The 5-Minute Strawberry Tofu Cream Cheese Spread is a dairy-free, protein-rich alternative to traditional cream cheese. Made from plant-based ingredients, it is suitable for vegans and lactose-intolerant individuals. This versatile spread is low in saturated fat, rich in antioxidants, and can enhance various dishes, making it a healthy kitchen staple.
This is an amazing draiy-free cream cheese that is lower in fat than the vegan options you find in stores that use nuts as a base. It hits the taste, texture, and thickness profiles of dairy without stealing milk from baby calves. This is a spreadable cheese that can be enjoyed over English muffins, bagels, crackers and so much more or use it in baking recipes.
You are going to love this “white” sauce tortilla chip dip, don’t forget to thin it with some water and try it as a dressing as well! It is low fat, with absolutely no added fat, and if you dehydrate your corn tortillas instead of frying them, you have a whole food snack that eats like a meal!
My very first job was working at Dairy Queen. (Don’t worry, I never use that as a secret password or secret question.) I was always the front counter person, because people loved me for some reason, so that meant in the restaurant that I worked at the ice cream making was my responsibility. My favorite thing to make was banana split topped with candied walnuts of course. That little curl at the top of the ice cream is a DQ signature trademark, and it had to be just right! So, when I had any blizzard, sundae, or banana split to make, I loved to smell the syrups. That smell still takes me back. Say what you want, I loved working at Dairy Queen, and I had the best boss and coworkers!
One of my favorite blasts from the past is lemon curd….it is great as a pie filling, in lemon bars, on toast…on a spoon. haha I was craving lemon curd so much that I could almost taste it. You’ve been there right? Lemon curd is a very rich, very decadent dessert. It has the perfect mix of sweet and tart, with a nice thick buttery mouth feel. It is typically very easy and quick to make. If you love lemons, you will adore this Vegan Lemon Curd Recipe!
This is a nice mellow sweet BBQ Sauce that packs a powerful punch in flavor with just a hint of heat to spice things up. You may be surprised at my two secret ingredients: cinnamon and clove. These bring a really nice layer of flavor that is very satisfying to the palate.
This is a super easy and quick recipe. It is a raw vegan thick and creamy sauce with a smokey goodness that is loaded with flavor! It is excellent on taco salad, but would also make a good chip or cracker dip.
Look at that thick creamy mayo goodness!
Mexican Chili – Roasted Salsa – My aunt Laverne was a beautiful Mexican woman who I loved dearly. She used to make and can (preserve) the best salsa I have ever tasted. Our family nicknamed it “Mexican Chili,” and that is the name it still carries in her honor. She moved away, halfway across the US, when I was younger, and unfortunately, she passed away many years ago. I tried unsuccessfully to get her recipe from her children, but no one had it. I created this recipe in her honor.
My mother used to tell me, “waste not, want not.” I don’t know about you, but I get a little disgusted at having to throw away or compost what was once really good and delicious food! Food that we worked hard to make money to buy or to grow in our garden. Have you ever gotten to the end of the week or the end of batch cooking for the week and wondered what to do with the vegetables that are left over? You don’t want them to go to waste, but you don’t quite know what to do with them either.
