Vegan Salted Caramel and Cardamom Latte and my 2019 Book List

It’s that time of year again…

Booklist time!

At the beginning of each year I like to make a list of all of the books I want to read throughout the year.  Doing this helps motivate me to keep reading and keep track of what I have read and what I want to read.  I like to choose a mixture of books on my bookshelf that I haven’t read yet or want to read again, books I get as gifts or while travelling, books I can order from the library, and lastly books that I know I want to keep and can order on Amazon or buy at the local bookstore.

And of course, what goes along with reading books? A cozy latte!  I blended up a warming vegan salted caramel latte with cardamom using cashews and a few of my favourite superfoods.   Sound good? Read on friend for the recipe!

Halloween is coming up fast.  Can we all sit here for a moment and just think about HOW IT’S ALREADY THE END OF OCTOBER?! Let’s just slow everything down today and appreciate that it’s not snowing outside (at least where I am) and there are beautiful fall colours around us and we can eat all of the caramel apples our hearts desire.  Like these superfood spiked caramel apple slices. Let me just say that again. SUPER. FOOD. SPIKED. CARAMEL. APPLE. SLICES.  You dig?

Let’s give them a go!

VEGAN. GLUTEN FREE. PALEO. BLACKBERRY. CARAMEL. PIE.

Do I have your attention?! Good, because you don’t want to miss this recipe.

I always thought pies were hard. You’ve seen those fancy pies with crust folded in intricate patterns? They are BEAUTIFUL, but gosh they look hard to make.  I even swore off pies when I started making galettes (like this Strawberry and Lemon Verbena Galette). HOWEVER, when I thought of this pie I just couldn’t get it out of my head. I had to make it, and make it my way- vegan, gluten free, paleo and open on the top. No FANCY PIES HERE.  Do you want to give it a try?

Orange Cardamom Caramel (with coconut sugar and ghee)

orange cardamom caramel recipe. Made with Ghee and coconut milk. Delicious on ice cream! #caramel #paleo

I spent this past weekend fighting the crowds at the One of A Kind Show here in Toronto.  Despite the hoardes of people I still go each year because it’s jam packed with crafters and makers from across the country and is the perfect place to buy gifts for the holidays.  I appreciate practical gifts or gifts that provide an experience but every once and awhile it is nice to give something just because it’s beautiful.  Here are some of my fav finds from the One of A Kind Show that make great presents (including to your yourself!)
