We wanted to offer you some…
On top of socca pizza or tossed with zucchini noodles, this creamy non-dairy ricotta is a beautiful thing. Just saying. I never like to see the leftover pulp from making home made nut milk go to waste so I keep coming up with different ways to repurpose anything that gets left behind. In this particular recipe I…

After my first bite of these chocolates, my eyes widened and I actually said to myself “are you KIDDING me!??”. I couldn’t believe how delicious they were!

Mostly, everyone nowadays has heard of probiotics – but do you really know what they do for us and why we should be consuming them? Over the past few months Zuzana and I have been quite consistent on always making sure there are some seeds or nuts soaking or sprouting. Either to make some fresh…

Christmas cookie baking has been a tradition in my family ever since I can remember. Our traditional Czech holiday baking includes lots of butter, eggs and icing sugar…not really the most plant based friendly or heart healthy ingredients.
