 For the longest time I would buy store bought milks, and mainly almond. Because we didn't care for them all that much, they would go to waste and just get tossed. I never cared for all the additives that are in them, not to mention the issue with using almonds that are gassed with PPO (propylene oxide) rather than steam pasteurized. I would make my own almond milk from time to time, but that too had too much of a nutty flavor for me. So I finally gave in and made my own cashew milk. I took it a step further and made chocolate too. Story over....recipe and sharing is not however!

 What on earth does this mean? Let me first explain how this quote even came about….
I woke up early on a Sunday morning as I always do before I teach my 8 AM yoga class, and decided to sit at my computer looking up some inspiration for my reading for class. I don’t always do this, I normally write my grocery list and prepare my flow, but on this day, I was meant to read these words below and this piece of peace was delivered to me.  Who misses cheesecake?? I did, for along time, and finally gave in and found a recipe that I absolutely love! Best part is, it only has 10 ingredients and is SUPER simple to make. The Minimalist Baker does exactly that, bakes using minimal ingredients. I've made it 4 or 5 times now and fall even more in love with it each time. I've also found my parts of the recipe that I am going to stick with each time I make it, I'm going to share those with you today. All raw, all organic and all the flavor!
 As far back as I can remember, I always felt bad. But I didn’t recognize how bad I felt until I finally felt good! I thought that it was normal to live in an existence where pain, bloating, aches (headaches/stomach) were normal. What finally happened to make me realize I was unhealthy? Taking my then 12 month old daughter (picture above is from her first birthday party) to a Naturopath because western medicine wasn’t offering me anything besides cortisone for her eczema. I’ll get into details, but it began a while back…..
 It's been years since I had sour cream, probably close to 2 1/2, so when I decided to make my own, I almost fell over with joy! I was inspired by my dear friend Jamie, I was at her house one day to do some work on our joint business venture and she busted out the sour cream and ranch dip....with ruffled potato chips! That was it, I decided right then and there I was going to make my own darn sour cream. Mic drop….
 Oh the world of what we eat and how we live, it can be a tricky one. My children and I have been through some pretty trying times when it comes to food, we have to avoid gluten, dairy, eggs and grains. We have been through many elimination diets and have removed a lot from our life. We are no stranger to taking something else out for the good of our body and our soul. Being a yogini, Ahimsa stood out to me very strong. This is practicing non-violence and kindness, I felt it was time for me to make this step for this when it came to my food. I do my best to live this way in every other area, so I decided that I wanted to be vegan, and I prepared just like every other time that I went to remove something. I spent 2 weeks preparing and dove in, here is my journey.
