A few weekends ago we were super happy to host both sets of our parents over our house for dinner. We have been so busy lately it was nice to all get together 🙂 It was really great to see everyone and everyone enjoyed the deelish vegan meal I put together! Awesome!! All goodness!
We started off with a Raw Vegan Caesar Salad. YUM!! I haven’t made this in over a year and it was soooo good!! I doubled the recipe and kept the rest of the dressing in the fridge for a weeks worth of salads and dip for carrot sticks! You know when you eat the same food over and over and you don’t want it anymore — that did not happen! It was disappointing when we finally finished the dressing 🙂 YUM!!!
Check out the recipe here Raw Crisp Caesar Salad with Pinenut Parmesan. DEEELISH!!

Garlic & Herb Cauliflower
Recipe adapted from Tofu n Sproutz
- 1-2 heads cauliflower
- 2-4 cloves garlic, peeled
- handful fresh herbs (a few sprigs rosemary, parsley & sage)
- 4 Tbs olive oil
- salt
- 2 cups fine, dry, seasoned breadcrumbs – fresh not seasoned
1. Break cauliflower into small florets and place in a large bowl.
2. Put garlic, herbs and olive oil into food processor and mix until garlic is completely blended.
3. Pour oil mixture over cauliflower; stir until all cauliflower bits are evenly coated (Note: It works best and breaks less cauliflower if you toss with your hands until evenly coated).
4. Pour breadcrumbs over cauliflower; toss carefully again until all breadcrumbs are stuck on to cauliflower (Note: Depending on how dry the crumbs are, you might need more crumbs; cauliflower should be evenly coated and dry).
5. Lift carefully onto a shallow sided 9 X 12″ baking pan; roast at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until tender-soft when pierced with a fork.

Summer Corn is Back!! Yeah!! I love Corn Chowder but I decided to make creamed corn tonight! YUM!!! It was really good, although I think I overdid it a little on the cayenne, so that is why I am recommending a pinch not a few shakes like I did. You could also make this creamier by adding soaked cashews into the base before blending. This could also be made sweeter by blending in some dates as well, depending on how you like it. Enjoy!

I haven’t pulled out the spiralizer in a long time! During the raw part of the cleanse I was inspired to break it back out. YUM! I missed these zucchini noodles, so perfect, light and tasty! I love Peanut Sauce sooo much but when I make it at home I normally make it with Almond Butter so it is much healthier for us. Still comes out soo amazing 🙂
See these recipes for more inspiration on making Zucchini Noodles: Fig Fennel Pasta, Amazing Raw “Peanut” Sauce and Zucchini Noodles, Raw Sweet & Spicy Sesame Noodles, Lemon Basil Pesto & Raw Zucchini Pasta, and Raw Zucchini Noodles with Pesto and Sun-dried Tomatoes.
Raw Zucchini Noodles and ‘Peanut’ Sauce II
1/3 cup almond butter
2 garlic clove, minced
juice of 1 lime
3 Tablespoons agave nectar
3 Tablespoons Nama Shoyu
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
In a blender puree together almond butter, garlic, lime juice, agave nectar, Nama Shoyu, water, ginger, red pepper flakes and sea salt until mixture is smooth. If needed add more water one tablespoon at a time to reach a desired consistency.

Love Cleansing! This latest 6 day juice cleanse went wonderfully. I felt amazing and so full of energy. I always feel so good that I hate breaking the cleanse. But I was hosting dinner last night for my inlaws and my parents so I had to eat of course. I started out with a green juice before yoga and then afterwards I enjoyed the most deeelish figs ever!!! Perfect way to break my cleanse! YUM!
P.S. Post on the dinner party to come 🙂

Tomorrow we are starting the Juice Cleanse portion of the July Cleanse, so this was the perfect last meal before a week of Super Cleansing!!
One of my pet peeves is when a salad is full of huge pieces of lettuce that make it difficult and sloppy to eat. Here is one of my versions of the chopped salad. Super easy, tasty, nutritious, colorful and you will even look pretty eating it. 😉 Perfection!
Cranberry, Cabbage & Almond Chopped Salad
1/4 of a green cabbage, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1/4 cup almonds
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Juice of 1 lime
2 Tablespoons flax oil
2 Tablespoons agave nectar
1/3 cup red onion, minced
1 large avocado, chopped
Place all ingredients into a large food processor and pulse-chop until chopped. ENJOY!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous July 4th Weekend! We had sooo much fun at a fabulous wedding and fun times in Montreal. Loved it! I will be posting on our vaca soon. Stay tuned.
In honor of the heat I wanted to post this perfect, refreshing summer salad!! I love watermelon and mint! So light and such great flavor! The longer you let the salad combine together, the better it is. YUM!
It was perfect the way it was, but I plan on trying it out with some Vegan Feta and chopped Heirloom tomatoes later this summer.
Watermelon & Mint Salad
3 cups seedless watermelon cubes
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, rinsed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients and toss together.
