Vegan Buckwheat carrot cake w/ cashew-date frosting

A dream come true....you can have delicious carrot cake that is totally gluten free, sugar free, and dairy free!  

I used this wonderful recipe below but altered it little bit.  Instead of agave nectar I used Maple syrup.

Cashew date frosting

Ingredients:

Soaked cashews

Medjool dates

a little bit of water

vanilla extract

a pinch of salt

Blend well in blender or food processor until creamy.

Creamy Cauliflower soup

My new favorite soup!  So simple and no broth is needed.   I never use broth as most vegetable broths contain some form of MSG which is so bad for you!  

Ingredients:

3/4 or 1 head of cauliflower

a handful of cashews

1/2 or 3/4 of an onion

2-3 garlic cloves

water

cayenne

salt

ghee or extra virgin olive oil

Lightly cook the cauliflower and onions in water.  Once cooked, blend well in blender and blend in the cashews and garlic as well.  Place the puree'd soup back in the pot and heat up a little more, adding cayenne, salt, and a spoon of ghee if you want.  Enjoy with some fresh chives or parsley on top.
