Creamhach às aonais an uachdar, cream deluxe

The start of a new decade is a great incentive to push the restart button on your health and eating habits. Many of us make a resolution to do so on Jan. 1, but sticking to that resolution can be a tricky thing…especially when we’re bombarded by a plethora of Valentine’s Day treats a month later. An easy, fun way to "lighten up" and incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet is to use the Happy Whip ” brand cream dispenser to inject texture and aeration into your favorite vegetarian or vegan recipes–like this delicious nut milk-based Frothy Vegan Cauliflower Soup. It’s so packed with umami flavor from the porcini mushroom powder and nutritional yeast you won’t even miss the parmesan cheese or cream.
