Will it Creami? Amazing 3-Ingredient Silken Tofu Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream

How to Make that Viral TikTok Maple Syrup Olive Oil Caramel Sauce – With a Twist!
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.
Easy and Delicious Gluten-Free Vegan Ginger Snaps and Hermit Cookies
This easy recipe can be done two ways to yield either delicious vegan and gluten-free ginger snaps, or vegan, gluten-free hermit cookies.

Of course, they were neither vegan nor gluten-free, as are ours.

Super-Easy Creamy Vegan Salad Dressing and Dip Using Shelf-Stable Boxed Soft Silken Tofu!
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.)
Easy and Delicious Baked Vegan Pumpkin Custard

Easy Vegan Gluten-Free Faux Sourdough Rye Bread
After perfecting our gluten-free vegan bread (no yeast, either!), we were hankering for some rye bread, and we figured out that our basic bread recipe was hearty enough to masquerade as rye bread if we just added some caraway seeds.

And that’s when we realized that our magic secret ingredient could do the trick!

And you get honest-to-goodness gluten-free white bread!
Soy Curls with Green Chili Pumpkin Seed Sauce
