Cardamom Almond Ice Cream

Before I was vegan, I used to be addicted to this cardamom almond flavor at a local ice cream store.  When I got my ice cream maker, I was determined to make it vegan!  I also decided to make it as low sugar as possible!

You will need:
-4 cans of Coconut Cream (5.4 oz)
-1/4 cup of almond milk 
-2 tbl of ground cardamom
-3/4 cup of raw almonds
-1/4 cup of Swerve sweetener (you can use stevia, but you not as much)
-2 tbl olive oil

What to do:
-Combine all ingredients, except the olive oil, into a blender.
-Blend together until it is nice and creamy and has the consistency of yogurt.
-Start your ice cream machine and pour the mixture into the ice cream maker.
-Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture as it is mixing.
-Let the ice cream maker do it's thing!  Mine took about 10-15 minutes.
-If you live soft serve, you can eat it immediately.  If not, place in covered container in the freezer until it has hardened a bit more.
-Enjoy!

Gluten Free Quiche

I was never big on eggs...however, I did love quiche.  This is a delicious, fluffy, and cruelty free version of a classic quiche!

You will need:
-1 Gluten free, vegan pie crust
-1 block of firm tofu (very well drained)
-2 tbl nutritional yeast flakes
-2 tbl garbanzo flour
-2 tbl tahini
-1 tbl lemon juice
-1 tbl tumeric (for color)
-Black pepper (to taste)
-Salt (to taste)
-Toppings (for this recipe, I used 1 cup of chopped Beyond Meat chicken, 3/4 cup quartered grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup of daiya cheddar, and 1/2 cup white onion)
-1/2 cup of daiya (to top it off)

What to do:
-Preheat oven to 350
-Combine all ingredients (except crust, toppings, and last 1/2 cup of daiya) into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.  Your mixture should be thick...like a combination of cookie dough and pancake batter.
-Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, pour into a bowl and stir in toppings.
-Pour mixture into pie crust
-Top with the 1/2 cup of daiya
-Bake for about 45 minutes, or until it is golden.
-Let cool for 10 minutes.  It will firm more once it has cooled.
