Grilled Caesar Salad (Vegan, GF)

This is a healthy twist on a classic caesar salad. During the summertime, I am not a fan of turning my oven on. I usually keep things raw & fresh or I love to do my cooking outside on the grill! Grilling the veggies for this salad just enhances the flavors and warmth of this salad. I love how the char of the romaine lettuce and the tangy dressing taste together in your mouth. 

Strawberries & Cream Cheesecake (dairy-free)

I get really excited when I make a raw dessert. Even though I have been making them for years, I still get amazed after each creation how rich and delicious they taste without any dairy. I get excited curating desserts using whole foods, natural sweeteners, and dairy-free alternatives to share with my friends and family. […]

Roasted Strawberries & Rhubarb with Coconut Whip Cream

Strawberry and rhubarb combinations always bring me back to a happy time in my childhood where I would help my Papa in his garden and then my Nana making jams and pies in the kitchen. My Nana made the best strawberry and rhubarb pie and jam I ever tasted. One bite of this fruit pairing brings me right back to this time and always puts a smile on my face.

Simple Cashew Cheese

I first discovered nut cheese while studying in at the Raw Foundation Culinary Arts & Nutrition Institute. Our first day we enjoyed a plate of “cheeses” with dehydrated raw vegetable crackers and I was completely hooked. I would have never guessed that it was not dairy, we had an array of soft and hard cheeses to sample and I loved everyone. 

Pineapple Chocolate Chunk Nice Cream

What is there not to love about Nice Cream? It is a rich, creamy, and dairy-free dessert you can whip up in minutes when you have a craving for something sweet. You don’t need to add sweetener if you don’t want too and the flavor combinations are endless.  In it’s most simplest form, nice cream is frozen banana’s that are blended to make a type of soft serve.
