Vegan Jalapeno-Rhubarb Chutney, Ingredient-Challenge Monday

What an amazing weekend this was!  Not only did we enjoy a fabulous Easter filled with great friends and fantastic gluten-free and dairy-free food; I was fortunate to review the amazing Elana Amsterdam’s new cookbook (pre-release!) and announced our new website, which is dedicated to our bi-weekly challenges.    Beyond having a centralized location where […]

Raw, Vegan Almond Butter

Tonight, because my feature recipe is a two-part masterpiece, I wanted to take a moment and break it up a bit…partially because this first portion requires its own explanation, partially because this portion of the final two-part recipe is so fantastic, I want you to be able to find it over and over again!
