Apple Duff Dessert (Suggestions for Gluten-Free and Vegan Subs)
Mary Lou Johnson is our Church's star dessert-maker. Here is the picture of a torn-apart Apple Duff she made for a recent Fellowship Dinner... yes, it was delicious! As the Irish baker in the video (following) states, the apple duff is "not the prettiest dessert in the world" but delicious, nonetheless. I've taken the recipe in the video and made it both gluten-free and vegan, and somewhat less sucrose-sweet (by using lower-glycemic-indexed Coconut Sugar vs. regular brown sugar). GLUTEN-FREE and VEGAN PIE CRUST: 1 1/2 C. Gluten-free All-purpose Flour (Bob's Red Mill or Pamela's or other) 1/2 tsp. Salt 1/2 C. Organic Coconut Oil, cold, not melted 4 - 6 T.

Russian Potato-Green Bean-Sauerkraut Soup (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
A bowl of this delectable Russian potato-green bean-sauerkraut soup (or borscht) will satisfy your tastebuds and your need for something warming and filling on a cold fall or winter evening. I have vegan-ized the recipe to eliminate any animal products and use an easy-peasy cashew sour cream recipe that you can find on our Veggie School site HERE , or feel free to use a commercial vegan sour cream (or even the real stuff if you are flexitarian). There is no flour thickener, so no worries about gluten. INGREDIENTS 1 T. Coconut Oil (or veggie oil of choice) 1 large or 2 medium Onions , cut in half and sliced thin 2 C.

Hot Carob Drink
Mmmm hot carob! Have you tried it? If not, you might be surprised to know that it is a creamy, dreamy sweet drink-- like cocoa, but creamier and without the bitterness. And without caffeine. And without theobromine. And, as I discovered, it helps to settle a wonky tummy (otherwise known as 'diarrhea'). Without creating the reverse 'issues' (i.e., constipation). Or, that is what it did in this household. I am not a medical practitioner, just someone looking for a possible help for a problem and finding many indications that a hot carob drink can 'do the trick'. See this article in Healthline , for example. Please check it out with your own health provider. I have baked with carob powder (muffins, cakes, cookies, bliss balls) and carob chips, but hadn't checked out the hot drink. I like it better than cocoa (hot chocolate). THE SIMPLE RECIPE FOR 1 CUP OF HOT CAROB DRINK: For one mug of hot carob: Slowly heat a cup of non-dairy milk on the stove until it ...
Blueberry-Hibiscus Latte
A blueberry hibiscus latte, sweetened with maple syrup, offers a creamy, caffeine-free burst of summer. Perfect for cozy chats or solo sips! Here is another tasty hot drink that doesn't keep you awake at night with a caffeine surge. The blueberry flavor reminds me of my BFF Linda because we went through a period of drinking blueberry tea when we met for our little world-fixing chats back in the day! I actually have quite a few blueberries in my freezer, so this is something I can enjoy often. I guess you could also make this latte using both hibiscus and blueberry tea, but I think most blueberry tea powders have something in them to amp up the flavor and you are probably better off using something more natural. But you get to decide! Ingredients: (about 2 servings) *1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or 2 tablespoons dried blueberries 💚 *1 tablespoon hibiscus tea or dried hibiscus flowers 💚 *1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (to taste) *1/2 cup coconut or almond milk (for ...
