So delicious, and completely dairy free! Mix 1/2 cup Thai Coconut milk (as in the 85% coconut variety, sometimes found in tetra-paks or cans) with 2/3 cup water. Add 1 oz of chocolate syrup (homemade is great of course, and sugar-free even better). Heat to desired temperature using your espresso machine steam wand, milk frother or other available heating method. It’s …
Where did I go and what’s next for TradMama
I have been sooo busy raising littles, you know how it is, right? Really, after the baby was born on April 26th, I didn’t actually finish a post until just this past week. He (Yitzy) is 18 months old now! Let me explain what happened… First, that pregnancy was tough, and after the baby came it was still tough. I …
Make your own Homemade Taco Seasoning packets
OK, so I admit it, I used to spend $1.29-2.99 for a SINGLE packet of the most incredible mix of spices, perfected for fajitas and great for just about any Mexican dish. It was quick and there was no messing it up. I felt a little guilty every time I’d pick up a packet, but the only kosher brand available …
Walmart.ca Groceries – delivered to your door!
I have been trying to upload pictures all morning, but have managed to mess up the formatting in my SD card (running linux and clueless) and can’t seem to get it figured out today, so pictures will follow. Speaking of deliveries, yes, I’m still very pregnant. 40 weeks + 3 days. I have a head cold, and my voice is …
All about homemade Soy Milk
I choose to make my own soymilk for several reasons. #1 being that I can use a traditional system, utilizing soaking and organic non-GMO soybeans #2 being that I don’t want the preservatives, added vitamins and minerals of unknown origin or anything else in my soymilk. Fresh and naked please. #3 would be cost. The cost of 1 batch of …
Creamy Coconut Almond Milk
I just made this milk for a latte, and it was great! I’ll try to do an instructional video later.
A great (not to cold for winter) smoothie in minutes
I don’t know about everyone else, but my family always seems to feel better when we have fruits every day. Vitamin C, fiber, all that good stuff. We get sick less often and eat better all around. A good smoothie can reduce the tendency to snack on unhealthy or less healthy options, plus snacks can get expensive very quickly. I …
Almond Milk Latte plus Almond Ricotta Cheese – Pareve Vegan
So, I am inspired again. I got on a big kick trying to find out everything about espresso machines, drooling over the Breville Infuser (on sale at bestbuy) and after a facebook post asking for feedback on home espresso machines, a friend contacted me saying she had an espresso machine in her basement that I was welcome to. It turned …
Enchilada sauce – Tired of recipes not turning out…
I have been using cheese again and it has to stop. We haven’t been feeling as good, and it’s really starting to show. It’s a lazy thing. I love to cook, but I’ve been in a rut of “as long as it’s quick and kosher, who cares if it’s healthy”. Yes, I make lentil lasagna and tacos, and I don’t …
Respect – I think I know what my husband means now.
We all know men want respect, but we don’t necessarily know what that should look like. I respect my husband deeply, but for all of our 9 years of marriage, I have been confused by the term. I think we had a break through yesterday. The language used to describe the problem finally evolved to make sense to me. The …
