Warm spiced rice pudding
We grew up eating rice pudding almost every Thursday night when our cousins would come over for dinner. It was warm, gooey, vanilla deliciousness.

Strawberry chia seed jam
Jam or jelly, whatever you call it, it’s delicious, but oh so high in no-good-for-you refined sugars. Try this quick and easy chia seed jam instead. It has the added bonus of fiber and omegas from the chia seeds, which act as the setting agent for the jam. You can experiment with substituting other berriesContinue reading “Strawberry chia seed jam”
Cashew cream
This plant-based alternative to heavy cream is extremely versatile and works in many recipes. Cashews are a great source of healthy fats for our bodies.
