Today, my friends, is April 20th.It is 420. You know what that means? International celebration of the wondrous and ancient herb called Cannabis Sativa. From it are two wonderful and infamous varieties - marijuana and hemp.To celebrate hemp, I have this link to an eBook from Purely Elizabeth, an organic whole food company dedicated to sustainability. It's a FREE DOWNLOAD. There's tons of...
Oh so creamy. Oh so delicious. Oh so dairy-free. You need to make this... oh so soon. After learning from my first go at nut cheeses, I have improved the recipe. I used half pine nuts, put it through the Vita-Mix and didn't freeze it (still smacking my forehead for that). It ended up being SUPER creamy and full of flavour. I let it...
You know you want it.This is basically the same recipe I've used before, and it's become hugely popular! This time I made a simple vanilla bean cheesecake. Vanilla is underrated, don't you think? I've always loved it myself but people tend to categorize it as "plain". That's a shame (and a rhyme).Vanilla Ice is also underrated...That was joke. But I won't lie here - I have...
Yesterday night I put some cashews and pine nuts in water to soak overnight, so today I could make nut cheese and cheescake! They are both ready to roll now. I think I'll let the nut cheese age for 2 or 3 days, and we will eat the cheesecake tomorrow. I can't wait. Mom borrowed the gardening book The Zero Mile Diet today, and...
Over the long Easter weekend, we put our garden reno plans into action.My mom has been wanting to install raised beds for awhile now; it maximizes your garden space, sunlight and it's more efficient for watering and picking - especially compared to our old garden. It was lovely, but frankly-speaking it was a big patch of dirt with a stone path winding through...
Today, friends, I start my 5 day weekend! Easter weekend plus I don't have class on Tuesdays. Rather excited.Amber is coming over tonight and we're gonna chill in the Zen Den and make some raw pasta ;)I might make something to do with chocolate and peanut butter too... you know of my obsession. Anyways today's post is just sharing some stuff: a song,...
Get it? Caramel + chia seeds = chia-mel! I'm proud of the cleverness. Don't judge me.Something else I'm proud of is the fact that these aren't primarily chocolate! However, I couldn't resist and put a little cacao in the crust. They're super tasty, and super nutritious. Think of the healthiest, most delicious granola bar - this is like that in dessert form I...
I love noodles. -So it makes perfect sense that among desserts, raw pasta is one of my favourite meals. I prefer it made with zucchini, although bell peppers, yams, carrots and other veggies work well too. I also love it with a creamy sauce and a bit of spice.It's so satisfying, nutrient-dense, low-calorie and RAW, in every sense of the word. I don't...
