Vegan Alfredo Sauce

If there is one thing you might miss when it comes to cutting out dairy is creamy sauces.....mmmm alfredo use to be one of my favorites! I recently just created a recipe where you can have your healthy creamy sauce and eat it too!

You will need:
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup or organic full fat coconut milk (fat in coconut milk is good fat so none of that half fat "light" stuff)
1 cup of whole cashews
1/2 cup of whole brazil nuts
1tbsp of nutritional yeast
1/4tsp of salt
1tsp basil (I used dried)
1tsp thyme (I used dried)

add all ingredients to a food processor and blend for 2-4 mins or until creamy

Mix into any pasta!....I used gluten free rice pasta and added some steamed snow peas!
Enjoy! :)

Curry in a Hurry

I have been trying to post this recipe for weeks now, just haven't found the time and FINALLY here it is!
A spicy dish before it gets unbelievably hot outside....
Start by cooking rice either with a rice cooker or boiling it and chick peas if you prefer to boil yours like me if not canned will do (but try and get bpa free and nothing added)...you will need about 2 cups of cooked rice and a cup of chickpeas
Fry a clove of garlic and a small chopped onion in 2 tbsps of coconut oil, while this is frying...
Chop up your choice of veggies I like to use:
2 carrots, a cup of chunked broccoli and a half cup of sliced bok choy
In a bowl mix 1/2 can of coconut milk (organic full fat is preferred, coconuts have a healthy fat so dont be scared its gonna add pounds), with 1/2 tsp of curry powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4tsp ginger powder, 1/8tsp cumin, 1/8tsp cayenne.
Then add your coconut milk with spices, veggies and chickpeas to the pan.
Let all of this simmer together for 15-20 mins
Then serve the curry on a bed of rice....or add green leafys under the rice and curry and make it into a curry salad!
Caution may be SPICY...Im not a huge spice fan so I try not too make it too extreme but feel free to spice yours up!
