Wellness Nourish Bowl
For us here at the base of the globe, daylight savings was set in motion recently. We set our clocks forward an hour, in order to save as much light as possible. I love this time of year because it means longer days, and evenings outdoors. Whether it be barbecuing (aka Braaing as us ‘Saffa’s’ call it), walks in nature/on the beach or even a stroll around the neighborhood – it’s so great to make the most of this time of year. So, in order to make the most of all these outdoor activities, I don’t preferably want to be cooking for hours in the kitchen. I introduce you to…

Cashew Vegan Cream Cheese
Nick generously gifted me a Mad Millie Vegan Cheese Kit for Christmas, which I finally got around to trying out. I’ve dabbled in a few vegan cheese recipes in the past, but mainly being cheese sauces and my macadamia cheese. I was super keen to test out a ‘proper’ vegan cheese recipe and so this Cashew Vegan Cream Cheese was the result. Before changing my diet and lifestyle, I did eat regular dairy cheese – however I never sincerely missed it when I decided to cut it from my diet. I experimented with a few ‘nut’ cheeses but very rarely would make them – unless it was a cashew cheese…
