Sugar-Free Apple Pie Chia Seed Jam + Breakfast Parfait. September 5, 2013Angela (Oh She Glows) This is the sort of recipe that takes away all the end of summer blues, at least temporarily. I recently discovered that I can make chia seed jam without the need for any sweetener at all. A natural, no added sugar jam recipe? Yes, it’s totally possible! My little secret? Apples. They are perfectly sweet enough. If you’ve had my other chia seed jam recipes (see my Magical Blueberry Vanilla Chia Seed Jam and Strawberry Chia Seed Jam), you may know by now that this isn’t your grandma’s jam.

[Note: I used white chia seeds in this jam recipe because I had a bag to use up, but rest assured you can use white or black chia seeds.] Apple peel is the new party streamer. Much like my other chia seed jam recipes, you cook down the fruit along with chia seeds and any desired spices. After about 15-20 minutes of cooking down the apples, they will be nice and soft and the mixture will have thickened up thanks to the chia seeds. Then, this parfait happened. 30 Things to Make Instead of Buy. » One Pot Wonder Tomato Basil Pasta Recipe. One Pot Wonder Pasta – BEFORE Once in awhile a dish comes along and stuns you and makes you rethink the way you cook.

This miracle throw-everything-in-a-pot pasta dish has done that for me. You literally throw in all the ingredients for this dish – including the uncooked pasta – and then Flame On! You cook it all together and DO NOT DRAIN the pasta. You just cook it up and starch leaches out of the pasta and makes a rich, warm sauce for the noodles. The other ingredients cook right along with the pasta.

The tastes and textures of this dish are shockingly good. I started with the idea from a photo I saw in this months’s Martha Stewart Living magazine, but I added some things to make this recipe my own and that I think make the dish even better: some crumbled oregano leaves and a little olive oil for richness. I was so nervous about cooking the linguine right with the other ingredients, but I took a leap of faith.

Happy Meatless Monday, all! One Pot Wonder Pasta – AFTER — posted by Donna. Vegan Coconut Raspberry Ice Cream | Vegan Ice Cream Recipe. Vegan Coconut Raspberry Ice Cream You only need 4 ingredients to make this delicious Vegan Coconut Raspberry Ice Cream. The heat has been ruthless this summer. The 100 degree temperature days have been hanging around for far too long. It is hard to cool down, even with our AC running non-stop. I have a little confession, this technically isn’t ice cream because there is no cream involved, but don’t worry, you won’t miss it.

I use Thai brand coconut milk. There are only four ingredients in this recipe: coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and raspberries. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries, but I opted for fresh since they are so good right now. You can serve the Coconut Raspberry Ice Cream right after it is done churning for soft serve ice cream or you can place it in the freezer to harden up.

Escape the summer heat with a bowl of Vegan Coconut Raspberry Ice Cream! Creamy Corn Soup with Queso Fresco and Cilantro. I love this soup, and this is the perfect time of year to make it with summer corn at it's sweetest! The temperatures we were having last week were in the high nineties and soup was the last thing on my mind.

But finally we are back in the eighties, and a bowl of soup is always comforting to me. Inspired from a Colombian soup called Crema De Mazorca from the Andean region of Colombia, this soup is sweet and creamy, made with fresh summer corn. I didn't use any cream, instead it's simmered in low fat milk and thickened with a potato, once pureed it's thick and velvety. If you can't find queso fresco in your area, try another salty cheese like cotija, ricotta salata or a mild feta. Sure, you could probably make this from frozen corn, but I don't think it would taste nearly as good so for best results, make this with fresh corn while it's in season.

Ingredients: Heat a medium heavy pot or Dutch oven on medium heat. Remove from heat and reserve 6 tablespoons of the corn kernels for topping.
