Sweet but not too sweet, these mirin & maple roasted almonds are a welcome addition to the recipe collection. This is my first recipe for roasted nuts and it's about time they appear here. The idea for the mirin & maple glaze came about from my Mirin & Maple Tempeh Stir Fry. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out as this...
The temperatures here have been steadily on the cool side. It's been rainy, windy and chilly but absolutely beautiful! We had our first dusting of snow on the mountains a couple days ago. I love this time of year when the temperatures drop. It's time for beanie’s, sweaters and snuggling up with a bowl of soup or chili to keep warm. I've been making a...
My inspiration / goal for these was to use the nut pulp left over from the almond milk my mom made yesterday. I succeeded. Because the almonds were put through a blender and then strained, their consistency is extremely fine, so I guessed they'd work great in a cookie recipe, having the same texture as the original baked version. My guess was right!...
Today's post is simple and short. This is primarily because the recipe I WANTED to give you is taking longer to dehydrate than expected. Hint: it has something to do with chocolate and cookies. Oh, wait. That gave it away, didn't it...My mom made almond milk with our new nut milk bags this morning and I thought it would be delicious added to...

This is savoury food heaven. I got mono from a friend on Thursday, and then proceeded...

I've wanted to do a tempeh chili for a while now, and with the temperatures steadily on the low here in So Cal it's the perfect time of year to bring out the chili recipes. Tempeh makes for a great addition to any chili giving it an extra hearty feel and enhancing the protein & fiber content. With almost 20 grams of protein...
I had my first persimmon about a year ago. I've always admired their bright color and shape. Finally having picked one up, I fell in love at first taste. They have their own unique flavor...a sweet cinnamony flavor that I look forward to when they're in season. This recipe came about as I had a couple lying around. After a quick google search...
An excellent way of eating warm, raw meals in the colder months is in soups. You can use spices, garlic, onions, and other vegetables and hot water to create creamy, flavorful, healthy bowls of goodness that will have everybody asking for more! This particular recipes uses garlic to add heat, and avocado for creaminess. The other ingredients are fresh and bursting with nutrition...
I saw this picture of some Hostess cupcakes on Tumblr awhile ago and figured I'd better make a raw and vegan version because... why not. Although I never ate the infamous baked treats before I became vegan, their imagery still managed to infiltrate my eyesight; good marketing does that. If you're not familiar with what I am talking about, Hostess cupcakes are just...
