What is Dahl???

It's vegan  (or can be) and it's Indian, but I just made it with my own ingredients.  Meh who cares, I made my dish even before looking up what dahl is.  I had tasted the dahl made at The Naked Sprout. and decided to see if I could replicate it, without knowing what was in it.  I'm proud to say I'm happy with the results.  Now I just need to find out how off or close I actually was.  I know mine was slightly different because I didn't have any chick peas or lentils left in my house (apparently those are the main ingredient) go figure I make dahl without them..
I used crushed tomatoes, a can of beans, and a can of coconut milk, then I just added sweet potato, carrot, celery, onion, grated zucchini, parsley (I'm not sure why, it just looked so pretty in my fridge I wanted to use it) and curry powder. 

Well it looks weird I must admit, it tasted fine. But I think if I did it again, I would cut back on the tomato and add something to make it sweeter.  I would also steam the sweet potato first and obviously add chick peas and lentils.  It's kind of more like Dahl Soup! 

Raw Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream (for breakfast)

So I told everyone that I would be going vegan AND raw today!  Ha ha, look at the date however.  I do love vegan food and raw food but I can't give up salmon or rice just yet!  But in honor of april fools I made strawberry ice cream for breakfast.  It was so good, I had to share most of it with my kids! 

So I did manage to get into my young coconut this morning.  Not too bad.  I shaved of the top, made a couple of holes (to drain the coconut juice), then used the bottom of my blade to crack the top off, then I just pealed the inside out with the spatula. 

I found these yummy snack at the local grocery store!  Awesome find if you ask me. The kids love them.  GF, Vegan and raw! score and 3$ a bag!

Hard to see what I mashed into my bullet, but about 1/3 of the coconut flesh, 1/2 the coconut juice, a handful of frozen strawberries, a tbsp of chia seeds, a scoop of vegetarian protein powder, juice of 1/4 lime and some water to fill.

Blend, scoop, serve with buckwheat snack.  (I actually got 3 cups like this) so my kids happily ate this all up!

Surprisingly creamy!  BUT no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, and vegan!
