Raw cashew butter chocolate cups (vegan, GF)

October 26, 2015 By travellingoven 2 Comments

One of the things I discovered when I changed the way I eat and mostly eliminated refined sugar from my diet, as well as butter, milk, cream & other, is that I can still enjoy delicious food, have treats, desserts and feel good after eating them! I never, ever in million years thought I would be one of those people who will say no to cakes or candies but life gave me stomach / digestion problems and I hit back with changing my nutrition and eating beautiful, delicious food, including desserts that are probably even better tasting than those I was eating before! The best part is that you don’t have that heavy bloated feeling in your stomach (even those who normally don’t suffer from digestion can still have that feeling!) after eating a piece of that classic rich cake made with lots of cream, butter and sugar. Now, don’t get me wrong, I believe in balance and when I feel good and if there is a special occasion, I will still have a taste of something that doesn’t fall into category of “healthier” desserts but I know it won’t make me feel sick, like for example a slice of apple pie, Italian cherry jam crostata, some kind of fruit cake or even dark chocolate one if is not covered with layers of cream! 😀 But that’s only in special occasions and most of the times my treats are healthier and made dairy free, refined sugar free and easy to digest. Like this little treat I’m sharing today!

Now that I’m already talking about this subject, I wanted to ask you if you would be interested in a blog post about the way I eat, the food that I eliminated, the ingredients I introduced that make me heal, feel better with no medicine anymore and lose 10 kg (that part was not intentional, it’s just the way my body found its balance when eating like I do now)? If this is something that would be interesting for some of you (if you have digestion problems or generally don’t feel well after eating or if you want to lose the weight in a healthy way), I’ll put it together one of these days. So please let me know! 🙂

Now these Cashew butter chocolate cups are so good! They are perfect little treat to keep in the fridge for those times you want / need something sweet. They are also quite rich so even half of the cup will satisfy your craving. Do you like cashew butter? I love it because of its mild and creamy taste but enjoy it occasionally as it is quite rich as I said. My favorite nut butter is almond butter and that’s the one I eat daily (you can find recipe on my blog here). But cashew butter is amazing too, specially for desserts! You can make it yourself (like all the nut butters, by toasting them for 10 min in the oven and than blending in strong food processor until it’s creamy) or just buy it in any health food store.
Not only do cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts, approximately 82% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, plus about 66% of this unsaturated fatty acid content are heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, similar to those found in olive oil. Cashew nuts are abundant sources of essential minerals, especially manganese, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. They are high in calories, like all nuts, so you have to enjoy them in smaller quantities.

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡

When you have your own business there are times wh When you have your own business there are times when you don’t have weekends, you don’t have days off, no holidays, when you need to keep going even if you’re going through something difficult and just want to stay in bed… And it’s not always easy. There are also times, specially in the first years, when you don’t know if you are going to make it, if you will earn enough to support yourself, if you will be ‘good enough’… But I wouldn’t change all that for anything because doing what you love is incredibly rewarding and I love photography with all my heart and soul. 
It saved me more than once. It keeps saving me, helps me express myself and what I feel, it gave me back my confidence and a purpose when I nearly lost it. It was the best decision of my life (well, the one of getting a divorce and get out of a really bad marriage is there somewhere too 😅) to take that new path in my late 30s and start all over again… It’s never too late. ❤️
