Sichuan peppercorns give this dish a sort of “numb spicyness”…you kind of have to experience it to understand. These peppercorns aren’t spicy in the “hot spicy” sense and can usually be enjoyed by people who can’t tolerate spicy heat, since they’re a different sensation altogether. The dish is traditionally made […]

Banana ice cream has got to be my single favorite thing to do with the seemingly millions of bananas I tend to acquire. For example, yesterday, I filled an entire reusable shopping bag with them since the grocery store was selling the “overripe” ones at half price. “Overripe” bananas are […]
Let me just start by saying…kale chips have seriously changed my life! If you need to get more greens in your diet, and you’ve tried salads, tried green smoothies…kale chips just might be the way to go. They certainly were for me! I make them all the time and have […]
Cashews are kind of like “vegan dairy”. When you need something creamy, whether it’s a sauce, cheesecake-like texture, cheese-like flavor, etc, there’s probably a delicious way to do it with cashews. Never had a cheesecake made of nuts? Today is your lucky day 🙂 This is for anyone who wants […]

I loved the flavor of Creamsicles® as a kid…the orangy vanilla-ey taste brings back the nostalgia. Now that I’m a bit older and a LOT healthier, I don’t eat those anymore. I still miss that particular flavor from childhood, and luckily, it wasn’t that difficult to recreate. This works really […]
I have always loved chocolate. Since adopting a mostly raw diet, though, it’s been rare that I get to enjoy it, largely because I think it’s silly to pay $10 for a bar of raw chocolate from the health food store. So, I started to look into making my own. […]
