So pretty, so healthy, so EASY!! The almond pulp adds protein and really amps up the yum factor. You could substitute any other fresh or frozen fruits you like but this version comes out a beautiful sweetheart pink. It was almost a shame to drink it! (I said almost…)
Ok, I realize it is not cold outside. I KNOW, it’s still summer! I am with you on this, trust me. But I was suddenly struck with a craving for hot chocolate and I was not about to wait for the dreaded winter that I still refuse to believe is just around the corner. This stuff is rich, creamy and chock full of antioxidants. You won’t even miss the dairy.
Being perfectionists (ok, some of us) and nerds (yep, all of us!), this seemingly simple recipe became both an obsession and a frustration. but after many tweaks and tries, I think we have it down to a science! This can easily be made gluten free by subbing out the muffins.
Made with zucchini spiral “pasta”, sautéed asparagus and creamy avocado this this healthy dose of green vegetables is balanced by rich coconut milk, fragrant toasted walnuts and cooked lentils creating a vibrant and satisfying meal.
Crisp, satisfying and not too sweet, this granola is an excellent use for leftover almond (or other nut) pulp. The addition of oats and coconut give it substance and balance the chocolate and cherry flavors nicely. This granola smells amazing as it bakes and works especially well over yogurt, as well as over oatmeal or just eaten out of hand as a snack.
Trust me your coffee will love this. I am not a milk drinker, but I love this milk. Sarah IS a milk drinker (she lives on the stuff) and SHE loves it. You will love it too… Try it once and you’ll never go back to half and half again!
With a spicy and substantial filling, balanced by fresh veggies and rich cashew sour cream, these wraps can be filled with any combination of toppings you like. I refrain from referring the the lentil-walnut filling as ‘meat’. These wraps don’t need to pretend to have meat to be inviting, they are amazing in their own right! Skip the cheese to keep them vegan and lactose free.
Rich and light, with a moist crumb and a hint of coconut, these brownies are an awesome way to use the leftover almond pulp that is quickly piling up in the freezer (if your freezer is anything like mine). I used 100% cacao cocoa power which makes an intensely dark brownie with a rich chocolate flavor. You will want to hide them!
Spicy and rich, this is the ultimate in meat-free comfort food. In fact, this dish was so tasty and filling that Dave didn’t even want any of the leftover grilled chicken breast that I offered to appease my ‘meatitarian’. Don’t skip the Harissa paste, it really makes the dish an explosion of flavor!
Spaghetti without the spaghetti! A quick and light way to serve the zucchini that is in abundance right now. The sauce is bright and fresh and pairs well with the zucchini “pasta”.
Hearty and filling. This dish combines shrimp and chicken with peas and red bell pepper keeping the dish fresh. Cooked in the traditional manner, it forms a nice crispy crust on the bottom. Reheats well (if there’s any left).
Easy enough for everyday use, this milk is my new favorite ‘creamer’ to drink in my coffee. It’s so good and so easy, I have pretty much stopped using half and half altogether. Now I am on a mission to figure out what to do with the leftover pulp (a common theme I am finding out).
