Yoga+Music {notquite365} Destroyer of the Void by Blitzen Trapper – Recipe Edition!

It’s Wednesday and that means the Recipe Edition!

+++++

The quest for yummy dairy alternatives continues. I thought I’d share my favorites so far.

+++++


Finally, a yogurt I can eat. Texture is pretty close and the taste is great. I’m looking forward to trying other flavors.

Oh.My.Goodness. I totally thought my ice cream eating days were over. Not so, friends. Not so.

CHEESE!

Ok, really it is cheese-ish. The cheddar is like American cheese slices when it is melted.

MELTED! Whoo-hoo. I have been missing melted cheesy foods.

The thing I miss most about dairy is the creamy texture. Who knew? So I’ve done a crazy amount of texture/taste testing the last few months. So far, this is the creamiest alternative milk I’ve found. Plus, it’s delicious.

+++++

Do you have any recipes or favorite {dairy free} foods to share?

Yoga+Music {notquite365} – Roomful of Smoke by Leslie and The Badgers — Recipe Edition!

It’s Tuesday and that means the Recipe Edition!

+++++

As you many of you know, I have not indulged in sugar, dairy, soy, gluten, vinegars, and stimulants for two weeks now. The only thing that I’m really missing is dairy. Not to worry though, my beloved dairy and I will be reunited mid February and I look forward to it.

So many people have been sending me recipes for me to try. Today’s came from my favorite TGBTS guest poster, Vanessa from The Beet Goes On. She found it on Bay Area Bites and thought it might be tasty.

Boy, is that an understatement.

My sweetheart thought this was delicious and he claims to hate dates. So don’t let the dates in it put you off. It honestly tastes like a milk shake – a sweet, creamy, almond-y, almost caramel milk shake.

+++++

Vanilla-Date Smoothie from Bay Area Bites
Adapted from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

Drink and wish you had more.

Yoga+Music365 (day12) – Middle Cyclone by Neko Case

  Each Tuesday I’ll share an easy, nutritious recipe so you can join me in the home-cooked self-care.

Since my first week back, I’ve slipped a bit back into my habit of reading awesome blogs (Fluent Self being my favorite FREE therapy) in the morning before work.

Sometimes I get so caught up in the online goodness. Then I realize if I don’t leave RIGHT NOW, I’m going to be late. Which of course gives me a little adrenaline rush before work as I’m then rushing around trying to figure out at the last-minute what I’m going to grab quickly that will still nourish my body.

It’s not pretty, but I’m most alert first thing in the morning so that’s when I like to read the most… so sue me.

Here’s my easy quick healthy breakfast for the week.

Manna Bread (cinnamon date) with butter, jam or honey. I slice it, heat it for 45 seconds in the microwave or lightly toast it, spread and go. I eat it in the car (I know, I know) on the way to work with a warm cup of Pacific Natural Foods Almond Milk.

By the time I’ve gotten to work, my belly is full and I feel like I’ve taken care of myself even though I was a crazy rushed person.

Tell me: Do you have any super quick, easy, delicious food ideas that help you feel well cared for? If so, leave me a comment and I’ll try them too.

Today’s yoga brought to you by Madeleine at It’s All Yoga in Sacramento. Gentle Yoga with Madeleine is like getting a little kiss on the forehead after a long day. In other words, just what I need at the end of the day. LOVE her!

Today’s music is Middle Cyclone by Neko Case.
