Cashew Nut Butter (raw, vegan and all that jazz)

By Leave a Comment

Raw Cashew Nut Butter is used in many vegan desserts. It is full with the right, good, healthy fats that make it super creamy. Cashews are high in minerals- zinc, magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron…

Cashew nuts take on flavorings really well – add some lemon juice and garlic or chili and make a dipping sauce for all kinds of roasted veggies, meats, quinoa burgers… Eat it with banana, in a smoothie, add it to a salad dressing or chia seeds pudding. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa…

1 cup cashew nuts

½ cup water (less if you want it thicker)

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the nuts in a glass bowl or a jar and cover it completely with cold water. Cover it and let it in sit in refrigerator overnight (soaking it super important for this recipe to work- if you are in a hurry, soak them for at least 3-4 hours). Drain and rinse well. Place in food processor together with about 1/3 – ½ cup of water. Blend until smooth, it takes about 4 minutes.

Store in fridge for up to 3 days.

Oven Roasted Root Vegetable Fries

By Leave a Comment

I tested this recipe on two very manly men who really enjoy their piece of meat and are not a big veggie lovers. And I swear- the entire tray disappeared in a minute! These are also a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. Cut them to look like fries, and they are just as easy to make. Roasting brings out all their natural sweetness and amazing taste. Substitute any root vegetable- parsnip, turnip, beetroot…. Make a spicy dip to make a fancy dinner. You can also add a garlic bulb or two while these little healthy gems are in the making and enjoy the most awesome sweet creamy garlic taste. We will talk more about this next time- there is too much to do with baked garlic! 🙂 Yum.

So- let’s do this!

Quinoa and Kale Burgers

By Leave a Comment

You might have heard about this recipe before, and I really encourage you to try it. They taste even better than they sound. It is one of the meals you want to cook twice as much as you need as it is a great lunch on the go, healthy snack or a good dinner for the entire family. They last in the fridge for 3-5 days and they are also good for freezing, so when you get home really late from work, you can just fix a quick salad and warm them up a little and a great healthy filling dinner is done- all within 10 minutes. You also don’t have to stick strictly to the recipe- just use whatever leftovers you have in the fridge! Add feta cheese, parmesan, carrots or peas. Serve with a salad, potato gratin, as a side to a stew or a warm veggie bowl. They taste amazing in a burger bun.
