VANILLA + COFFEE CREAM TART


Coffee! Vanilla! Tart!

This is a creamy, sweet, surprisingly light and unsurprisingly delicious recipe. As always, it's vegan cuz it can be and raw to maintain all the fab health benefits of the nuts and fruits used as ingredients. Good-for-you desserts are REAL: eat 'em.

A FRUIT SMOOTHIE FOR ANYTIME


FIRST OF ALL: shout out to my next potluck, happening in late January. See all the details here.

Moving on: I was going to title this recipe "A Post-Workout Smoothie" because I made it after the gym today and it tasted amazing, but then remembered that basically any smoothie is good for post-workout fuel, and good anytime at all. Smoothies are generally just a bunch of fruit and other good stuff so no matter what you're doing, planning on doing, or just did: it's PROBABLY a decent time to make and drink one. 

RED KURI SQUASH SOUP with CUMIN, CORIANDER + COCONUT


I want to study food history. (As some of you may know, I am currently getting an undergraduate degree in history.) Unfortunately my university doesn't really offer any courses centred around what we eat, so I feel at a loss. After a handful of conversations with Jack and some thoughts on my own, I realized me + a food history course would probably be a perfect match. I love history. I love food. Food history; I would most likely love. And lately I've been struggling dealing with the nasty bits of human history (i.e. all of human history) where one group of folks (i.e. The White Man) completely screws over everyone else with a seemingly endless myriad of shitty excuses depending on where and when you are looking at. Of course me taking a break from learning this stuff wouldn't make it go away, but for my own mental health I think it'd be good for me to study slightly less tragic realities for awhile. Not to say food history won't come with its dark periods. Yet now we loop back to the issue of FINDING a food history course for me to take... none are showing themselves to me willingly.

MAPLE OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES


I've found some new feminist podcasts to listen to while I walk around a nearby lake. (Sun's out, Em's out.) The ones I subscribed to are Black Girls TalkingTwo Whole Cakes Fatcast, and Another Round. A few weeks ago my friend - who is also named Emily - suggested I start listening to Lena Dunham's new podcast miniseries, Women of The Hour; and I love it so much I had to find more similar-ish content. Obviously I am a[n intersectional] feminist so it's not like the discourses are 100% untouched territory, but I am only at the beginning of my affair with podcasts so feminist podcasts as a content medium ARE basically un-navigated land for me for now.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES -- MMM YES


I have not been posting a lot recently because I'm kinda tired of the internet. In a way. Some days it's better for me to just ignore my computer and go for a long walk. Or at least ignore my email inbox and my blog. But I'm back here once again, to share another delicious vegan recipe with you. These brownies are suuuuper decadent. I don't what else there is to say about them. You need to make them yourself if you wanna understand how good they are. Sorry if that sounds rude... but seriously, you gotta taste them with your own mouth. Words cannot do tastes justice.
