This post contains a video (after the jump) for my favorite Almond Crunch Kale Chips recipe. Thought I’d share it again since it has a few extra tips included and they make great healthy travel food—Happy Holidays! If you haven’t made these yet, now is the time. Read more…
This past weekend, YU Contributor Maya Henderson and I took out my newly rehabbed 1968 Shasta Loflyte Trailer for a quick Glamping (oh yes, glamorous luxury camping) trip to Kettle Moraine State Forest in Wisconsin. I prepared a ton of tasty YumUniverse recipes for our adventure and one of them is a new favorite, Almond Crunch Kale Chips. I thought I’d share that recipe and our overall menu with YU. Don’t be surprised what foods make easy, healthy camping eats. It just takes a little bit of prep. Read more…
I made up a big batch of these for a Labor Day roadtrip and thought I’d share. Fall is my favorite season (scarves, boots, crisp leaves), and I know I’m jumping the gun, but there is something so autumnal about this herb combo. This favorite new oil-free, gluten-free recipe works well not only for cashews, but for a medley of nuts and seeds—try equal amounts of almonds, cashews and sunflower seeds. Chopped granny smith apple would be delicious added to that mix as well. This recipe can be prepared raw with a dehydrator, too. Read more…
It’s a fact. Jerky is not an attractive food. It’s something people consume for taste and texture. And if taste and texture are something you can appreciate then this is your recipe, lovingly made with YU’s Impossibly Delicious Raw BBQ Sauce.
Cowboy Kale Jerky is prepared with a dehydrator, but if any of you kitchen adventurers out there want to try it in the oven baked at a low temp, be sure to let us all know if it works.

These Chinese Spiced Pecans make salads truly incredible. This recipe calls for baking them, but you can prepare them in a dehydrator, too. Don’t have a dehydrator but really want one? Enter our Party-Themed Recipe Contest with your best plant-based recipe—the grand prize winner takes home a 5-tray Excalibur dehydrator!
Dehydrated or roasted, try Chinese Spiced Pecans with mixed greens, sunflower sprouts, dried cherries, dried blueberries and a simple balsamic vinaigrette. Wow. Read more…
A nutrient-packed take on a classic American sandwich that you can prepare 100% raw or high raw. Eat it for lunch, a snack or dessert. Change up the ingredients to make it your own. Take the time to prepare all of the ingredients yourself (Raw Sprouted White Bread, Raw Blueberry Jam, Roasted Jungle Peanut Butter) or seek them out at the health food store. It’s nice to make the foods you loved as a kid, just as tasty, but full of the nutrients your body craves. Read more…
This is one of the tasty snacks that I mention in the recent recipe post for Impossibly Delicious Raw BBQ Sauce. It’s an easy, vegan, plant-based recipe to prepare either dehydrated or roasted at a lower temp in the oven. Customize the time or ingredients to make them just the way you like—even gluten-free.
They will taste way better than many of the raw snacks that you can shell out $9-$18 a bag for at the store. You will get so much more for your money if you make them yourself. Read more…
Hi friends! Major apology for not having more recipes this past few weeks but the holidays came, Penny’s Pastries got swamped, and I got a great new job at the same time! Thanks for the readers who ordered from me, and those of you who didn’t, there’s still time! This is my last post for my YumUniverse guest blogging series but maybe if you guys like me enough, I can come back and be a guest blogger from time to time (wink, wink).
This final Chocolate Coconut Macaroons recipe is actually one of my favorites to keep in the house at all times. It’s perfectly bite-sized, is gluten free and 90% raw. They are super easy to make and a huge hit at parties. Enjoy!
From me, and Penny’s Pastries, to you and your families—Have a happy and healthy New Year! Read more…
