A healthier vegan alternative to traditional mayonnaise. This easy recipe will change your life! It is rich, creamy, tangy, egg-free and low fat. Best of all it is super easy to make and delicious! You won’t miss mayo!

How to Make Creamy and Rich Cashew Mayo

Making your own egg-free, dairy-free mayonnaise is easier than you think! All it takes is 5 minutes (30 minutes if you count the time to soak your cashews!)

We use cashews because they have a neutral flavour and the best texture for making this kind of condiment! Simply soak the cashews overnight (I always have a batch going in the refrigerator) and toss them in the Vitamix blender with the spices! It comes our SMOOTH!

Use this plant-based sauce over Cobb Salads or with your Okonomiyaki Cauliflower Bites in! It will also go GREAT with that Turkey Katsu Sando stack!

Don’t throw away the the lobster shell when you make anything lobster! Instead make Lobster Stock – lobster shells are great to make delicious stock that can be used in other seafood soups, stews, sauce or lobster bisque! Simply extract the meat and roast the shells! You can even freeze the shells for later after you extract the meat!

Best Way to Remove Lobster Meat

• Blanch in boiling salt water for 2 minutes before dismembering.
• Twist to separate the body from the head.
• On a cutting board, split the lobster body with a heavy knife.
• Remove and discard the stomach sack (remove the the light green lobster tomalley).
• Hold the tail with shell facing down and pull back on both sides to crack open the shell and remove the meat.
• Twist arms to remove both claws and knuckles from the body. Break the knuckles at the joint using a lobster cracking tool. If the meat is stuck inside, use a skewer or cocktail forks to push the meat out of the shell.
• Use a rolling pin or wine bottle, roll the meat from claw end and toward the open end, pushing the meat out. Open tip of leg and release pieces of the shell. This is great to remove meat from the legs.

I ordered my live lobster from Clearwater.ca. It arrived next day nicely packaged with ice and very much alive! The lobsters are MSC certified and harvested from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Did you know, Clearwater Premium Hardshell Fresh™ Canadian lobster yields up to 50% more meat than soft shell lobsters?!

Feeling tired and run down? Dealing with a cold or the flu? Try this easy to make delicious Anti-Inflammatory Vegan Soup to help you avoid getting sick and make you feel better faster! While chicken soup and vitamin C are staple remedies, adding an anti-inflammatory diet will help prevent serious health problems. This soup is packed full of Vitamins A, B6, C, E, K, nutrients, powerful antioxidant properties that help protect cells against damage by free radicals, and minerals.

Anti-inflammatory foods have been well studied to reduce inflammation. They include lots of fruits and vegetables, plant-based proteins, fatty fish, fresh herbs and spices.

Inflammation is the body’s natural process to heal and defend itself from infection, illness or injury. However, inflammation is harmful when it becomes chronic due to stress, poor eating habits, lack of sleep or being over-weight. If you suffer from gut disorders, autoimmune disease, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, incorporating these simple food into your diet is a great idea!

Classic tell tale signs of inflammation can include redness, heat, pain or swelling.

Adopting an Anti-inflammatory Diet:

• Avoid/reducing inflammatory foods like processed foods (burgers, soda pop, potato chips), refined carbs, high sugar, industrial seed oils, red meat, high fructose corn syrup and alcohol
• Instead replace with anti-inflammatory foods that are unprocessed, unadulterated single ingredient foods like vegetables, fruits, plant-based proteins, fatty fish, etc.
• In addition to eating a whole food diet, it is important to exercise and sleep can reduce inflammation.

Health Benefits of Eating:

Bok Choy: excellent source of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and beta-carotene. It is a very good source of folate, calcium, and contains the mineral selenium.

Garlic: combat sickness like common Cold by boosting immunity, reduce blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, and fights fungus.

Ginger: improves digestion, relieves nausea, combats a cold or the flu, supports cardiovascular health, kills germs, etc.

Carrots: excellent source of beta carotene, fibre, vitamin K1, vitamin A, keratin, potassium, and antioxidants. Carrots also help to promote weight loss and improves eye health.

Onions: contain antioxidants and compounds that fight inflammation, decrease triglycerides and reduce cholesterol levels. They are excellent sources of vitamin C, sulphuric compounds, flavonoids and phytochemicals.

Cilantro: this antioxidant-rich herb contains vitamins C, provitamin A, and K. It helps to lower your blood sugar, fight infections and promote heart, brain, skin and digestive health!

3 Tips to Prevent Getting Sick

1. Avoid/reduce eating inflammatory foods. Avoid eating sugary treats and desserts! – sugar weakens your immune system.
2. Getting quality restorative sleep for at least 8 hours – lack of sleep impairs the immune system. Our bodies naturally repair it’s self while sleeping by releasing certain disease-fighting chemicals.
3. Avoid/reducing drinking alcohol (yes, this includes wine!) Alcohol dehydrates the body, the microbes in your gut and impairs your immune system up to 24 hours.

Getting sick is inevitable but we can heal it by healthy, wholesome, nutritious food that helps reduce inflammation and boost our immune system.

With the current news of COVID-19 epidemic (pandemic really…) it is a friendly reminder to treat our bodies well and to remember to wash your f*cking hands (with soup for at least 20 seconds)! Sing the Happy Birthday song 2x!
