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.

Are you ready to give it a try?

Happy Monday Friends!  And what better way to celebrate a Monday than with ICE CREAM!

I Scream, You Scream, we all….. you get the picture. Ice cream is awesome. nuff’ said. Especially if it’s vegan and refined sugar free AND you don’t need an ice cream maker. I wanted to create a vegan/dairy free ice cream that was no churn and I also wanted to add that miso flavour (it pairs so well with nut butters-cashew, peanut, almond). Thus, this recipe was born.  Are you ready for the best vegan ice cream?

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?

CASHEW CREAM CHEESE (vegan & paleo)

Cashew Cream Cheese.  Is anything better than creamy, satisfying cheese, especially if it is dairy free?  Cashews are used abundantly in vegan cooking- anywhere from cheesecake, to pasta sauce, to sour cream and even ice cream.  Usually cashews replace a dairy product because they can be blended until they are soft and smooth and easily take on different flavours.
