    Highlights of Today: Milkshakes and George Nelson!

    As you might already know, I'm slowly giving our home a makeover! Last month is was our patio {blog post about that coming soon} and now it's the dining and hallway areas! I just ordered the George Nelson Lantern and it finally arrived! It's going to be installed this week. We also bought a few new flatscreen TVs {costco} and once the walls are painted we'll install those, too. My latest project is the hallway/kitchen area that I painted myself. I used a chalkboard paint and we're really having fun with it! Just one wall, though!

    Also, we made milkshakes today! Mmmmmmmmmm. I just love homemade, raw vegan milkshakes. Sounds kinda gross to the average person, no? But wow, it's the freshest, creamiest, icy-iest, sweetest thing ever!

    The best part of the shake is the addition of the one whole vanilla bean! It gives it that fresh, gourmet taste. Forget that liquid stuff in the amber jar! The bean is the best way to fly!

    MILKSHAKE RECIPE

    2c water
    1c fresh almonds
    1 whole vanilla bean
    ¼c agave nectar
    8oz container Tomberlies {or other brand} raw vanilla bean ice cream
    1 handful ice

    First blend the water, vanilla bean and almonds in a blender on high until fairly smooth. Strain the mixture with a fine mesh strainer so there is no almond pulp. 

    Then add it back into the blender. Throw in the ice cream and ice and agave nectar. Blend again until smooth!

    It's so cold and sweet and full of vanilla!

    This is not an inexpensive milkshake, but it makes a special afternoon or birthday treat for somebody! Cost is about $10 and it makes 4 milkshakes {the size of the ones above}. 

    You can get creative and add some banana or chocolate as well! {I'm a vanilla person}

    ----------------

    Enjoy your Saturday!

      @Dina - OK, so I haven't told anybody this yet, but I'm not doing the eBook. I mean, I MIGHT, but I am going to refund everybody's money instead. It's a long story but I ACCIDENTALLY posted that eBook announcement. I created the post as a draft but somehow it saved as "published". I didn't know this until I saw all these paypal purchases in my email box! So, then I panicked! But I figured hey, it will be fire under my bum that I have needed!

      But I guess it wasn't. I have put so much time into this book but it's not finished. I hate to make people wait! So I am going to use the recipes on my blog starting next week INSTEAD of the eRecipe Book!

      I hope everybody's not sad, but hey, at least now the recipes are FREE! 😉

      Thanks for all of you comments. I am going to email everybody this week!
      Maybe next year when I have more time, I will create another one!

      I am so sad to hear that!! I was really looking forward to your recipes and advice! I feel that I can relate to you and your lifestyle being that I eat raw and have young children...etc. I appreciate you being so honest about this. Often I feel like I wish I had more time to do about half of what I would like to do..I will still look forward to your recipes that you post and just know that I really enjoy them and I do actually make most of them!! Thanks for being so inspirational.

      @Dina - that MADE my day. I felt like a total failure today because I LOST my video camera full of SOO MANY videos of my sons and their huge birthday bash! I honestly feel like the worst mom! I want to cry.

      Your comments helped perk me up! Thanks so much...glad you like my recipes. I have a few raw and non-raw ones that I want to share ASAP from the eRecipe book. Glad to know you like the advice as well, that's helpful, because my book had a lot of that stuff too, on top of the recipes. OK, I will try and get a recipe book out soon - like next year. But until then, I will refund money 😉

      Take care!

    Move over eggs. This tofu scramble is comin’ in hot! 🍳
Just 5 minutes and you’ve got breakfast. So often I get asked for breakfast ideas when transitioning to a plant based diet. This is a great egg sub and is savory and high in healthy protein. 
1 cube medium hard tofu 
1 tsp turmeric 
Salt and pepper to taste. 
1/2 Tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil 
In a frying pan sauté on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Stirring often. Add garlic or onions or cheese. I added spinach to mine. 😋

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautéed potatoes is 💣. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautéed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy
