Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Strawberry Cream Pie

July 27, 2020

This no-bake treat is super easy—a creamy combo of sweet vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries (or fruit of choice) with the scattered crunch. Essentially all the best textures in a chilled layered dessert. It’s definitely one to bring to a backyard party or family get together. It’s not so much a “pie” as a layered dessert, but that’s what we have been calling it so there you go

Travel Guide | Our Favorite Vegan Eats in Portugal

The importance of Lisboa is its strategic location at the mouth of the Tagus River, the longest river in the Iberia Peninsula - divided between Portugal, Spain, Andorra, France, and Gibraltar. The harbor is naturally sheltered making it a significant seaport for trade between the Mediterranean Sea and northern Europe throughout history. One of the oldest cities in western Europe, Lisboa’s history can be traced back to 800 B.C! The area has been occupied by many civilizations including the Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors, among others. This established a unique mix of culture, history, and architecture throughout the area. Though much of how the city appears today was defined by a terrible natural catastrophe in 1755. On November 1, 1755, an estimated 8.5–9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Lisboa in the Kingdom of Portugal. It caused extreme structural damage to many of the buildings. Additionally it knocked over lit candles in churches, shops, and homes starting several deadly fires. Combined with a subsequent tsunami from the aftermath, Lisboa was left almost totally destroyed. Shocks from the earthquake were felt around the country—coastal villages in the Algarve and even inland castles experienced heavy damages. Considered one of the deadliest earthquakes in history, the death toll in Lisboa is estimated between 10, 000 and 100, 000 people. This earthquake shaped much of the country. Palaces, cathedrals, churches and homes were destroyed and although over following centuries many were repaired and restored, others were left to fall into ruins. Additionally priceless artifacts, paintings, historical records, and books were lost. Throughout the country you’ll find areas such as the Alfama district in Lisboa with parts dating back nearly 800 years, but due to the earthquake the next neighborhood over, Baixa, dating back less than 300 years. This catastrophe greatly shaped the county, the city, and its history. The concentration of buildings and the population of Lisboa are around Baixa, the now downtown, which was established on the original palace grounds prior to 1755, although it is worth exploring the surrounding neighborhoods of Chaido, Bairro Alto, Alfama, Graça, and the further out districts of Belém and Sintra. _Note: This itinerary will try and cover most of these for you. :)_ I know you’ve just arrived in the city, but since both Belém and Sintra are worth an entire day trip I wanted to spread them out in the itinerary. Today is about exploring Belém and getting oriented in this colorful, lively city!, lisboa1

Recipe | Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Bolo de Arroz (Portuguese Rice Muffins)

October 27, 2019

Everyone will be raving about Pastéis de Nata, traditional Portuguese egg custard tarts which are indeed delicious - we actually preferred Bolo de Arroz. Bolo de Arroz are traditional Portuguese part-rice flour muffins that are perfect for breakfast, snack, or anytime really. 

Since they are only part rice flour the ones you’ll stumble upon in Portugal are unfortunately not gluten-free. So when I got home I knew I had to make a gluten-free version that we could enjoy!
