  1. riiaeatsright: Updated my photos! :) Riia’s Raw Vegan Mint Chocolate Fudge Cookies These cookies were inspired by Girl Scout Thin Mints! They have a fudge like consistency but I find that it makes the flavor richer! Hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 1/4 cup Cashews 1/4 cup Walnuts 1/4 cup Oats 1/4 cup Chocolate chips (any type…semi sweet, carob, cacao, etc) 1/8 cup Cacao powder 2 tbsp Agave nectar 1 tsp Peppermint Extract How To: In a food processor, blend together cashews, walnuts, oats, and chocolate chips until they form a floury texture. Add in cacao powder, agave nectar, and peppermint extract. Process again until dough forms. Shape batter into cookie or truffle shape. Refridgerate. Enjoy! :)

  2. yogi-health: fitbeliever: “World’s healthiest cookie” 6 calories per bite! The World’s Healthiest Cookie This dough takes two minutes to whip up, so in under 10 minutes, you can be scarfing down delicious coconut flour cookies. And really, check out these stats! Nutritional Info *Update: There has been some question about the nutritional info, and for clarification, these having only 6 calories each is based upon a bite-sized cookie. If you only make 8 cookies out of this recipe to make them more traditional sized, they will have about 15 calories each. Still a calorie bargain, if you ask me! Per bite based on 16 bites Calories: 6 (about 8 or 9 with chocolate chips) Fat: <0.5 grams Ingredients 2 Tablespoon coconut flour 2 Tablespoon mashed banana or applesauce (I prefer banana. Personally, I think applesauce gives them too much of an apple-y taste. That’s just me.) pinch salt stevia or other sweetener, to taste 1/8 teaspoon baking powder 3 Tablespoon almond milk, or milk of choice chocolate chips Directions Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, mix coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add in masked banana or applesauce and stir.  Add in almond milk, one tablespoon at a time until fully incorporated.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Drop dough by tablespoon or teaspoon, depending on how big you want them, on a parchment lined baking sheet. (I used a silicone mat.) Flatten the dough into cookie shapes. Bake in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes.  Let cool before scarfing them all down. By the way, you are allowed to eat the entire batch! ;) I want to make these. With lots and lots of chocolate chips.

  3. saraeats: The Basil Hemlock Loafvegan, 1.5 lb Store bought bread tastes like crap. And bakeries are awesome but you can’t always keep track of the ingredients, and you don’t always have access to them depending on where you live, so making your own seems like the best thing to do! We use a bread maker for our bread, but you don’t have to. If you want to bake it in the oven it tastes just as delicious! I’m kind of going nutty for our bread right now, so I started with a basic loaf and I plan to get a little crazy and try Gluten Free, FRUIT BREAD, and cinnamon swirls! I hope you enjoy this loaf as much as we do. What You Need 1 1/4 water 3 cups all-purpose non-bleached flour 2 Tbsp vegan margarine 1 1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp basil 1 1/2 tsps yeast (we use “Bread Machine Yeast”) What You Do 1. Add the ingredients to the bread maker in the order they are listed, except for the yeast. Make sure you measure as accurately as possible because that makes a difference! To add the yeast, make a little pocket in your ingredients and add the yeast there. It should look like this: 2. Select your preferences, (we do basic white, medium crust) and hit start! 3. Depending on your bread maker and a bunch of other factors like if you measured everything properly, etc, etc- you should keep an eye on the loaf in the beginning stages. When it starts the kneading cycle, take a peak and make sure it’s not to dry and lumpy. If it is, add a tsp (or tbsp) of water, depending on how much is needed. Start by adding a small amount, because a little bit really does go a long way. If you add too much and it starts slopping around and is too wet, don’t worry, just add a tsp or two of flour and it will fix itself. You want it to smooth itself out so it looks like a proper loaf when it’s done.

    مآ أجمّل أنْ تصمتْ ..

    فيْ ؤجهْ منْ ينتظرْ منِك الخِصَام .. !
    وما أجمل أنْ تضحك
    فيْ وجهْ منْ يُنتظرْ منك البكـاءْ ..!

    How beautiful is it to stay silent
    When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
    And how beautiful it is to laugh
    When someone thinks you are going to shed tears.

  7. PietaMichelangelo1498-1500High Renaissance Five feet and eight inches in height, Michelangelo, who was thirty-three at at the time, went and personally picked out the block of marble this was sculpted from. This is a sculpture of the scene of the lamentation. Mary is huge from the lap down to hold her son in her lap. She was sculpted to be young because Mary was young and was worthy to be young. This piece is located at the Vatican. It is also the only piece of art that Michelangelo has actually signed.
