Crumb-Free Corn Bread


This is a modified version of my very favourite Corn Bread from my former "pre-plant based" life.  I wish I knew where the recipe came from, but I scribbled it in my recipe book years ago and I don't remember where I got it.  What made the recipe so great though, was that it was so moist, and didn't crumble everywhere like most dryer varieties of Corn Bread do.  This was due to the fact that it had a full cup of sour cream in the recipe.  So...here's my plant based version of my very favourite side dish.  I especially recommend it with my Hickory-Maple Smoked Chili, or slathered in my Butterless Honey Butter.

First off, preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit, and line an 8" square pan (I actually used a 9" x 7" pan in the pictures, but that size is not as common) with parchment paper.


Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil, remove from heat, and add cashews to soak.  Meanwhile...




Place your dry ingredients (corn meal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt) in a medium bowl.  Whisk together until combined.



Drain cashews, and place them in a high speed blender, along with 1/3 c water, plant milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar.  Blend together until smooth and creamy.  Add in apple sauce, honey and potato, and cycle the blender once more.


Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and whisk together until well combined.


Pour batter (or is it dough...🤔...after all, it is bread) into your lined, baking pan, spreading evenly with a spoon or spatula.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack by carefully lifting the sides of the parchment paper on either side.  Loosen with a knife first around any un-lined edges, if necessary.  Cut into squares and serve.


Enjoy!

Ban-Apple Smoothie

Quick post today to give you this refreshing Banana Apple Green Smoothie recipe!  And...I'm gonna give you the recipe, because how much can you say about a smoothie.  It's yummy, I promise... So I kind of have a process of how I blend my smoothies.  I own a Vitamix, which I love, and I use it multiple times a day.  I add the ingredients in a couple at a time and put it through multiple cycles.  Here's how I do it: Cycle 1: I start by putting the coconut water and the protein powder (if using) in the blender and putting it through a quick cycle.  See this post for protein powders I like. Cycle 2: Next I add the spinach and start a cycle.  Halfway through the spinach cycle, I add in the peeled bananas through the clear section in the top of my lid that pops off. Cycle 3: Once that is all cycled, I add the apples and the ice.  My vitamix has a setting with a snowflake on it, so I switch to that setting when doing anything frozen (ice or frozen fruit for instance).

Coconut-Cashew Tiger Ice Cream

Hope you all are enjoying your summer as much as I am! I have been DYING to write this post for a while now!  I am absolutely loving this ice cream recipe, and I know that it'll be a hit at your house too.  I have always been a fan of Tiger ice cream, and when we went plant based and dairy-free, I wasn't about to accept the fact that I might never taste it again.  I have been experimenting for a while now, doing a load of researching and looking for natural food dyes and gut health helpers, as well as ratios of flavours etc.  After lots of experimenting, the results are better than I would have expected!  The black liquorice ice cream is coloured with food grade, activated charcoal , which is great for gut health, and the orange ice cream is coloured with both sweet potato and a bit of turmeric to add not just colour, but also anti-inflammatory benefits and a little extra hidden goodness!  I can now honestly say, this one is a gooder!  I will even be bold enough to tell you

"Glory Sauce" (Modified)

BEST SAUCE EVER!!! This sauce is not my original recipe, but I am a HUGE fan of Glory Sauce .  The only problem is, in its original form, it's an oil-based dressing (which most dressings are)...and I don't eat oil.  So...I "healthified" it, and honestly, I like it even better this way, which I didn't think was possible.  The original recipe is served at the Fresh Tracks Cafe, at the White Water Ski Resort in Nelson, BC, Canada, and can be found in their Whitewater Cooks cookbook, which is full of amazingly yummy recipes.  Anyways, I replaced the refined oil content of this recipe with some creamy, natural oils, and the results are pretty amazing!  It's the most versatile sauce ever, fantastic drizzled on pretty much everything.  I eat it over rice bowls, salads, Asian dishes, and I even drizzle it over baked potatoes.  So here it is... First off, I use this Braggs' brand Natural Soy Sauce Alternative rather than actual soy sauce.  It's a g
