Raspberry and Blueberry Raw Vegan Cupcakes by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I couldn’t live without fruits! Really! In my opinion fruits are a gift from Heaven! Every time I eat a fruit I thank God for that wonderful gift. I don’t know if it’s that sweet taste that makes me so crazy about them, or that lovely juicy texture, but one thing I do know for sure is that fruits make me happy. As I told you…

Zucchini Fettuccine al Pesto by CrunchyLettuce

Who doesn’t crave pasta? I certainly do. Classic comfort food, right? But no one wants to wake up in the morning with carb face :) The solution: raw zucchini “noodles”!

Insalata di arance rosse by Frank Fariello

This is a very easy recipe that I make most of the time after I finish the almond milk. The little sweet treats are amazing! Don't forget to make them small because they are very sweet.

Cranberries Jam by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I don’t eat any jams made with sugar. Sugar is another thing on my forbidden list. It is toxic! I only use natural and unrefined sweeteners, honey for example. All the jams that I make are made from dehydrated – rehydrated fruits, combined with delicious honey and amazing spices. The inconvenient is that they won’t last too long in…
