2) Because that's what I do here. I play with recipes, I add my own twist to a classic recipe, and I create my own recipes. It's fun; you should try it! Really, my true reason for trying out a Coconut White Russian is because I really hate dairy milk. It grosses me out, it always has. Growing up in … [Read more...]
Cashew Milk
You may know by now that I absolutely despise cow’s milk. I love all other things dairy but I cannot stand cow’s milk. I have tried all forms and it still makes me want to gag. So, I started making my own almond milk, and instantly fell in love with its creamy consistency and its almond flavor. I have recently started to read about making other kinds of nut milks, such as pecan and cashew milk. "Must-try-all-nut-milks," says my greedy stomach. First on the list is cashew … [Read more...]
