VANILLA NICE CREAM with CHOCOLATE SAUCE

I love ice cream. I loved it before I went vegan, and I love it now that I am vegan. You might be asking: wait, how can vegan ice cream be a thing? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Nope, let me tell ya.

FIERCE SALTED CARAMEL CHEESECAKE

FIRST OF ALL. I just discovered an artist named Blood Orange and omg I am flipping out. Please listen to all their music asap. I hope you love it as much as I do. Moving on.

Salted. Caramel. Cheesecake. It's vegan. It's raw. It's even more delicious than it sounds. But don't trust me: make it yourself and experience the sensual seduction first hand. This recipe is adapted from one in Amy Lyons' second cookbook, Just Vegan Cakes. All Amy's creations are so luxurious and make transitioning into a more rawsome life - if you wanna - really easy because you feel totally satisfied by the recipes. This cheesecake is so decadent it leaves me wanting for nooothing.

PECAN PRALINE BARS with SALTED CHOCOLATE

This recipe is inspired by an absolutely magnificent creation I have had twice from Chau Veggiexpress. It's a vegetarian - almost entirely vegan - restaurant on Victoria Drive that has a menu with a Vietnamese lean. All their savory menu items are incredible: mainly nourishing, steamy rice noodle bowls packed with fresh herbs, vegetables, sauces and served with deliciously salty broths. I have never been disappointed. In fact I've always been delightfully surprised by the aromatics, textures, flavours and colours of my meals at Chau.

VANILLA COCONUT SHAKE with PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.

This recipe is too good to be true yet here it is. In all it's luscious glory: the vegan shake. This is adapted slightly from the recipe in N'ice Cream by Virpi Mikkonen and Tuulia Talvio. It's such a beautiful book. The recipes are simple and delicious and the photos are STUNNING. A must-have if you dig ice cream that happens to be dairy-free. Now lemme talk about this shake for a minute because I am absolutely head over heels.

FABULOUS OATS with BERRIES + SEEDS

I eat oatmeal every morning, and if I don't get the chance at the start of my day, I always end up making it for dinner. I guess my body just needs it's daily dose. I make my oatmeal in a particular way that gets it nice and creamy, and I LOOOVE sweet things (big surprise, look at my blog) so my oats are regularly smothered in nut butter and coconut sugar. I essentially am eating a giant bowl of warm cookie dough each time I sit down with my oatmeal. I am not mad about it.

GREEN SMOOTHIE with BASIL, PINEAPPLE + MANGO

Smoothies give me life. They keep me energized and motivated to get through my days. They give me the nutrition I need to function optimally: both physically, mentally and thus emotionally, because my mental health and emotional state are inextricably linked with my physical well-being. These days I eat and exercise for my mental health. When I make food, my main focus is: how will this make me feel? When I go to the gym or for a bike ride, it's not to alter my body to look a certain way, it's to release endorphins in my brain so I can maintain a positive mental attitude.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PILLOW COOKIES

This post is fully inspired by Amy Lyons' recipe in Fragrant Vanilla Cake. Her recipes are always so decadent and drool-worthy. I gave these to a bunch of friends during the week and everyone seemed to love 'em. I ate about half of them myself so I personally promise: they are delish. I wasn't sure about using so much flax seed in the cookie part but somehow it makes them addictive!? And hey, ya get a bunch of omega 3's or something. Most importantly: you get chocolate peanut butter bites all day long. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CHIP + HEMP PROTEIN BARS

Hey, hunnies. How are you doing? I am feelin myself lately, tbh. A couple days ago I had a kinda blue mental health day but since then I have woken up in the best mood and simply EXCITED about bein alive! This is big for me because my regular mindset is to overanalyze everything and worry about if I said something problematic or if everyone realized overnight that I'm an asshole or have a panic attack over the reality that I and everybody I know will eventually die and no one cares, etc. You know, right?
