Quadruple Layer Raw, Vegan, Caramel Banana Cream Pie I'm on my second piece in a row within about 10 minutes. Because it is that delicious- it cannot be helped! Plus, I have to make up for not having pie on Pi(e) Day (March 14th, as the number, Pi, begins with 3.14 (so excited for 2015, when it will be 3.1415!!!!! - the exclamationpoints are purely grammatical to reflect my eager anticipation, not mathematical which would mean a crazy long line of multiplication. I was in the math club in high school, believe it or not.) This pie is raw, so it is really pretty easy to make- not that I've ever tried, but apparently making real, baked pies can be really complicated (hopefully I will never find out ). Four layers of delicious! Plus crust and shaved chocolate- winner, w
Nut Free Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies (vegan, GF, raw) Good Saturday! Hope you've all had a super week- mine was not bad. Some ups. Some downs. No neutrals. But mostly ups, I would say, really. One of the ups, and downs, came in the form of these brownies. The up? Very tasty. Very healthy. Can be very easy to make. The down? I'm a whiner when it comes to anything culinary (other than directly experimenting with Zimt up-and-coming recipes- that I love. Even when it is chaotic and involves me making
Vegan Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies When I was finishing up my first year of uni, I was sorting out what to do with my incredibly long stretch of academic-free freedom. Four months seemed like forever and I definitely needed the break after a gruelling first year at fancy business school. I'd organized a volunteer trip with a few friends and knew I would be working that summer, too. But I
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread- oil free, vegan, and breakfast approved! If you're in Vancouver right now, you know today is a perfect one for three things, in combination: 1. a good book 2. a hot cup of tea or coffee 3. this banana bread (you will know after you try it ) A few weeks ago, I drove past a grocery store where bananas were on sale for a ridiculously low price. Organic, fair trade bananas- for $0.19/lb?! Y
What's better than delicious cake? Delicious healthy cake, of course. I decided to make a zucchini cake, studded with chocolate bits to celebrate my loved ones' tastebuds on my birthday. It just makes the cake more rich, in a way, while allowing you to get some greens in! That's right- just eat this cake and you get your 5 to 10 a day. (Kidding. But it's a start.) This cake is healthy- it isn't gluten free (though I bet you could make it that way if you really wanted to do so), made with coconut sugar and coconut oil, and has Zimt all in it to make you happy. Oh, and zucchini. Speaking of which. Here is why zucchini is a good idea:
raw vegan cheesecake made with zucchini. Don't run away yet! I promise you that you will not be disappointed, should you accept the challenge (but it isn't really a challenge as it is so easy), to make, and eat, this cheesecake. [gallery ids="423,424,426"] [gallery columns="2" ids="427,425"] Zucchini, like my personal favourite - cauliflower, is an incredibly versatile veggie- rather neutral in flavour, it lends itself really well to a variety of cuisine. Including cheesecake cuisine. I had totally forgotten about it until I searched for a recipe for vegan cheesecake on Pinterest and found one like
