How to Open a Coconut and Make Raw Coconut Milk VeganMoFo #14

put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up...

Fresh Coconut is a delicious, fun, and healthy treat!

For any athletes out there reading this, coconut water is actually better for you than Gatorade. Coconut water is the perfect solution for anyone looking for electrolytes after working out.

Today has been a beautiful day that started with some much needed and loved rain!
With the official start of fall just three days ago and the rain this morning, we are finally getting into my favorite season!

Autumn!

Beware the pumpkin filled recipes coming soon :D

But for today's video we are making fresh raw coconut milk and I'm going to share with you a part of my world when I get to run in the beautiful rain!

Mango Colada VeganMoFo Day #13

Fruity alcoholic  beverages are fun.
They are sweet, yummy, full of empty calories, and leave you with awful headaches the next morning.

That being said, they are still delicious.

Lucky for us, many fruity alcoholic beverages can be made without alcohol and with fresher healthier ingredients.

So this is my version of a healthy raw Mango Colada!

Mexican Pot Pie Pockets VeganMoFo Day #11

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls are VEGAN!

What a surprise, what a delight!

Even though these go outside of the healthy realm a little bit, everyone deserves a decadent treat once in awhile. So today we are making a pot pie pocket out of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls stuffed with a corn and bean mix.

These were a fantastic dinner that even my non-vegan boyfriend enjoyed.

You could use these crescent rolls for other pot pie recipes as well.

Zucchini Fries VeganMoFo Day #10

French fries are a weakness for me. These delicious oily bits of goodness are almost always vegan, which means, I eat them all the time.

(They aren't always vegan though. Outback Steakhouse uses beef fat for everything it fries, including its french fries. If unsure at a restaurant, always remember to ask.)

But when I am at home and craving french fries, I like to make zucchini fries instead. These are a delicious and healthier option to potato french fries.

Follow the link, make these fries, and thank me later :)

Raw Chocolate Magic Turtle Shell and Banana Split Recipe VeganMoFo Day #9

Today's video is the last video in my 3 video miniseries on how to make a Raw Vegan Banana Split!

The chocolate magic turtle shell sauce is probably the most versatile component. It makes a great topping to ice cream, but also makes delicious sauce for brownies, cakes, and really anything that needs a chocolate kick.

Coconut milk makes the most beautiful whipped cream.

Dairy free. Lactose free. Cruelty free. But Flavor-full.

Curry Stuffed Potato Skins Vegan MoFo Day #6

Here's a little Indian spin on an American classic.

I love potato skins but the fillings are more often than not very un-vegan.
So I decided to make a potato skin overflowing with flavor and vegan delciousness.





These potatoes seem a little complicated and they do have a few steps, but they are actually very simple.

My boyfriend fell in love with this dish which just goes to show that vegan food is yummy for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Vegan Ranch Dressing and Chopped Salad VeganMoFo Day #5

Ranch was always my favorite dressing as a child until I discovered French dressing.

But since French is mostly high fructose corn syrup and food coloring and Ranch has dairy, I haven't consumed either of these dressings in quite awhile.

I knew that I could make a vegan version of Ranch though. If there was vegan cheese, why could there not be vegan Ranch?

So here's my recipe for vegan Ranch. It's a little sweet and simple, but I love it. Don't forget to check back on Friday when I will show you how to jazz it up a little to become the perfect dip for my zucchini fries!

I'm still learning, so I would love to hear feedback from everyone!

Bruschetta Pasta with Blistered Tomatoes Vegan MoFo Day #3

Bruschetta is probably my favorite way to eat tomatoes.
And that's because they are smothered in balsamic vinegar.
