Golden Turmeric Milk

June 30, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

golden turmeric milk

It’s no secret that I love turmeric. I use it in my Cheesy Veggie Tofu Scramble, Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream, my go-to Cheese Sauce, Fully Loaded Vegan Mac n’ Cheez, and even a Turmeric Face & Tooth Mask. It’s such a powerful antioxidant that consuming turmeric on a daily basis can aide the recovery of brain function and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, lower blood sugar, curb depression, prevent heart disease, and prevent & treat cancer. No wonder it’s known as “Holy Powder” 🙏

Enter Golden Turmeric Milk. This creamy yellow liquid is a great way to incorporate turmeric into your day, especially if you like warm, cozy drinks ☕️🍵

I actually posted a slightly embarrassing recipe for Turmeric Milk over two years ago. It was one of my first recipes, when I was still sometimes using my phone to take photos for the blog! Check out my fancier, updated version of this drink and give it a try when you want something that is both healing and filling.

Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream

May 9, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

turmeric persimmon nice cream

Summer is just around the corner! Unless you live in South Texas like me, in which case, it’s summer year round 🔥

But I’m okay with that because it means it’s always nice cream weather. I’m still going strong 2+ years into my obsession with banana nice cream and all it’s versatility/deliciousness. I used to make chocolate peanut butter nice cream all the time and I still love it, but lately I’ve been coming up with new flavors 🍌🍨

Enter Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream. There’s something about persimmon that kicks up the nice cream game like a million notches. Persimmon adds natural sweetness, a gorgeous bright orange color, and a creaminess that I can’t even explain but it’s amazing. Bananas are one of nature’s most perfect foods and lends more natural sweetness as the creamy base for this recipe. Finally, ground turmeric balances out all the sweetness from the persimmon and banana, adds to the vibrant color, and contributes antioxidants and other healing properties.

Blend this dish up in just a few minutes, then top with coconut flakes, fresh fruit, and coconut whipped cream. I love having this Turmeric Persimmon Nice Cream for lunch, a snack, dessert – I’ve even had it for breakfast! Aside from being sweet and creamy and A++ all around, it gives you a ton of energy to go about your day.

Turmeric Face & Tooth Mask (video)

March 3, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

turmeric face & tooth mask

I’m super excited about today’s post because I made another video and it’s an easy 2-in-1 beauty hack that is all natural! The majority of skin and beauty products on the market contain chemicals and preservatives, even if they claim to be “all natural.” Our skin, especially on the face, is so delicate – too delicate to be slathering chemicals onto – because your skin absorbs anything you put on it.

Treat your skin kindly and it will stay nice and smooth for you a lot longer. And your teeth too! I can’t even imagine all the yucky chemicals found in whitening products, and even some toothpastes too. That’s why I made a video for this simple Turmeric Face & Tooth Mask. It’s full of amazing nutrients. Try it out yourself and see what you think!

Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole

Oh bright yellowy goodness 💛 🌞 (That would be homemade cashew cheese sauce y’all)

I came up with this recipe on the fly because I wanted something filling and easy to make that I could store in the fridge and eat for several days with zero effort to prepare. And so this cheesy Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole was born 👶

It’s got loads of protein coming from the Beyond Meat chicken strips and quinoa, good fats from the cashews, and anti-inflammatory properties in the turmeric. Plus, it’s utterly delicious and you will wolf it down faster than you can blink 🐺 Not to mention, like all of my other recipes, it’s vegan and gluten free!

5 Little Known Health Hacks

5 little known health hacks

A line up of all my favorite health and beauty products☝️ 💯 🏆

Like, if I was on a deserted island and I could only bring 5 things with me, these would be them (except maybe the coconut products if there are coconuts on said deserted island 🌴 but even then I probably still would…)

You probably already know how healthy these items are – like the healing properties of turmeric when used as a spice, or replacing regular table salt with Himalayan pink salt, or that coconut oil is not only great for cooking but as a moisturizer too!

But these superfoods have other health benefits that you may not be aware of 💁so I have a list of my 5 favorite little known health hacks that are crazy easy to incorporate into your life.

HEY THERE! I’M JILLIAN.

I live near Houston, Texas with my rescue dog Stella! I create cruelty-free recipes that are delicious, to demonstrate that it's easy to follow a plant-based lifestyle. Not only are the health and beauty benefits noticeable, but it creates a more sustainable planet and keeps our animal friends safe & happy. In our spare time, Stella and I also love watching movies, reading, snuggling, and taking long walks! LEARN MORE…

SHOW YOUR PITTIE PRIDE! This design was inspired by own rescue pittie, Stella, who defies pit bull stereotypes every day.

I made tofu Panna Cotta with a coconut mango puree I made tofu Panna Cotta with a coconut mango puree 🥥🥭 I loved the Panna Cotta part - it set well (first time using agar agar), tasted very fresh, and had the perfect hint of almond. The puree tasted good but I should've strained it - it had those stringy bits of mango which I don't like - so Cece enjoyed all the puree 🤪

I spent Earth Day weekend camping for the first ti I spent Earth Day weekend camping for the first time! 🌎 But not by myself -- with 11 other women from all over Texas for a yoga & hiking retreat that I decided to organize because I thought it would be fun ⛺️ We were all strangers and yet we got along great, and I admire their adventurous spirits! Cece had a lot of fun too. This was a completely new experience for her as well, and I think she did great considering she was totally out of her comfort zone. Already starting to plan my next camping trip! 😃

With my volunteer buddy Judy at the Miracle Ranch With my volunteer buddy Judy at the Miracle Ranch yesterday. Judy and I work together every Saturday, usually dumping out the water tubs, scrubbing and refilling them so the donkeys have clean, fresh water. We also help the staff at feeding time. And we kiss a lot of donkeys lol 😄 I think Judy is honestly the nicest person I've ever met! She just adopted Juliet (seen here) and her mom Bracchi. I can't wait until I can adopt donkeys! 😭😭

I sauteed garlic and leeks, added diced potatoes and brought to a boil with water and veggie bouillon. Seasoned with s&p, garlic powder, and nooch. Blended everything together with oat milk.
