Cowboy Caviar by Lynn Yamamoto

This is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro!

Cabbage Pachadi (salad) by Latha Samu

This is a wonderful and refreshing salad from the book, Great Vegetarian Dishes, by Kurma Dasa. This my favorite and has never failed to please my guests.

Cauliflower and Tofu Casserole by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I really enjoy making casseroles because I like eating foods that are creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I made this dish a couple of days ago and it was a success! Even my “always-eating-meat-and-dairy” parents enjoyed it and trust me this means that it was good! My granny used to make cauliflower casseroles but…

Almonds and plum bon-bons by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

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.

Yesterday I was craving for a sweet creamy ice-cream. Hmm... all I had were some bananas and some leftover almond milk and then the idea hit me ! I made an easy banana ice-cream and the blender basically did all the work.

Multivitamin Salad by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

Two weeks ago I kept a raw week diet in order to cleanse my body because I felt terribly guilty after eating a lot of crap (meat free though) in the mini-vacation at the seaside. It was a great week during which I filled my body with a bundle of vitamins and minerals, although it was a bit annoying that I didn’t have much time for…

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…

Raw Vegan Cranberry Brownie by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I love desserts and because I often eat sweets, I prefer them raw. We all know that all sweets are high in calories, but making mostly raw desserts makes me feel good and guilt-free; this way I know I get plenty of vitamins, minerals and other great nutrients and so I ignore the calories. Another thing I love about raw desserts is…

Raw Vegan Chocolate Fruit Balls by The Blender Girl

My mom and I make these raw fruit balls all the time and they are absolutely delicious. We use raw almonds, cashews and macadamias as our nutty blend. But you could use any nuts that tickle your festive fancy. Just know that each nut mix will yield a treat of a different personality. Roll out these vegan treats. They make great…

Granola Clusters by Megan DeLong

This recipe is yet another accident/experiment from last night when I was trying to replicate a healthy cookie recipe I found on 101 cookbooks. I didn't have everything required so made a few substitutions and I wouldn't call the end result a cookie really, but more a banana bread meets granola! I think you'll have great fun…
