Dressings

I always feel like a sucker when I buy dressings, because I know I could easily make my own, and that they'd likely be tastier and healthier. I also feel like I could make the amount I need; whenever I buy a bottle of dressing, we end up with a bunch that sits in the fridge for a year until I end up tossing it.

I plan to continually add to this post as I find more and more dressing recipes I enjoy.

1/4 cup tahini

Best smoothie ever? Coconut-Lemon Cheesecake Smoothie

After a long absence, I'm back. The tradition of celebrating Veganuary is still alive and well, all these years later!

Over time, this blog became a place to store some tried and true vegan recipes. At some point along the way, I discovered the potential of Pinterest to do the same thing and I stopped posting here. However, I do sometimes come across recipes I love that aren't on Pinterest, and I'm always meaning to add them here. So today, on a cold, rainy-slushy January day, I find myself finally doing so. ..

Now, onto our featured recipe, the Coconut-Lemon Cheesecake Smoothie. Is this the best smoothie ever? Possibly. I'm a sucker for cheesecake, and I love the fact that the recipes doesn't call for any kind of milk, using bananas and cashews instead to achieve a creamy consistency. This recipe comes from the cookbook: Vegan Reset by Kim-Julie Hansen.

3/4 cup coconut water
