I made my own coconut butter last night! Long gone at my days of wishing I could just pay for a $9 jar of white glory! Here’s the thing though. 2 cups of flaked coconut turns into about 3/4 cup coconut butter so honestly $9 isn’t all that bad of a price. I didn’t take [...]

I have been experimenting again. I loved my last batch of nut butter so much I had to add even more goodness. For those of you who aren’t into twitter (or who don’t follow me) I made a batch of Brazil nut- cashed butter last week and it was divine. I used 8oz of each [...]

I apologize for the photo you are about to see, but only sort of. You see it doesn’t look nearly as good as it tastes, and the recipe for one of the ingredients makes up for the not so photogenic food. This was my breakfast:

Taking a cue from Curly Top’s PBU and HEAB’s ABU I devised a way to get my beloved Cashew butter into a creamier state. Cashew butter is prohibitively expensive, and when I make it at home in my food processor it never gets to spreadable consistency. Mainly because thus far I have refused to add [...]

Vegan Italian Spice “Parmesan”

I bought a bottle of Parma! a while back. I had just gone off dairy, and for the most part didn’t eat dairy much anyway…except for my beloved Parmesan cheese. Needless to say I wasn’t that impressed with Parma! I got a little sad after eating a bite as I knew it couldn’t take the [...]
