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...]
Crispy Cauliflower “Wings” (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I'll be honest I'm not into football too much these days. With two small kids, having 3 hours to sit and watch a game sounds like a "fantasy"! I grew up being a big Giants fan (living in NJ, I called them the NEW JERSEY Giants since they've played there for 40+ years, after all! Why do they still call them the NY Giants?). Then I married someone from Boston, sat behind Bob Kraft in temple … [Read more...]
Earl Grey Shortbread (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I've been partnering with Hynt Beauty to bring you yummy recipes that feature their amazing, organic plant-based ingredients. This recipe is all about Bergamot! Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) is actually a cross between a lemon and an orange, and has a very citrus-y scent. It's best known for being the main flavor in Earl Grey tea, but besides its distinctive aroma, bergamot oil is amazing for your … [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...]
Strawberry Beet Fruit Leather (Vegan & Gluten Free)
If you are raising a plant-based or health-focused family, it's great to have a fun snack so the kids don't feel like they are missing out on something their peers and friends get. If you ever looked at the ingredients on fruit roll-ups or fruit-by-the-foot, you might not feel so good about giving it to your child. But the good news is that it's super easy to make it yourself! This recipe only has … [Read more...]
Apricot Coconut Balls (Vegan & Gluten Free)
They may taste like a dessert but with all the fiber from the oats and coconut and protein from the pepitas (pumpkin seeds), they are secretly a healthy treat! My toddler devours these - she calls them cookies, and I don't mind at all! I'm using dried apricots, which actually have higher levels of fiber, potassium and antioxidants than fresh fruit because they are more concentrated. If you … [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...]
