The Door to The Philosophie

Sweet Treat-Dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free!

Now that I’m pregnant, I have to get blood taken all the time. I get kinda queasy after wards, and usually need a sugar hit like fruit or juice. My husband came prepared the last time, buying me a Naked smoothie and an Almond Joy. The Almond Joy was good, and made luckily with dark [...]

To make dairy-free mylk, you can use pretty much any seed, grain or nut. I like almond and coconut mylk the best. Experiment with your own taste buds  to see what [...]

Person: “But, aren’t you raw?”

ME: [...]
