Easy Healthy Cashew Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

5/3/2019

Ingredients

4 cups Cauliflower, cut into florets
2 large Fresh Tomatoes, quartered (like Hot House tomatoes)
1 medium Red Onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons Coconut Oil, melted
1 tablespoon Yellow Curry Powder, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided
Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2/3 cup Roasted Cashews, (salted)
1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, (4 small breasts)
1 large Egg White
2 cups Cucumber, thinly sliced and halved
Chopped Fresh Mint, for garnish
Minced Fresh Cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the cauliflower florets, quartered tomatoes and chopped red onion into a large bowl. Toss with the coconut oil and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tsp of the curry powder, reserving the rest for later, until well combined and the curry powder is evenly dispersed. Place on a large, rimmed baking sheet in one layer and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Add the remaining curry powder, the cashews and a pinch of salt and pepper into a SMALL food processor (mine is 3 cups) and pulse until broken down, but leaving some cashews a little chunky for texture.
Dry the chicken breasts off and place the egg white into a shallow, sided plate. Additionally, place the cashews into a shallow, sided plate. Dredge a chicken in the egg white, gently shaking off any excess, and then press into the cashews. Flip and press the other side into the cashews, lightly pressing to adhere cashews both sides of the chicken.
Place the chicken breast onto a small cooling rack (one that fits on your sheet pan, and preferably one with legs so it sits over the veggies. This allows both sides of the chicken to cook and get crispy.) Repeat with the remaining breasts.
Place the cooling rack on top of the sheet pan, over top of the veggies, and bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, which takes about 14-15 minutes.
Once cooked, toss the fresh cucumbers onto the pan, and garnish with mint and cilantro.
DEVOUR.

Easy VeGan Strawberry Cheesecake

4/24/2019

Ingredients
Filling

1 1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk Use the solid "cream" part of the coconut milk that has surfaced to the top. Do not use the liquid. Make sure it's room temp.
1/2 cup maple syrup Room temp.
2 tablespoons coconut milk Room temp.
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Crust

1 cup raw pecans
1/2 cup medjool dates

Strawberry Topping

1/4 cup strawberry preserves

Instructions
Crust

In a food processor, combine the ingredients for the crust until the dough sticks together and is mostly smooth. Don't over blend it! The crust is better when it is slightly coarse in texture.
Line an 8" by 8" baking dish with parchment paper. Press the crust dough into the baking dish then set aside.

Filling

Begin by soaking the cashews in boiling water for about 1 hour until they are soft. Once the cashews are soft, drain the water.
In a food processor, blend the cashews until they become a pulp.
Heat the maple syrup and coconut oil on the stove to room temperature. Then slowly incorporate the warm maple syrup and melted coconut oil into the cashews while blending. Puree this mixture until completely smooth!
Heat both coconut milks to room temperature (If they were refrigerated). Then combine with the cashew mixture.
Add the vanilla and salt to the filling and finish blending until 100% smooth. Then pour the filling over the crust.

Topping

In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberry preserves until they become a bright red liquid.
To make the swirls, pour four diagonal lines of strawberry liquid across the cheesecake. Then take a toothpick and drag it vertically across the top of the cheesecake. As you do this, it will drag the strawberry preserves into a retro pattern.
Freeze the cheesecake until it is solid. It will still be soft enough to eat, so you don't have to worry about over freezing it. Freezing times vary depending on the type of freezer, but I recommend freezing it for 3-5 hours.

2 tablespoons cashew milk or any milk you prefer
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons salted butter melted (for drizzling)
Additional salt to taste
Fresh parsley for garnishing

Cut the potatoes into chunks and place the chunks in the boiling water. Allow the potatoes to boil for 15-20 minutes* or until the chunks are soft.
Drain off the water.
Add the butter and milk to the drained potatoes.
Use a hand mixer to beat the potatoes until the butter is completely melted and the potatoes are smooth.
Add the eggs and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes until the egg is completely mixed in.
Take a large disposable decorating bag and snip the tip off.
Place Wilton 1M tip inside the bag and push it into the cut off tip.
Fill the decorating bag with the sweet potato mixture.
Spray a baking sheet with coconut cooking spray.
Take the decorating bag, hold it perpendicular to the baking sheet and pipe a swirling mound of sweet potatoes. Continue until you've used all of the sweet potato mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the sweet potato swirls.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
Keep the oven rack in the same position. Turn the oven to high broil and broil for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to watch the sweet potato swirls carefully and take them out when they just barely brown on the edges.
Snip fresh parsley over the sweet potatoes if you desire. Add additional salt also if you'd like.
