Toasted Cinnamon Hazelnut Milk (Vegan & Paleo)

Thirsty Thursday you say? I am skipping the alcoholic happy hour and treating myself to some milk. Yes, milk. Toasted Hazelnut milk with Cinnamon to be exact. And trust me, you will want to too (It’s divine!). Hazelnuts are so luxurious and I love using them (See my Adaptogenic Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles). I have another recipe up my sleeve that I can’t wait to share which will be coming in a few weeks but for now, let’s get milking! Are you ready?

Pumpkin Cashew Cheese Sauce

Cheese! Ooey, gooey goodness. So tasty you will want to lick the bowl clean!

I have never been one for those mystery ingredient vegan cheese substitutes. They never really made any sense to me. If I need to avoid dairy for my health why would I put said mystery ingredients into my body? So, I have played around with making my own but I think I really hit a home run here. Are you ready for it?

How to Make Ghee

Ever since I found out I was allergic to whey (waaah goodbye cheese), I have been making my own ghee.

Ghee is unsalted butter that is heated, much like clarified butter, but is cooked longer to get that golden hue and delicious nutty flavour. The great thing about ghee is that the cooking process removes the lactose, casein and whey, making it easier to digest for those with dairy allergies(meeee!). I also believe that ghee tastes way better than butter (am I alone on that or are there more ghee>butter people out there?).

If you are looking to add this healing food into your diet, which I encourage you to do, this How to Make Ghee guide will come in handy. Plus it has pictures. Pictures always help.
