Delicious recipes.

We had Homemade Dairy Free Blackberry Thyme Ice Cream:

The ice cream was pretty easy to make. I chose the coconut milk option. I used my blender and put it in the freezer. I think I over blended it because it too a really long time to freeze. Perhaps my freezer is really weak. Needless to say, it took longer than two hours to freeze. I would highly recommend using parchment paper in your freezer container and then pouring your mixture in. It was really hard to scoop out the ice cream. It tastes really good. I'm shocked this is vegan!

We made homemade Empanadas (image left). I added more lemon to the recipe and replaced the macadamia nuts with walnuts. It tasted so good! Definately add to pieces of rainbow chard to one wrap. This will make it so the filling doesn't easily fall out. I highly recommend making this. It is super easy and yes it takes less than ten minutes to make.





We also made some delicious homemade soup from Life As a Strawberry. We added leeks to the recipe too (image right). It was DELICIOUS!! We made some cashew cheese to go with it and added some fresh basil and thyme for garnish. 


 




Today I decided to clean my spices. They were a gift three years ago. You know the spices that come in a package? I'm not sure how old the spices were before I received them. Bay and I decided to start new beginnings with fresh, organic, spices. Mmmm... I can't wait to write with our black crayon on the top to identify each spice. Yes!! I love new beginnings.

Oh and here are some amazing websites to eat plant based- vegan foods here.
