My hubby LOVES crêpes but we haven't had them in ages. (It's not so easy to find vegan ones.) I never made them before, but it was his birthday and I wanted to surprise him. (Hard to do that lately, being together 24/7 with 3 small kids!)! It was my first time making crêpes, both because I was intimidated by attempting a vegan version of these delicate pancakes, and because I am not the … [Read more...]
Orange Currant Irish Soda Bread (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I was SHOCKED when I asked my (part Irish) husband what he did growing up to celebrate St. Paddy's Day and he answered, 'Nothing in particular.' Well, I wasn't ok with that answer. Growing up, my 100% Jewish Mom would make home made (kosher) corned beef and cabbage (and potatoes!) every St. Patrick's Day! Not an ounce of Irish blood in us but my Mom made the day a big deal and it was fun (and … [Read more...]
Strawberry Chia Jam (vegan & Gluten Free)
Jam is delicious on muffins, crackers, almond butter & jelly sandwiches (or sunbutter/pumpkin seed butter if you can't do nuts) and more, but did you know most store-bought jam has sugar or corn syrup added? But not to worry! It's also amazingly simple to make your own! Check out my cooking video to see just how easy it is! Hope you enjoy! PS - this goes great on my almond pulp … [Read more...]
Green Pancakes (vegan & gluten free)
One of our favorite weekend breakfasts is these pancakes. They're yummy with strawberry jam or a fruit topping, and are vegan, gluten free, tasty, fluffy and filling! They are also an easy way to get a bunch of spinach in to my daughter! They are also loaded with fiber from pumpkin and oats, protein from the oats and chia seeds and nut butter topping... and greens from the spinach... it's … [Read more...]
Rosemary Blueberry Scones (Vegan & Gluten Free)
As a HUGE fan of high tea, I can appreciate a good scone BUT it's not so easy to find vegan and gluten free ones! I first made this recipe for one of my Young Living Essential Oils events. It was a morning workshop and I thought scones would be a yummy treat for a breakfast time event. As you know, I'm a busy mom of 2 and run my own business so... easy and fast but tasty recipes are my … [Read more...]
Orange Chocolate Chip Scones (Vegan & Gluten Free)
For Teacher Appreciation week, my toddler's school asked families to bring in food for breakfast or lunch. The school is thankfully already gluten and dairy free (and I think it's cute when they 'remind' me, LOL!) Anyway, my RosemaryBlueberry Scones recipe popped into my head! So I made this version (along with another recipe plus fresh fruit), with enough for the 30+ teachers and therapists at … [Read more...]
Rice Pudding (Vegan & Gluten Free)
Rice pudding was BOTH of my grandfather's favorite dessert. When ever we went out to eat they would order it. I love it too and had it often as a child. Recently I had leftover brown rice. Not enough to make a stir fry or another meal, but the perfect amount for dessert! So, I turned it into rice pudding. Although I made it vegan, I have no doubt my Zadie & Grandpa would be proud. I couldn't … [Read more...]
Açaí Smoothie Bowl
I'm excited to share my first recipe for the fabulous, non-toxic and organic cosmetic line Hynt Beauty! (Read all about my collaboration with them here!) I always say your skin is your biggest organ, and that you shouldn't put something ON your body if you wouldn't put it IN your body! That's why I LOVE that Hynt Beauty's whole line of products are made only nature’s finest botanical … [Read more...]
