Vanilla Mint Ice Cream

It is now July, and our lovely little garden is even more lush, vibrant, and productive than ever.   Despite all of the time I have been spending in the kitchen and caring for plants, it also seems as if activity on my blog, inbox, and social streams has also been increasing immensely by the day… Each time I look in to say hello, I find even more friendly comments from lovely new people asking questions and offering positive words of gratitude.   I have been feeling so blessed and grateful for...

Ahimsa Providence: Evolution Through Stages of Compassion

This is my attempt at synopsis on how my “darker side” evolved over the years into development of philanthropic endeavours & eventual (ongoing) illumination.   Statement of Disclaimer:  This past Sunday marked my 23rd “veganniversary”. With that having been noted, I can neither clearly nor accurately remember a time when my life choices were not ruled by empathy, concern, and the desire to contribute to extension of joy toward all living entities.

Apple Cinnamon “Porridge”

This rather large, raw, & completely vegan brunch was so incredibly filling!  Also pictured here is some of the raw/vegan “butter” I recently shared on the blog, which has since been made by numerous readers & even described as “The Holy Grail of raw/vegan butter” by another blogger (who appears to be neither raw nor vegan). It had been years since having been able to utilise that recipe in any way (there’s little need for margarine or “butter” in a raw, largely...

Raw Vegan “Butter”

This raw/vegan “butter”/margarine recipe is not only quick and easy, but also free of palm & hydrogenated oils. The base is comprised of one of the healthiest (and most delicious) fats available: a very mildly flavoured, raw, unrefined coconut oil. Despite having been unable to eat any of my own experiments over the past few weeks (I have been fasting & juicing only), my “taster” assured me that this particular batch was divine and tasted “very much like salted butter.”...
