Walnut Butter

Back during Brunch Week, I was given a large bag of delicious, raw walnuts. Having some leftover after toasting them for my Pear Sundae, I decided to make some delicious walnut butter.

If you haven’t heard of this phenomena yet, allow me to introduce you to this incredible creamy, vegan, single-ingredient ice cream: Frozen bananas.

My first experience with dates, aside from fruitcakes, was in Israel. One was served to me frozen as a dessert. Let’s just say I like Date Honey much better! Read more...
