Blueberry Cherry Crumble
Posted on July 10, 2009
I chose to go with a messy “action” photo of this crumble to demonstrate just how much my husband liked it! He came home from work and devoured the section you see missing above.

This is my favorite ice cream. It’s vegan. It’s vanilla. And it’s yummy. I’ve been making this ice cream for the last couple of years. Way back when in my New York days, my raw food friends turned me on to the fact that cashews make an amazing substitute for dairy. While I love this

Purple Velvet Torte

It’s amazing what you can do without any flour! I made this gluten free chocolate cake using beets. Being “Deceptively Delicious“ I fooled my husband.

Raw “Tapioca” Pudding

Chia seeds are my new favorite food! Rich in fatty acids, these seeds contain more omega-3′s than any other vegetarian source. They are also quite high in anti-oxidants, minerals and fiber.

These gluten free Pumpkin Pie Muffins are, of course, a favorite of my younger son. When he was little, he ate so much pumpkin and winter squash that he turned a slightly orange hue. Luckily, he’s back to normal now. I often forget how much I love cooking with pumpkin until fall arrives. Well, fall
