Raw Vegan Avocado Gazpacho by The Blender Girl

This quick easy Summer cooler is like “liquid guacamole” that kicked me into a pleasure-induced coma that had me “coat-checking” my teeth and dreaming up a recipe for a “taco in a glass”. I have deliberately kept this soup simple. It is deceptively rich – with a subtle flavor that dances across the palate before leaving a lasting…

They are not fried or baked; free from all of the carcinogens, additives and…

Raw Vegan Zesty Lime Corn Salad by The Blender Girl

This raw vegan corn salad is super easy and absolutely scrumptious. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of corn. Well the vegetable variety anyway. I don’t cook with it very often as I can think of so many other more nutritious vegetables I prefer to work with. But there is something about the light zestiness of the lime juice and…

Raw Vegan Key Lime Mousse by The Blender Girl

This delectable raw vegan key lime mousse is SO easy; and it epitomizes the "blend and chow in under 5 minutes" philosophy that I am so fond of. Just throw all the ingredients in your blender, chill and devour. How easy is that? This is one of my favourite allergy-friendly recipes - gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free and…

Bye Bye Blues, A Quick And Spicy Bean Dish by kathy gori

I have a small confession to make. I love trick vegetables. You know what I'm talking about, the orange cauliflower, the red squash, the black garlic. So you can imagine my surprise and delight when the gang at Lunita Farm showed me a basket of dark purple green beans at the Saturday Farmers Market. I'd never seen anything like…

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”! Don’t underestimate the simplicity of this dish. This pesto really is delicious. And the noodle texture is surprisingly similar to regular fettuccine noodles.

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.

The thing I LOVE about this recipe is that it’s quick, easy & Italian It’s one of those dishes that you can whip right up when you’re really not feeling the jive to make a feast after a long day of work (that’s what I did).

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…

Guacamole by Frank Fariello

I spend a lot of time on my blog in wistful remembrances of the delicious fruits and vegetables that I used to enjoy in Italy and, conversely, moaning about the lack of flavor of much of the produce you are likely to find here in the US. But there are times when the New World outdoes the Old. One example is the avocado which remains…
