It was my daughter's first birthday, and I was torn between baking or buying her first cake ever. I started looking into healthier bakeries in the area, but they were expensive and many of them still used white/refined flour and sugar, toxic food dyes for coloring or didn't have designs I really liked. But I really wanted my baby girl to have a first birthday cake (and a first birthday … [Read more...]
Avocado Basil Pesto
I got an awesome new kitchen gadget, for Mother's Day! It's a Spiralizer, and it makes slicing veggie pasta (and curly fries!) a breeze! The BEST part of getting it when I did? Local organic zucch's were on sale at the market and in abundance at my local farmers market! So I went bananas (we have a ton of those at home too!) and filled the fridge, obviously. :) Where I'm located in Cali, summer … [Read more...]
Chocolate Ice Cream (Vegan & Gluten free)
It's really no secret I LOVE chocolate and I really love ice 'cream' (or nice cream, or non-dairy frozen dessert, or whatever you prefer to call it!). So putting the 2 together is a no-brainer for me. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had chocolate gelato every. single. night. I swore she was going to come out chocolate color! I am SO excited to share with you a brand NEW exciting new recipe … [Read more...]
Mac ‘N Cheese (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I am like everyone else - a busy person... I'm an entrepreneur and a mom and don't always have time to menu plan the week in advance (although I think it's a great idea and highly recommend it!) :) I was flying by the seat of my pants one night, when I had a craving for Mac 'n Cheese. I LOVE my vegan/gluten free mac 'n cheese recipe but I didn't have any cauliflower on hand! I DID have some … [Read more...]
Vegan & Gluten Free Hamantaschen
Every year, around my birthday, is a Jewish holiday called Purim. It's basically the Jewish version of St. Patrick's Day and Halloween all mashed up together - you dress up in costumes and drink a lot! You also traditionally eat cookies called Hamantaschen, that resembles Haman's (the bad guy in the story's) 3-cornered hat! They are doughy cookies filled with jam (or other fillings). I've had … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Kale & Mozzarella (Vegan & Gluten Free)
It’s not JUST Meatless Monday! It’s also erev (the eve of) my birthday! Let’s have a pizza party to celebrate!!! :) Like most Americans, I like pizza. But only really, really GOOD pizza. I’m from NJ and lived in NYC for half my life so I’m what some would call a “pizza snob.” I’m ok with that. :) When I lived in Boston, and now in LA, I don’t eat pizza. Why? Because I’ve tried it and … [Read more...]
French Onion Soup (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I LOVE French Onion soup! On rare, special occasions, my Mom would make it from scratch and serve it in those classic cute shaded brown bowls. It was always a real treat and incredibly yummy. Most onion soup recipes are beef based, have real cheese AND use gluten-full bread. I love a cooking challenge so I thought I'd give it a whirl and make this vegan and gluten free. Outcome? SUCCESS!!! I … [Read more...]
Thin Mints (Vegan & Gluten Free)
It’s that time of year again! Where everywhere you go, someone is selling Girl Scout cookies! This past week, I’ve seen many pedestrian-filled street corners with a table and a bunch of boxes of cookies on top. These days, since I am more conscious about what I put in my body, I walk on by. There was a time, though, when I sold those cookies myself. Come to think of it, that might have been the … [Read more...]
