Currently wishing for…Plant-based Cookbooks

April 11, 2017

I recently returned from vacation and since I’ve returned, my diet has veered a bit off course from my usual healthy options, so a spring reset is in order.  I have my eye on a few cookbooks that are in line with a plant-based diet reset.

Since making it for the first time in early spring, I’ve tried variations using cashews as well that worked nicely (will soon try pecans, coconut and hazelnuts). To make the milk, I did have to look for specific blenders for making vegan food because I found that my generic blender just wasn’t as powerful as it should be and it wasn’t giving me the results I was hoping for. Now, with a new blender, making suitable milk is easy! Read on for tips on how to make your own, I hesitate to call this an actual recipe because it’s so easy.

You probably can’t tell from this post, but most of the time, I really try to stick to a balanced diet and be reasonable about my sweet tooth.  If I were gonna bake something this weekend, I’d take inspiration from these recipes and attempt to make grain and refined sugar free versions that are no are no less cute but a tad bit healthier.
