    Serves 4

    Ingredients

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 medium onion, chopped

    3 cloves garlic minced

    ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

    2 cups sliced mushrooms

    1 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste

    ½ teaspoon turmeric

    3 heirloom carrots, peeled and sliced

    1 container CocoJune Organic cultured coconut yogurt

    1 8-oz. pack Pumfu pumpkin seed tofu, cubed

    ¼ small head green cabbage, chopped

    2-3 cups broccoli spears

    Method

    1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. A pinch of the salt helps the onions to soften.

    2. Cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onions have softened. Add the sliced mushrooms, curry powder, remaining sea salt and turmeric.

    3. Cook and stir for a few minutes, then cover for a few more minutes.

    4. Uncover and add carrots and the coconut yogurt. Stir and cover, cooking for another minute.

    5. Add the cabbage, Pumfu and broccoli. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still bright green. Serve hot, over cooked quinoa or rice. Enjoy!

    Dark Chocolate Caramel Shortbread Cookies

    Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, & Vegan – *Contains Coconut*

    Cocomels are the perfect sweet treat that you can eat straight out of the bag or add into any dessert- just in time for the holiday season! They are the perfect vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free candy.

    BONUS SALES IN RECIPE: Coomb’s Maple Syrup $7.99; Wholesome Powdered Sugar $3.29; & Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips $4.29!

    Ingredients

    Shortbread Cookie:

    • 1 Cup Butter
    • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
    • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
    • 2 1/4 Cup Flour
    • Salt

    Caramel Layer:

    • 2 3.5oz Bags of Cocomels, unwrapped (mix up the flavors!)
    • 1 Tablespoon Milk

    Chocolate Layer:

    • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
    • 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil

    Method

    A. To make the Shortbread Cookies:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    2. In large bowl, mix butter until creamy. Then add maple syrup, vanilla, and powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
    3. Add flour and salt and mix until a dough forms.
    4. Transfer dough onto parchment paper and roll into 1/4″-1/2″ thick slab. Cut into circles (or your favorite cookie cutter shapes).
    5. Spread cookies on parchment paper on sheet tray so that they are equally spaced. Use a fork to poke 3 sets of holes into the cookies to avoid bubbling.
    6. Bake for 14 minutes. Cookies should be pretty firm and the edges should be slightly golden brown.
    7. Move cookies to cooling rack.

    B. To make the Caramel Layer:

    1. Place unwrapped Cocomels in a microwave safe bowl with 1/2 tablespoon of milk.
    2. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring after each time, until they are completely melted.
    3. Allow caramel to sit for a little bit to thicken. Don’t wait too long or the caramel will be too hard to spread!
    4. Using a spoon, spread the caramel mixture evenly over each cookie. Place in refrigerator for 5-10 minutes or until caramel is solid.

    C. To make the Chocolate Layer:

    1. While the caramel layer is setting up, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second intervals, stirring after each time.
    2. Remove the cookies from fridge and spoon chocolate evenly over the top of the cookies.
    3. Return cookies to fridge for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate layer is firm.

    D. Once cookies are complete, ENJOY!
