If you think authentic cheesecake flavor is impossible
without the cheese, think again. Raw
happens to be one of the most authentic tasting raw
desserts, thanks to the magical combination of cashews
and coconut oil. Just be sure to soak your cashews overnight. If
you don’t have cashews, macadamia nuts are a perfect substitute.

I have started an Instagram account to share my love of cooking simple, seasonal, organically grown food. All of my recipes
will fill you with energy and incredible feelings! I am a whole-food-lover. My diet consists 100% of vegetables, fruits, whole grains,
beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. Nothing makes me feel better, think better, and look better than wholefoods. And the big bonus?
I never count calories or worry about my weight because I know that if I eat this way, my body will be in a perfect state of balance
and health, naturally. I want my recipes to be as simple and pure as possible. I hope that as you explore my blog you will share my
love for all of the beautiful veggies and fruits that can be discovered in the amazing world we live in. More than anything I want to
show how fresh, healthy and exciting dishes can be created with ease and to inspire others to make healthier food choices.
