Non-dairy creamers

Taste testing went down over the summer (I know, I know, that was so long ago!) and I’m ready to offer you my thoughts on the variety of mainstream non-dairy creamers on the market.   Ready for reviews?    Wild Wood soymilk creamer Pros: plain flavor didn’t distract from coffee/tea thick texture mixed well with beverages organic (but not advertised as such – oddly enough?) low sugar content (1 g per serving) no sodium Cons: long ingredient list after soymilk (maltodextrin, tapioca starch, etc.) lacking in flavor (it was more bland and less soy tasting… Read more >

Staying on track for the holidays?

In case you need some statistical (slash numerical) motivation…   This information is meant to be fun so use it however you want…but don’t make yourself crazy.  It’s just food.  If you pass on pumpkin pie because it takes “26 minutes to burn off those calories” I will be semi-angry with you.  But if you pass on 3rd and 4th servings of pumpkin pie because of this info, then I support your self-control.  🙂

Readers request: tofu

  Question: I’ve seen you prepare tofu, but it doesn’t appear you cook it and you just use it as a smear on bread or something – is it okay to do that with tofu (not cook before eating)? I am one of those weird people who thinks tofu tastes good plain.  But most people like it baked, fried, or cooked in some way.  However, to answer your question, no, you don’t need to cook tofu.  When you buy it, technically it’s already been cooked.  Tofu is made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the… Read more >

Something I owe

I’m making good on my outstanding debts. Here’s the long promised coconut cashew butter recipe. Coconut Cashew Butter 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes 1 cup raw cashews 1 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup water First I pulsed the coconut and cashews for 5 minutes.  That’s a long time.  I scraped down the sides between each minute session. After it started to get thick and wet I started adding water in 1/4 cup increments. I added the water while it was pulsing (leaving the top on and just pouring the water through the shoot). Depending on… Read more >
