Mmm cheesecake. It’s one of my favourite desserts. But as we know, the Brave New Meal cookbook is a vegan one which means this cheesecake is not made with cream cheese. This is made with cashews! When soaked (and blended), cashews give such a nice creaminess to whatever you use them in – which was…

Pistachio Herb Rice
A few posts ago, I made the Tomato Rice (check it out here) and today’s recipe is another delicious rice dish. This is Pistachio Herb Rice and it has just that – pistachios and herbs – as well as some dried fruits. This rice starts off like plain rice, just cooking it in some broth,…
New Cookbook Challenge + Easier Nut Milk
Welcome to my new cookbook challenge! I will be cooking through the book called Brave New Meal from Badmannersfood. This is the same writers as the Thug Kitchen 101 book. For this cookbook, I have decided to go through the recipes in the order that they are presented in the book. The first section is…
PB & J Cookies
Last week I made that delicious peanut butter dip (click here to see that) and here I am again with another nutty recipe. I love peanut butter so much, I could eat it every day without getting sick of it. Today I have made these adorable jam cookies! I saw this recipe on instagram (link…
Nutty Energy Bites (Recipe Redo)
I’m not a big fan of energy bars, but when I’m in a pinch, I love eating Larabars (not sponsored, they’re just my fave). They’re all natural and have no added sugars so they’re super healthy. Today, I made my own version of little larabar bites. I actually tried making a similar recipe back in…
Almond Blondies
Happy Monday. Starting the week with a sweet post seems like a good thing to do. My friend made these blondies the other day and I had to make them as well. They are packed with toasted chopped almonds, a little almond extract and then more whole almonds for a pretty design and extra crunch….
Peanut Butter Apple Rings
If you like ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and raisins/craisins), you will love these apple rings. I’ve taken that classic childhood snack that I’m sure most people have eaten, and turned it into a sweeter/dessert version. This might be one of the easiest snacks to ever exist. The name pretty much says…
Refrigerator Nut Cookies
Every once in a while, I like to try new recipes to make on Passover. These cookies were the new recipe this year. The recipe itself is pretty old – it’s from a cookbook called Second Helpings Please, which is a well known Jewish cookbook written by a well known Canadian, Norene Gilletz. My mom…
Nutty Energy Bites
I’ve been trying to make something interesting almost every day. Cooking has always been a great outlet for my creativity and energy, and I’m using my extra time at home to make more special things. If you saw my crackers the other day (link here), those were really fun and can’t wait to make them…
Recipe #42: Quinoa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Stuffing vegetables is such a great meal idea. You can stuff potatoes, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and onions. So there are lots of choices for the vessel and even more for the filling. You can use ground meat, cheeses, more veggies, grains, rice. You can even mix and match items. If you would like some inspiration,…
