Mind blown, but next week marks midterms...already!? Pretty sure I just started classes, right? No? I guess not! I only have one real midterm, obviously my internship doesn't have one and my other class doesn't, so no stress, but wow! (That Fall term really is shorter than the Spring!) The Graduation finish line is inching closer and closer! Other notes, I "may" be going to the Gluten-Free Allergy-Friendly Expo in Jersey this weekend, not sure. But if you attend, let me know via Instagram and say hi (don't be shy)! Besides that, here's what you came for!SS Posts from the week: Monday: Baked Gluten-Free Apple Cider Doughnuts (Vegan, Allergy-Free) Wednesday: How To Make The Easiest 2-Ingredient Vegan Parmesan (Gluten-Free, Allergy-Free, Paleo) … Read More...

October 10, 2018 By Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 32 Comments

Looking for the best and easiest way to make vegan parmesan cheese? Here's how to make the quickest and healthiest, 2-ingredient vegan parmesan that's from real whole foods, gluten-free, allergy-free, even paleo! Perfect to have on hand for topping, sprinkling, and making anything "cheesy"! In search of the best, easiest, healthiest vegan parmesan? Look no further! Nothing artificial, 100% vegan, gluten-free, allergy-free, and paleo! The perfect texture and taste all wrapped into one super simple "recipe" that only requires TWO ingredients! You've seen me use this "recipe" in a few of the recipes over here on Strength and Sunshine and I felt the need to formalize it with a full post. If you're reading in real time, you'll be needing this parmesan for many cheesy things in the future! I feel silly calling it a recipe, that's why it's more of a how-to and probably the easiest how-to you'll ever read!So how do you make the easiest 2-ingredient vegan parmesan? The only 2 ingredients you need to make this parmesan are: 1. Nutritional Yeast 2. Hemp Hearts (Shelled Hemp Seeds) The best part is that these ingredients go one-to-one in the recipe. To make a decent batch to keep on hand in the fridge of pantry, just use 1 cup of nutritional yeast and one cup of hemp hearts. But to actually make the texture "parmesan-style", you just need to blitz these two ingredients in a small food processor or blender! From there I like to store my vegan parm in small Ball canning … Read More...

You know those times when you have SO many ideas, too many ideas, and then you go into idea-paralysis and act on none of them? Totally me. I'm not sure where to focus first, what to do and implement first, what will be the best ROI right now. Trying to just keep doing what I know and keeping the excuse of school as my reason for not taking action on other things. So that gives me until basically the new year to really get my thoughts and ideas together. Hm....things to come... Short(er) Finisher this week, but still enough to get your dose of browsing! Enjoy!SS Posts from the week: Monday: Mini Chewy Gluten-Free Vegan Fudge Brownie Bites (Allergy-Free) Wednesday: Easy Lightened Up Gluten-Free Penne alla Vodka (Vegan, Allergy-Free) … Read More...
