I am fascinated with the story of Jordan Rubin.  He is a book author, and the founder of Garden of Life; a whole line of vitamins, supplements, protein shakes, and so much more.  In fact, he is raising grass fed beef now too.  I do not use any of his products or beef, but I follow his company and story with interest.   His story is nothing short of miraculous.  He basically cured himself of...

Italian Roasted Cauliflower

Since I began roasting cauliflower it has become a weekly vegetable.  You can find my go-to recipe here.  However, I found that when my main dish had an Italian flare to it, my regular recipe didn't quite fit the bill.  So, enter....Italian Roasted Cauliflower.   This really isn't much of a recipe at all.  I don't measure or anything like that.  You can adjust the seasonings as much or as...

admin July 21, 2013 3 Comments
I’m all about saving us dairy free folks some money.  So I spent some of my own to see just how good this Go Veggie "cheese" by Galaxy Nutritional Foods is.  After all, it is priced a bit less than Daiya, so if it is good, I would switch.  Read on to see if I will just do that.   I made a pizza with black beans. The package claims it will melt and stretch.  Well, it melted TOO MUCH!  It...

It’s very rare that I purchase dairy free, factory made, frozen treats at the store.  But I made the exception to my rule during my last trip to Trader Joe’s and bought this Mango Sorbet.   This sorbet is creamy, smooth, refreshing and satisfying.   It hit the spot on a hot day; on a busy day with no time to prepare food.  Even if you are not crazy about mango, I bet you would like this...

I love cooking summer food!  AKA…the grill!  What is better and easier than firing up the grill for a simple meal of protein and vegetables!?   So simple and fast…great for a hot day when you do not want to heat up the kitchen or for a day at the pool and not much time in the evening!   Grilling chicken is not hard.  It only takes a little forethought in making a marinade.  Granted,...

So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk vs. Silk Pure Coconut

We always have a couple containers of vanilla flavored coconut milk in the house.  I usually buy So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk, but lately have purchased a few containers of Silk Pure Coconut Vanilla Coconut Milk.  I thought it would be fun to do a comparison.  The information is taken from the containers.   How they are the same:  Both state a serving size is 1 cup, have zero...
