Raw Vanilla Cheesecake 2 WaysLast week I had a dinner date with my dear friend Pam who I've mentioned many times on this blog. Over the years we've shared many dinners and it's such a thrill for me because, besides a fantastic friendship, Pam truly appreciates my food. She enjoys new tastes, savors every bite and is curious to know how I made each dish. For dinner I made raw fajitas - something I haven't made it a while. And dessert was this vanilla cheesecake with strawberry sauce, mixed berry chia jelly, and chopped macadamia nuts. I have to say, they turned out great! I made individual cheesecakes because I think...
Superfood CupsLast week I made superfood cups. I love making little cup treats. They're easy and the perfect snack size when you need a little "something". You know - for when the mid afternoon sweet tooth creeps up. I've made so many cup sized treats over the years, most of them being chocolate and mini cheesecakes, but today is all about the superfoods. These babies are filled with lucuma, maca, mesquite, bee pollen, hemp seeds, and coconut among other things. Superfood Cups Add whatever "add ins" you like. I've listed the items I used in this batch but I also like adding goji berries and... Coconut FudgeLast week I had a hankering for something coconutty with a fudgey texture = coconut fudge!

Raw Coconut Fudge Super easy treat to keep on hand for those afternoon sweet cravings! 6 tablespoons melted coconut butter 6 tablespoons cashew or almond butter 2 tablespoons coconut nectar 2 tablespoons lucuma 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil 1 teaspoon vanilla Pinch of salt ...
Raw Peanut Butter Crunch BarsRecently I set out to make a grain free/no bake rendition of the baked peanut butter granola bars I make on a regular basis for J to take to work. These can be made all raw by using raw peanut butter or you have the option of using roasted peanut butter if that's more easily available to you. I used cacao nibs in mine but you can use mini dark chocolate chips instead. Oh and they're great dipped in dark raw chocolate for an extra special treat! The bars are chewy but the buckwheat and cacao nibs gives them the perfect crunch! And remember, buckwheat is NOT wheat, its a seed and its... Raw Essence - Recipes and ReviewRecently a delightful new recipe book landed on my doorstep to review. Raw Essence is the compilation of 180 genius raw vegan recipes and information by chefs David Cote and Mathieu Gallant who also own Crudessence restaurant in Montreal. I've heard wonderful things about their restaurant and would absolutely love to eat there one day, but for those of us who don't have the luxury of popping over to Montreal, we can at least make some of their delicious recipes in our own homes. For me, one thing that really makes a recipe book is colorful photos, and lots of them. Raw Essence...
