Vegan Pulled Pork

First of all, I have my friend Jordy to thank for pointing me towards this AMAZING recipe, and guiding me through buying the proper type of Jackfruit. Jordy has a delicious vegan blog that can be found here!

As promised some time ago to many friends, here is the link to Vegan Pulled Pork! This is a great recipe to bring to potlucks, or feed guests. It pairs nicely with a homemade coleslaw, or Sarah's Raw Marinated Salad!

I haven't had the chance to experiment with different sauces for the Pulled Pork yet, but I have rootbeer in mind. Stay tuned!

Bare Butter Bliss- Now Available to you!

      In recent weeks I have peaked the interest of some people in my community. The more I share my fresh home made nut butters, the more word spreads about them. So I decided that I'm going to roll with this interest and sell them for an affordable price. Here's the details:

Almond, Pumpkin & Sunflower seed butter, and Roxy!

- Bare Butter contains only all natural ingredients and is freshly home made to order!

- Delicious creamy texture not found in store bought brands

- Raw almond butter in Vancouver stores runs up to $14 after taxes... and for mixed nut butters even more! 

- I will deliver within Vancouver on my no emissions bicycle!

- Return your jar to me and re-use it! 

     By choosing nuts that are raw you are vastly reducing the amount of toxins that nuts can hold because of their processing. They are pasteurized and often bleached to retain colour and reduce the visibility of rancidity. With all this processing, their good omega fats turn into bad saturated fats.
Here's a chance to support locally made quality nut butter, as well as sustainable practices like recycling and zero emissions delivery.

I am selling 1 pound jars (500g) of Raw Almond butter for $10 and the mixed nut butters for only $12. Including delivery!
So! I want to make delicious nutritious nut butter accessible to the people in my community at an affordable price...why not give it a try!? You are supporting local community growth and sustainable distributing practices!

How we work together:
To help keep the cost down for everyone, I am asking for a one time $5 deposit. That buys you 2 jars and as long as you keep returning them with each order we just keep the cycle going. Option #2: if you have a 500ml wide mouth glass jar that you can give me when I deliver your first jar of butter your deposit will only be $2!

Feel free to go crazy with combinations!... my favourite is Almond, pumpkin, and sunflower seed!
I accommodate special orders and sizes.

Raw Marinated Cabbage Salad

      This week I turn to cabbage. Cabbage is well know for its healing properties. It is high in calcium, sulphur and vitamin C and E. It is used as a remedy for indigestion, helping to rejuvenate the digestive tract, and skin; especially in the form of sauerkraut.

      Raw cabbage can be tough and not so desirable to chew, this recipe is top notch because the cabbage is crunchy yet soft and so yummy! You can make it in the morning and set it in the fridge for lunch or dinner, or make it an hour before you serve dinner. I always make lots to save for the next day when its even more flavourful!

Raw Marinated Cabbage Salad

1 small purple cabbage

1 medium zucchini

1/4 cup raisins

1/8 cup sesame seeds

1/8 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds

Dressing:

3 Tbps sesame oil

3 Tbps Olive oil

1/4 cup Braggs amino seasoning (if you don't have this...get it, I use it every day in a variety of dishes as a healthy alternative to soy sauce)

1 Jalapeno seeded and chopped

3 cloves of garlic diced

juice of 1/2 lime

1 Tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup 

In a food processor using the slicing blade, put cabbage through in pieces small enough to fit in the feeder. Alternatively, chop cabbage up finely, place in large bowl. Quarter lengthwise the zucchini then thinly slice, they should look triangular, place in blow. mix in all other salad ingredients. In a small bowl stir together all dressing ingredients and pour over salad. Place in fridge and let marinate for at least one hour, or let the flavours sit all day.

Hope you enjoy this delicious easy salad!

It's Date Night!

Ever since I purchased a food processor about 3 years ago, I've been whipping up Date Balls in every shape, size and flavour... usually with whatever is in my cupboard! These days, its almost as though I have conditioned my roommates to respond with excitement to the motor turning on. 

I love making Date Balls because it's such a fun snack to share with the people you love! Today I will give you a recipe and put a * beside the key ingredients that you should always include, the others, well... get CREATIVE! This is the best part, what ever you feel like adding is bound to taste good so don't be shy! Most times I throw in anything that will make it a healthy energy ball like Hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax and spirulina.

Cranberry Chocolate Chip Date Balls

3 cups Medjool dates* (these are the best because they are sticky) 

1 cup Almonds*

1 cup Walnuts* (or Pecans)

1/4 cup Buckwheat groats (These add such a nice crunch!)

1/4 cup Dried cranberries

1/4 cup vegan mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup dry coconut shavings (or sesame seeds)

In your food processor add all nuts and grind until they are mostly ground or small pieces. Add the dates 1 cup at a time, until you get the right ratio of nuts to dates. Next add the buckwheat groats, cranberries and chocolate chips, blend until mixed in evenly, about 10 seconds. 

Roll into bite sized balls with your hands and then dip in coconut shavings to cover them. Put them in a container in the fridge for an easy grab snack! 

Enjoy,
