I freeze it in serving sizes.
Coconut-Black Bean SoupDelicious, different and healthy.
Japanese Style Chocolate Roll CakeMy whole family loves this dessert because of its super soft, fluffy cake and very delicious chocolate ganache.

My own personal favourite salad is a Caesar salad, so I wanted to try to make a version I can serve to my vegan mates. This recipe is hands down the best so far. The capers really mimick anchovies, and the hummus makes for a great substitute for the egg base in the original version. Even if you're not vegan, I am sure you will love this version!
Chewy Caramel Apple CookiesI love these cookies because they're kind of like a cross between caramel apples and warm apple pie. The freshly cooked cubes of apple really stand out under the gooey ribbons of caramel.

Fruity Tofu SmoothieI went to get a smoothie with some friends the other day and was appalled a large fruit smoothie was over $7. This fruity tofu smoothie is a healthy and budget-friendly take on the rich and creamy versions at the specialty shops.
Banana Kale SmoothieThis is an excellent smoothie for those who need to get more greens in their diet. You won't even taste the kale. The bananas, vanilla, and honey take over in sweetness, and give it a luxuriously smooth texture. It actually tastes similar to a very naughty diner milkshake. Promise you'll love it!

It's very delicious, especially when the muffins are still a little warm.
