Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Nice Cream – Sugar Free – Ninja CREAMi Option
Before I transitioned to a whole food plant based lifestyle my favorite ice cream was mint chocolate chip. I loved the the mint flavor and the texture and flavor of the all the little bits of chocolate throughout the ice cream. As I do with all of my favorite foods I find a way to…
Chocolate Cherry Brownies
It almost sounds to good to be true but you really can make delicious brownies that are healthy too! I have to admit that I haven’t had a brownie in years – or so that was true until earlier this week. On Tuesday we celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary and I wanted something special for…

I wish I could take credit for the brilliant idea to sub cashew butter for dairy butter but I owe the magic to Isa Moskowitz…

The ones I buy have stickers on them that tell what stage of ripeness they are in. You want to buy plantains that are…
