NEW Shiitake Pasta With *Sunflower Seed Cream Sauce!*
|
Hi Reader, As simple as this recipe is, it's also a little fancy. And if I'm being honest, that's the only kinda fancy I like. What makes it fancy? Well, two things: A) shiitakes aren't cheap! But also... B) wine Shallots, shiitake mushrooms, and garlic are sautéed in a bit of vegan butter then tossed with a creamy, blended sauce made with raw sunflower seeds. That's right - no cashews! But the real MVP is the crisp white wine and the way it takes the sauce up a notch. It adds such a smooth acidity that balances the rich and earthy flavor of shiitake mushrooms. Anyway, we think this dish is just all around delicious! Great when you want something special that's actually easy to pull together. 👍

Hi Reader, Well, it looks like I get to eat my words today. 😅 In last week's email I shared this new date-sweetened oat ice cream. I mentioned how amazing the oatmeal trick is for ice cream (which is true), but I also said that I "couldn't imagine falling back on everyone's old standby - coconut milk." And then what did I do this week? I made coconut milk ice cream. 🤦🏻♀️ My intention was to re-test and photograph the oldest ice cream recipe on the blog - because updating old content is...
Hi Reader, If you've been a subscriber for a while, you probably know I have a thing for vegan ice cream... More specifically, a thing for using OATS to create super creamy, healthier, dairy-free ice cream! It's a trick I learned years ago from Miyoko Schinner's cookbook, The Homemade Vegan Pantry. And it works SO well, I can't imagine falling back on everyone's old standby - coconut milk. Flavors I've shared so far: vanilla-maple lemon pistachio butter pecan cranberry eggnog pumpkin This new...
