Goat Cheese, Fig and Walnut Lahvosh Rolls
December 14, 2012 – 9:35 am
I am a fig fiend, so any recipe involving fresh or dried figs is right up my alley. This recipe is a lunch-apropos roll that brings together the creaminess of goat cheese with the sweetness of dried figs and the crunch of walnuts. It satisfies each taste bud and won’t leave you looking for anything [...]
Walnut and Feta Endive Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
November 10, 2012 – 8:28 am
I like this salad recipe, because the endive (escarole) leaves act as a “spoon” just as much as they are part of the salad itself. This iconic combination uses feta cheese, toasted walnuts, and balsamic vinegar for a delicious and different way to get those greens in. Enjoy!
Raw Cheesecake in a Cup
September 25, 2012 – 8:08 am
This recipe is a raw version of cheesecake, no cooking needed! There is no sugar, no dairy, and no eggs. It retains its richness with the use of nuts as the base, but because the cheesecake is served in “mini” cups, you can keep your portion control in check while still getting the definitive, dense [...]
Fresh Fig Greek Yogurt

As the fig season is coming to a near end, I’m trying to get the most of my favorite fruit while it lasts. Lately, mornings have involved a makeshift Greek yogurt concoction, with figs, walnuts, and honey. It’s a light, fiber and protein-packed way to start the day.

Almost-Raw Vegan Oreos
July 18, 2012 – 8:30 am
Oreo cookies can be healthy! To be honest, the recipe looks more like an Oreo cookie than it tastes. The texture is different and the taste is richer, but it’s absolutely decadent and delicious in its own right. Oreo cookies are generally packed to the brim with absolutely nothing but empty carbs and questionable ingredients. [...]

Walnut and Goat Cheese Truffles
May 30, 2012 – 4:39 am
Lately I’ve been having fun putting together ingredients that are already known to pair well together, only adding my own unique presentation. A classic party cheese plate combo is soft goat cheese drizzled in high quality honey and garnished with a side of whole walnuts. Instead of pulling out the cheese knives, you can just [...]
Mini Raw Cheesecakes
May 1, 2012 – 9:10 am
I’ve always resisted making nut-based raw desserts, because I firmly believe they defeat the purpose of eating healthy, since nuts are extremely heavy and it takes a lot to make just one slice of cake. Just because something has a raw or vegan label does not mean it’s going to do your body good. I [...]
