Raw Creamy Cashew Dip - "Kurma Dasa" by The Blender Girl

This is one of the jewels I picked up from Kurma Dasa. This phenomenal raw vegan dip is right up there in my top 5 dips of all time. BIG statement. But true! It is a fantastic example of the “blend and chow in under 5 minutes” philosophy. It is so quick and easy, bursting with flavour, and incredibly versatile. Another added bonus is…

Creamy Vegan Potato Salad by The Blender Girl

I recently shared this potato salad with my friends Kris, Michelle, Emily, Nicole, and my father-in-law, Bob; and the reaction was unanimous–“Oh Wow! I could eat this salad every day. This is a keeper. You need to put this on your site!” At the risk of appearing unashamedly self-congratulatory, I have to agree with my discerning…

Mango Coconut Bliss Smoothie by The Blender Girl

If you are in search of a taste of the tropics – look no further than this little glass of Heaven. I wanted to call it “Taste of Hawaii” but thought that was a tad corny. But I have let the cat out the bag now, so I suppose I may as well commit! Anyway, just throw everything in the blender and puree until smooth and creamy. I tried…

Raw Vegan Broccoli Salad by The Blender Girl

I share this recipe as a delicious way to serve up raw broccoli. I have used sunflower seeds and raw almonds. But you could use any nuts you like. For the dressing I have listed the quantities that I like. But you might like it with a bit more of a kick, and want to add in a bit more vinegar, lemon juice and sweetener. But this blend…

How about Baked broccoli-cheddar rice dish by J. Gino Genovesi

There are many recipes of this kind in many books as well as on the internet. It is difficult to say where this dish started but it is served many ways and very often. it is quick, good and a delight to serve. I tried using different vegetables, but broccoli seems to go best with cheese and rice. One can use other toppings,…

Tembleque (Coconut Custard) by Kiki Thompson

Guest Post by Anthony Thompson This weeks post is different and special at the same time. I asked my other half to do a guest post. Anthony has been to many parts of the world including Puerto Rico. He lived there for nearly 2 years and has grown to love the food, people, and the culture. So, being that this weeks recipe comes from…

Colorful Raw Green Superslaw by The Blender Girl

This is my favorite Summer salad. It is fresh, raw, simple, quick, easy, nutritious, satisfying, refreshing and absolutely delicious! This simple slaw is a good balance of vegetables for me. But you could really add anything you wanted. Spinach and rocket work well. I just love the nutritional density and texture of kale. You could…

Vegan Tofu Berry Custard by The Blender Girl

It just doesn’t get much easier than this delicious summer pudding or custard. It can be prepared in less than 10 minutes (and that includes getting the ingredients out of your fridge), and is absolutely delicious. I got this recipe from my friend Alison about 10 years ago, and my snout has paid homage to her fabulous berry custard…

Maple Peach Cookies by AmandaE

Delicious melt in your mouth peach cookies. These are perfect for those peaches that are on the verge of going to "the dark side" or for people looking for a non-pie peach recipe.

Summer Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler by Kiki Thompson

This weeks recipe was inspired by all of the rhubarb recipes I’ve seen pop up within the last week on blogs that I am following! With summer FINALLY around the corner here in Utah, I decided to come up with a “summer” cobbler. The recipe that finally got my baking pants into gear was this Rhubarb & Strawberry Lemonade recipe I checked…

Vegan Lemon Asparagus Soup by The Blender Girl

I have always been a fan of the ubiquitous potato and leek soup. I thought I would try expanding on that idea a little, and adding in some greens. This soup is just delicious. When I think about grilling asparagus, I always serve it with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Why should this soup be any different? I started making this…

Home Made Velvet Ginger Lemonade by The Blender Girl

When the universe gives you lemons – make naturally sweetened ginger lemonade! I remembered a frothy Lebanese lemonade my friend Christine made with a whole lemon. The zest from the whole lemon adds a strong, aromatic citrus essence, and the freshly grated ginger adds a special zing that makes this lemonade extraordinary. Those of you…

Vegan Gluten Free Skordalia by The Blender Girl

Do yourself a favour and partake of this simple rustic treat inspired by the fabulous spud. As anyone will happily agree – a spud is never a dud; and these mashed spuds are simple and sublime. There are a ton of fantastic skordalia recipes out there. A lot of them use crusty bread, which is of course, is a recipe for disaster, for…
