Easy Coconut Whipped Cream (Gluten-Free, Vegan / Plant-Based)
Easy Coconut Whipped Cream: Thick, rich, creamy and dreamy--yet dairy free. Only 5 minutes of your time! I figured after my post for Easy Homemade Coconut Butter, the next logical recipe would be Easy Coconut Whipped Cream. Maybe I'm wrong, but my perception is that there are basically two types of people in the world: Those who adore coconut and those who abhor it! Until recently, I fell into a group that most would say is a minority -- I was indifferent to coconut. I could not ...
PB&J Smoothie (Gluten-Free, Vegan / Plant-Based)
The PB&J Smoothie merges nostalgia and nutrition into one creamy, delicious treat! I have a confession to make: I'm not really much of a smoothie person. I see lovely pictures in the blogosphere of smoothies placed in various creative vessels and poised on a deck rail or buried in snow. I've tried many smoothies over the years but none have really blown my socks off. They either contain way to much sugar to be healthy or a boatload of dairy. Or they mix veggies in with fruit which I ...

Show Your Love with 100% Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Refined Sugar-free Confections
Who doesn't love Godiva? That little golden box seems to call your name even when the lid is on. But let's be honest: It's not much different than flavin' for a few margaritas and the ultimate regret that follows the next morning. Boxed chocolates taste good going down, but all that refined sugar and dairy can really wreak havoc on your system. This year, show your loved one you really care by delivering a compilation of completely vegan/plant-based, gluten-free and refined ...

Allergy Friendly Brookies My original Brookie recipe has been one my most popular for years. Over time, I have received several requests for substitution options mostly because of nut allergy issues. For this recipe, it was a challenge. To make the Brookies nut-free required ...

Chocolate Chickpea Bark has it all: sweet and salty, soft and crunchy. A complete taste and texture experience! You will be hooked from the very first bite. Make it a great addition to your New Year's spread. It tastes equally delicious paired with a glass of bubbly or a steamy cup of coffee. Not Just for Hummus Anymore Chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) boast so much nutritional value I thought they deserved to expand their recipe resume. Don't get me wrong, I love hummus ...
