Chocolate Cherry Nice Cream (paleo, vegan)

Chocolate and Cherries. The combo that is often overshadowed by the ever popular chocolate/strawberries or chocolate/banana. But trust me! Don’t overlook this amazing combo, especially in ‘nice’ cream form.

I’m not sure why I haven’t shared this recipe with you before but it is what we make in our household ALL. THE. TIME. It is incredibly easy, uses only four ingredients, is vegan, paleo and refined sugar free and can be thrown together in a pinch. Chocolate Cherry Nice Cream will be your next go to dessert!

Are you ready to give it a go?

Green Apple Guacamole

Green Apple Guacamole

If you could only eat one food what would it be?

Mine would definitely be avocados. Guacamole for every meal. YES.

Me and guacamole are true love.

And sometimes, it’s nice to dress my true love up. Like with green apples and jalapeños. Still simple, and yet a little bit extra. This Green Apple Guacamole Guacamole is refreshing, tart and the perfect game time snack!

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!
