Chocolate Kale Crunch

CRUNCHY! DELICIOUS! NUTRITIOUS! Not for the faint of heart! This treat is super crunchy and chock full of kale and therefore, probably best saved for those more experienced healthy eaters....but it is delicious!!! Feel free to spice it up even more! Get your greens on!!!

This can be made in a low temperature oven too...I’ve just not tried it. Comment below if you give this a whirl!

Wild Blueberry Coconut Pudding

Wild blueberries are significantly more nutrient dense than their cultivated cousins and unlike other fruits, maintain their magnificence even frozen.  This pudding took minutes to make and is one of my favorite dishes. This was breakfast today.

Add some bananas and dried coconut for a decadent, delicious, and nutritious treat. As each coconut varies in volume and ratio, meat:water, you’ll have to play it by ear with regard to chia, cashews and additional water, if needed.

Please comment if you made and enjoyed this recipe!

Waffle Cone Ice Cream Rolls

I’m super excited about this new treat!  This does require some preparation, but since they are frozen, you can make a large batch and have them on hand. Ok, I can’t promise they’ll stick around long...but they are worth the love put into preparing them. I served these at my chiropractors’ office and wish I had gotten video of the smiling faces as folks tasted these precious bite-sized delights!  Let’s get started!

Wild Blueberry Cream Pudding Parfait

Deeeeeelish!!! It’s creamy and light for an enjoyable summer snack.  I can eat this for lunch.

Feel free to use almonds instead of cashews, it won’t be quite as creamy, but still delicious. A great dairy free snack your non vegan friends would never guess did not have milk. Other fruit variations work well too.

Cheddah Cheese-Its (Dairy and Gluten Free)

I hope you are all enjoying the summer. It's a HOT HOT HOT one here on the East Coast!

I just got back from visiting my grandkiddies in SC and had a blast! So hard to leave. Back home, I was craving a crunchy snack. I got it..perfect!

There are many variations in spices to change it up, but here's my fav....

Dairy-Free, Raw Ice Cream

Ok! Bad picture! It was evening, and it was metling. I had very little lighting, but wanted to capture it. You'll have to trust me..It was GREAT! Some time back, I did a post on  how to prepare ice cream using a juicer and blank plate. It's been awhile since I pulled out the old Champion...but I'm sooooo glad I did. Last night I literally threw together some Blueberry Banana Coconut Ice Cream. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

What a fabulous blend of flavors! I'm a huge kale chip fan, but love to discover new ways to make them. This experiment turned out amazing! Some of my favorite flavors, fennel, orange, and red bell pepper.  Add a little zip and a little sweet, and you have simply FABULOUS kale chips!

(Dairy Free) Chocolate Covered Strawberry-Cheesecake Pudding Parfait

Okay, so I'm on a pudding parfait roll...Can you blame me? Pudding has always been one of my favorite treats, and raw vegan pudding is just exquisite! I get bored with the same thing over and over, so I keep changing up ingredients. For all of you that really want to make pudding, but don't have access to young Thai coconuts,  I used Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream instead. Yes, it turned out as tasty as it looks and definitely thickens as it chills and the coconut cream starts to set. Your family and friends will LOVE you for making this for them!

LOVE this quick and easy chowder. Creamy, thick, rich, flavorful, dairy free...and totally delicious! I've served this to many non-raw foodies, and all were in awe of the texture and richness of  flavor. Everyone swore the soup was loaded with cream..WELL, it is - cashew cream!

Chocolate - Butterscotch Mousse Parfait

One of my favorite dessert recipes ever! I make so many different variations of this and rarely ever measure. The recipe below is just a base, but you can make this in almost any flavor using extracts and things like mesquite, lucuma, macca, fruit, etc. This is one of my favorite combinations!. I hope you enjoy it too!

Want a lighter body? Use less cashews and more coconut meat. Easy to switch up and change consistency. Sometimes, I hardly use any cashews at all.

Sorry for the poor pic, but this did not last long enough to get my camera out!

Butterscotch - Rum Ripple Ice Cream

This is by far one of my all time favorite ice cream recipes. A friend told me that if I continued to make this for him, he'd give up Ben & Jerry's forever! The photo pictured is for visual only. Everyone ate it so fast, I never got a photo! This recipe is definitely enhanced using Medicine Flower extracts. If you don't have them, feel free to use an alternative, but these are the BEST. This ice cream is amazing! A little goes a long way, but you might want to double this. I served 6 small portions, but it was plenty!
