Cheezy Vegan Nacho Dip
This month’s recipe for the Drop Dead Clothing blog was a rich and creamy Cheezy Vegan Nacho Dip. This is the perfect way to get your queso fix without any dairy, and with lots of sneaky vegetables. The base of the dip is made up of cashews, carrots, and onions. With just a few other flavourful ingredients you are ready to blend everything together, top with your favourite salsa and get ready to serve! It couldn’t be easier. This month’s recipe is as simple as it gets- just a few ingredients quickly sautéed and then blended together to create rich, cheezy queso dip. Queso dip, or nacho cheese dip is usually…

Drop Dead Recipes- Caramel Almond Popcorn
It’s that time of year! Halloween is just around the corner and those mini-chocolate bars get so freakin’ tempting, don’t they? Once you start you just can’t stop, so don’t even go near those suckers, and instead make a REFINED SUGAR and CORN SYRUP FREE Caramel Almond Popcorn to munch on instead! I am absolutely pumped about the flavour of this popcorn. To be honest, I don’t even like caramel popcorn, but everyone is going crazy about this one. It’s sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, and has great healthy fats from coconut oil and almond butter. Forget the candy thermometer and a complicated caramel process- this comes together…

Drop Dead Recipes- Raw Cashew Cheesecakes
I just wanted to take the time to post a little update and let you know where I’ve been at over the Summer, as my Koko’s Kitchen posts have definitely slowed down. Lots of changes have been happening, and I really want to get my recipes back up regularly again! First of all, I’ve been busy with Koko’s Kitchen the business. I’ve been selling juice at Back Roads Family Farm Market all summer, and I attended markets at the Tsawwassen Saturday Market as well. I’ve been filling orders for 3-day reboots (juice cleanses) and keeping busy with a full-time job as well. It’s been a bit overwhelming this summer to…

Drop Dead Recipes- Chickpea Omelette
This month’s edition of #DropDeadRecipes is all about breakfast! I’m not a huge breakfast person, mostly opting for a smoothie and a coffee, sipped on the go as I head to work in the morning. Sometimes, however, I get a craving for something a little more special, and something to be enjoyed say, sitting down at a table- hah! This recipe is my take on an omelette…but there are no eggs involved. I guess technically this is more of a crepe or savoury pancake, but it’s prepared in the pan as you would an omelette. Call it what you wanna call it- it will taste the same either way! There…

Drop Dead Recipes- Jalapeno Poppers
This month’s edition of Drop Dead Recipes is a recipe for a super fun appetizer- jalapeno poppers! Jalapeno poppers always remind me of the Brill family trip to Mexico in 2010. The whole family had a pretty interesting day, but my mom found my brother on the beach at 3am, smoking a cigar and eating jalapeno poppers surrounded by a bunch of racoon-like animals. Ah, memories…jalapeno poppers are Jordan’s favourite but he likes his as cheesy as possible and maybe even bacon wrapped. I think he could still enjoy my plant-based version, though!! I’ve made a cashew ‘cream cheese’ filled with smoky, spicy flavour to stuff the jalapenos with. Then,…

Drop Dead Recipes- Popsicles
Summer is coming! Check out this month’s #DropDeadRecipes to get the deets on these strawberries and cream popsicles. These make an awesome Summer snack or dessert and the ingredients could not be more simple. Real fruit, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. There is nooooo need for all the food colouring, preservatives, and who knows what else that is found in most store bought popsicles. Keep it natural and even more delicious with these, instead! Check out the recipe here and take a look at the Crazy Life collection while you’re at it. There are lots of great sale items at Drop Dead Clothing right now, too. I’m also looking…

Drop Dead Recipes- Veggie & Bean Tacos
For this month’s Drop Dead Recipes, I decided on veggie tacos with lots of fresh flavours from a variety of vegetables, beans, and broccoli slaw. To take this recipe to the next level, be sure to make a batch of my plant-based chipotle mayo! It’s the perfect sauce for these tacos. Check out the recipe on the Drop Dead Clothing blog.

Plant-Based BLT Sandwich
The other day, I included a recipe for shiitake bacon in a fettuccine dish I had made. I then realized that shiitake bacon is a highly addictive substance, and have been making it ever since. I know how much everybody seems like bacon- but this is my plant-based version, and it is so addictive! I have no idea how shiitake mushrooms, and a little smoked paprika can taste soooo delightful, but it does- and I’m not going to second guess it! I want to use this shiitake bacon in every possible way, so of course a BLT sandwich had to happen- with a twist. The key to the shiitake bacon…

Drop Dead Recipes- Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
For this month’s #dropdeadrecipes series I have made some delicious plant-based mint chocolate chip ice cream. I was so stoked at how the flavour of this turned out. Considering it uses a coconut milk base, along with spirulina to tint it green, it is quite different from my old favourite mint chocolate chip ice cream. Those who have tried this can agree that it tastes just like the “real” thing. I think it tastes even better- no chemicals, preservatives, or dairy-induced stomach ache! The thing about this ice cream is that it is best served as a soft-serve, or gelato texture. I like to freeze it for only 1-2 hours,…

Drop Dead Recipes- Raw Chocolate Bark
Well…I’m BACK IN VANCOUVER! I can’t believe a year had passed since I began my working holiday in New Zealand. It’s been an epic and unforgettable trip- I will always cherish my memories of this year! It’s good to be home though. I’ve missed my kitchen…A LOT. I literally ecstatic to get crackin’ on some new recipes and finish my e-book. I’m looking to print a few copies of it, too, so that’s exciting! In the meantime, I’m going to lay back and enjoy the Christmas holidays! And you know that means plenty of cooking and baking. This recipe for Drop Dead Clothing is alllllll about the chocolate. Not just…
