Currently craving warm, rich, veggie filled soups. Here’s some recipe inspiration in case you’re craving the same thing!
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. I’m not a vegan and don’t have plans to become one, but I love veggie centric cooking and cookbooks that are less about deprivation and more about cooking with veggies with creative and innovative ways. Read on to see my cookbook wish list.
Nut milk has become increasingly popular recently, especially considering how many people are changing their ordinary diets to one which is plant-based. With the enormity of veganism, there was a definite need for more plant-based kinds of milk and now those have been provided. Since the Nut milk (typically Almond milk) was one of those staples I’d purchase from the store on a weekly basis until I realized earlier this year that it’s so easy to make on your own. 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.
