Here are the directions for the PlantStrong pancake and waffle mix (you’d be forgiven for assuming it’s “Plant Strong”, rather than the portmanteau of the two). Finding a truly gluten-free and also truly vegan pancake mix is not easy, especially when so many of them then include adding eggs in the directions.

Has this ever happened to you? You open a brand new package of Lightlife sliced tempeh (also called ‘tempe’ by some), such as the bacon flavored tempeh, and it is covered in what appears to be black mold or some sort of black spoilage? So you freak out, check the ‘best by’ date (which is likely still weeks out), and try to figure out just what could have gone so horribly wrong?

In case you’re not familiar with the Ninja Creami, it works a bit differently from other home ice cream makers. With many home ice cream makers you have to freeze a relatively large, double-walled metal bowl, then put your ingredients in and process it. Of course, you still need your ingredients to be frozen with the Creami, but instead of having to freeze a big old bowl, which you will need to refreeze after you use it before you can make more ice cream, the Creami ingeniously has you freeze your ingredients right in the pint (or “larger pint”, depending on which model you get) containers in which you will blend and also store your frozen confections. This also means that you can have several in your freezer, pre-frozen and ready to go! Brilliant!!

How to Make that Viral TikTok Maple Syrup Olive Oil Caramel Sauce – With a Twist!

Share or save some yum!

A vegan caramel sauce recipe made with olive oil and maple syrup?? Yes! And our twist on it brings it to a whole new level of foodgasm!The Internet is a’buzz with @fitgreenmind’s viral TikTok video showing a very simple recipe, or hack if you will, of taking olive oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, and turning it into smooth, delicious caramel sauce. Now, this is not as outlandish as it may seem at first glance. Traditional caramel sauce recipes nearly all call for butter, cream, and sugar. In other words, to make a delicious caramel sauce you need fat and something sweet. In the olive oil and maple syrup recipe, the olive oil takes the place of the fat from the butter and cream, while the maple syrup provides the something sweet, and together they provide the mouthfeel.

One of the coolest things about the shelf-stable, aseptic-boxed Mori-Nu organic silken tofu is how utterly versatile it is. Yet this unsung hero of the vegan world is often overlooked, passed by on store shelves for its water-packed, refrigerated cousins. Hopefully our easy creamy vegan salad dressing and dip recipe will change that! (By the way, the Mori-Nu organic silken tofu is considered ‘soft tofu’; it doesn’t say it anywhere on the box but that has been confirmed by Mori-nu. This is important to know as there is such a thing as firm silken tofu and even extra-firm silken tofu.)
