Oat-Free Rhubarb Crisp/Crumble
It’s that time of year!! I was gifted some fresh rhubarb last night, so that means… … rhubarb crisp!! (Or crumble, or whatever you like to call it. It’s so delicious fresh from the oven with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!!). Here we pair the rhubarb with some fresh strawberries and blackberries that we had in our fridge, but rhubarb pairs super well with any berry, or even apples - something sweet that plays well with the sourness of the rhubarb. Also, feel free to u

🍋🍮 No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake | Gluten Free Raw Vegan
Deliciously fresh, raw style vegan cheesecake. This one is cashew based - but you can totally sub macadamia nuts instead though it will slightly change the flavour. We kept it simple (we did experiment with adding coconut oil, cocao butter, and agar agar to the filling to help it set up firmer, but in the end we preferred the taste & texture of the original/simpler recipe) and it still sets well & holds its shape in the fridge. We love the extra pop of freshness that lemon ze
