Coconut ice cream makes an excellent real food dessert. It’s bursting with healthy coconut oil, it’s allergy-friendly, and it can easily accommodate whatever substitutions you might want to make. Plus it’s a really fast dessert to make, which is a huge bonus when you’re already spending a lot of time making all of your meals from scratch.
I don’t remember when I first started making coconut ice cream, but I know that I’ve made hundreds of batches. Coconut ice cream is kind of my specialty.…
Have you tried my fantastic coconut oil fudge yet? After I’d made that recipe many times, I decided to switch it up a bit and add some peanut butter. (Because peanut butter and chocolate is, of course, one of the best flavor combinations.) This peanut butter coconut oil fudge is a delicious twist on the original: all the chocolately goodness plus rich, nutty peanut butter flavor.
Like my other coconut oil fudge recipe, I love this recipe because it’s really simple to make and is a tasty way to add more healthy coconut oil to your diet. It also keeps really well in the freezer, so I usually make a double batch and then we get to enjoy it for quite a while.…
Hello there! I hope you’re enjoying your summer so far.
Things have been so so here. My health issues continue unabated. But we don’t need to talk about that now; there was quite enough of that last month. If you take them OUT of the equation, though, things are pretty good. 🙂
This is a great time of year for FOOD! My garden is booming. We live in a duplex right now and have a pretty small backyard, most of which is devoted to our garden.
Right now I’m growing tomatoes, summer squash/zucchini, yellow pole beans, cucumbers, and herbs: basil, mint, rosemary, oregano, sage, thyme and marjoram.…
The other day I felt like making ice cream. Since my chocolate cashew ice cream had been such a success, I figured I’d try making another batch of cashew ice cream. I started out trying to make vanilla, but that was just tasting sort of meh, so I threw in some cinnamon.
Oh man–that was definitely the right decision. This cinnamon cashew ice cream is so good! I know I say that about all of my ice cream recipes, but it’s still just as true. 🙂 (What can I say–we like ice cream! And I don’t post it here unless it’s really good.) I think my cinnamon coconut ice cream is amazing, too, but if you like cinnamon you definitely need to also give this one a try.…
Have you tried cashew butter? If you can’t or don’t eat peanut butter, cashew butter is a delicious replacement. It’s creamy and deliciously flavorful. I mostly use it to make these cashew butter chocolate chip cookies, but I also like it on apples or just straight off the spoon.
Making your own homemade cashew butter is really easy. It also much less expensive than buying pre-made cashew butter.
I make my homemade cashew butter with organic roasted cashews that I buy at Costco or Trader Joe’s. You can also make raw cashew butter, but I like the flavor of the roasted cashews so I haven’t tried that yet.…
