Vegan Salted Caramel and Cardamom Latte and my 2019 Book List

Vegan Caramel and Cardamom Latte and 2019 Book ListVegan Caramel and Cardamom Latte and 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!

Do you have a favourite nut?  Almond? Cashew? Brazil? Pecan? How about hazelnuts?? I do love my hazelnuts but honestly can’t convince myself to pick a favourite. It’s like picking a favourite child.  HOW CAN I NARROW IT DOWN?! I LOVE THEM ALL.  Which is why I love making my own nut butters.  It is EASY and DELICIOUS with an added bonus of avoiding any unwanted fillers. weeee!!

Peach season is coming to a close.  It’s sad but true.  We had a good run this summer and I even managed to get some late summer popsicles in.  I feel as though I need to embrace the start of fall and school and sweaters and boots and pumpkin spice lattes. However, it is still hot as a sauna outside so instead, I have decided to meet fall halfway with a little bit of summer.  These Roasted Peaches with a Cashew Cardamom Cream do just that!  Juicy, drippy, perfectly ripe peaches with a flavourful fall-like cardamom cream. Easy, simple and delicious.

Honey and Rose Broiled Grapefruit

Do you want to bring your brunch game to the next level in less than ten minutes?  Do I hear a heck yes! IMO, adding rose to anything always takes it up a notch. Like this Honey and Rose Broiled Grapefruit.  Not only does it take less than 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish but it has a beautiful, subtle hint of rose that comes across as super fancy.   We all know by now how much I love my rose and cardamom (Rose Cardamom Latte, Orange Cardamom Caramel) and I think that cardamom, rose and honey combine so effortlessly together. You hardly have to do any work and the ingredients will mingle together beautifully.  Are you ready to try it?
