Grammy's Oil Pastry (from Betty Crocker) by Victoria Prehn

My recipe seems to be a bit modified from others I see on-line. The quantities I use are for a double crust, but for me, it's always been the perfect amount to make just one crust, plus a little extra. Grammy always used the extra to make cinnamon crust rolls for us kids upon arrival (dough with butter, cinnamon and sugar)

Homemade Juiced Juice by K. Garner

Because of oxidation, juice is at its peak immediately after you've extracted it. If you have a juicer, use it because the potency of the vitamins contained therein is way better than bottled juices.

Crumbled Tempeh by John Spottiswood

Ok, for anyone familiar with tempeh this is a super basic recipe. But if you haven't cooked it before, and want a simple, delicious, and flexible way to prepare it, then this is a great place to start. Mark Bittman as this as one of his basic recipes in his How to Cook Everything Vegetarian cookbook. Serve it on a salad, over…

Allergen-free Buckwheat Pancakes by Hilary

Pancakes are probably the gluten-free delicacy I have experimented with the most. They are SO easy and from my experience, difficult to mess up. So many flour combinations and egg-substitutions make perfectly scrumptious pancakes. I feel like I hit the lottery every time I find a new one. And...tonight I found one, so I'm…

Vegan Chocolate Macadamia Smoothie by The Blender Girl

OK – So this shake is absolutely scrumptious. I cannot rave enough about it. This shake is decadent, rich, creamy, and delicious. If you want to make this shake colder, add in some ice cubes. If you want it richer, feel free to get a bit more heavy-handed with the Cocoa – that is for you self respecting chocoholics out there –…

Vegan Brown Rice Banana Smoothie by The Blender Girl

I made this brown rice milk smoothie and it was nothing short of spectacular. OK – so it will be affectionately reserved for the “I don’t care about carb overload” trough for future emotional emergencies. But hey – I might just have to pull it out in times of celebration too! It is really that good. Rich, thick, creamy, and delicious.…

Raw Vegan Red Cabbage Salad by The Blender Girl

I love simple, raw, shredded salads, and this would be amongst my favorites. The first time I ate a version of this salad, it was made, and served to me, by a very proud 8 year old. That is how quick and easy it is. What I love about this cabbage salad is the vibrant colors. The luscious purple of the cabbage, and the fresh green…

Raw Vegan Coconut Date Shake by The Blender Girl

This shake is absolutely scrumptious! Throw some dates in the blender with some bananas, almond milk and coconut water, and prepare for pure heaven. You can substitute cashew milk if you want a richer, more buttery shake, and you could always add a spoonful of coconut butter and lecithin to make it even more creamy. It depends on how…

Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie by The Blender Girl

This is my vegan, gluten-free “apple pie in a glass”. I don’t really know how to do this smoothie justice, except to say that it is absolutely scrumdidiliumptious! This smoothie is absolutely fantastic! This blend captures everything I love about a great piece of apple pie – the creamy, buttery apples with just a hint of sweetness,…

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…

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…
