Triple Chocolate Gingerbread BarsOh, the weather outside is frightful…actually, it really is, although I am sure different from the originally intended lyrics. We have been having a heat wave in So Cal and there have been earth tremors and extreme fire dangers. With all this, I find myself increasingly prayerful…yet not anxious.

Homemade Non-Dairy Almond YogurtRecently, when raving to my friends about the cashew based yogurt on my feed, some mournfully told me that they could not eat cashews. But, they could eat almonds.

Results…honestly, I like the creaminess of the cashew better…but, if that is not an option, then this almond based option is pretty…

Packing clean ingredients and muscle supporting protein (something you don’t usually see in pudding), this pudding has a secret ingredient. You might not ever guess it….

Best Ever Dairy Free YogurtSo…a while back on my feed, I posted a cashew based yogurt recipe that I had found at @cleaneatingmag. My dear friend @haleygoesvegan, adapted the recipe…which you can find on her feed. I took her adaptations and added a few more of my own…and after all that adapting…finally found the PERFECT yogurt! Not only is it protein strong, but it’s flavor and thickness is on point. This is a must make for everyone…even dairy lovers will…

Cauli-Mash and Blender GravyI love finding easy ways to make comfort foods more nutritious. Potatoes and cream based gravy are subbed out in mere minutes for steamed cauliflower with nut and broth based gravy. Secret flavor boost is the vegetarian, no-chicken broth! It’s great stuff. That, plus added protein, makes this one dish you can feel good about serving to your family and friends any day of the year! Enjoy!Cauli-Mash6 cups steamed cauliflower florettes1 tablespoon coconut oil (like @anthonygoods)1/4 cup…
