These cookies are really delicious and they're healthy! They're a cross between an oatmeal raisin cookie and a peanut butter cookie. You can add in raisins and chocolate chips if you like, or leave them out if you don't. There's no added sugar in these. The sweetness comes from the banana. I prefer to use … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
This is only my second order from Vitacost, so I won't say I'm obsessed yet, but I love the huge selection of beauty products. I'd say they have a bigger selection and cheaper prices than Amazon when it comes to natural hair care and makeup products. I have a recurring order of vitamins for everyone. … Continue reading Vitacost Haul
As a vegan, it's always a little weird going to people's houses for meals, especially big holiday gatherings. There's a fine line between politely declining something, and seeming like a snob. I always get a little nervous, just because I don't want people to think I'm being pretentious, and I also don't want anyone to … Continue reading Raspberry Cheesecake
The first thing I had was a glass of strawberry kombucha. And then one strawberry and pineapple smoothie (almond milk, pineapple, strawberry, chia seeds, Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder). I took my vitamin and spirulina with two full bottles of water. I made a batch of mostly raw 'kitchen sink' cookies. The base is made … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
I started the day off with some blackberry kombucha. I've been brewing it at home, and I bottle it in old bottles I've saved. Then I took my multivitamin (not pictured) and 6 spirulina tablets. I had a mixed berry chocolate protein shake. It was 1/2 frozen banana, 8 oz of almond milk, 1 scoop … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
This is one of my favorite desserts because it's so easy. This weekend we had peanut butter chocolate chip, but the possibilities are endless. For Valentine's Day I made a Cherry Garcia flavor with frozen bananas, frozen cherries, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. We always have bananas in the freezer, just in case, but they … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This recipe is for raw fig bars. First, because I used to love Fig Newton's as a kid (maybe because in my mind I thought they were healthy), and second because once I tried a raw fig bar from One Lucky Duck, my life changed. Just thinking about them gets my mouth watering, and they … Continue reading Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
I spent most of the weekend in the kitchen. Recipes will be on the blog. Lots of raw vegan goodness! Fig bars will be up tomorrow: Macaroons: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites: Candle 79 veggie burgers. No recipe, but you can find it in their cookbook. Date caramel: Vanilla Cashew Cream: Chocolate cookies and cupcakes: … Continue reading Weekend in Pictures…Food Edition
I've been making kombucha at home for a few months now and it's going so well! I bought this multi-green one because I've never had this flavor before and I think it'd be really neat to make a spirulina batch at home. Plus it was on sale and I like to use these bottles to … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
Yesterday, I tried out the online grocery shopping from Giant though Peapod. There are a bunch of things I really liked about it and a few things that make me reconsider using it regularly. First thing I saw when I logged on what my most recent/common purchases. Pros: Convenience. I love the online interface. It's … Continue reading My First Experience With Online Grocery Shopping
