Avocado (Zucchini) Summer Squash Pasta Salad (Vegan) via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Quick question: Why are green zucchinis called zucchinis but yellow zucchini called summer squash? Why can they both be called zucchini but only one called summer squash? Why is English so hard? Regardless of the reason, I’m breaking the rules today with this avocado summer squash pasta salad and calling both varieties ‘summer squash’. Hashtag rebel [Tweet

Vegan Coconut Ginger Golden Milk Scones (made with turmeric and spelt flour) via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com/vegan-golden-milk-scones/

Remember golden milk? That ‘next-best-thing’ that’s already so last month? Well, I’m not over it yet. And I don’t think I ever will be. I honestly can’t get enough of the cold-fighting, immune-boosting yellow goodness that is turmeric. Which is why I put it in all the things these days. Including these vegan coconut ginger golden milk

Overcoming my introverted tendencies & stepping out of my comfort zone via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Back in May I wrote a post about saying yes to things that scare you. Since then, the scariest thing I’ve done is continue to share more about my thoughts and feeling on the blog. But in my everyday life, off the internet, I’ve basically been chugging along like always. So this month, I made a

Remember that chickpea taco salad I promised last week? Well, it ain’t gonna happen.

This creamy vegan peach rosé sorbet is perfectly sweet with a slight kick and doesn't require an ice cream maker via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

When I was trying to decide what to make for this week’s Ice Cream Sunday recipe I realised that I have yet to share a sorbet recipe. I’ve shared two popsicle recipes, chocolate ice cream, and multiple ice cream based desserts, but no sorbet in sight. So this week, I set out to remedy that

Like I mentioned in my last post, I went a little crazy with my avocado buying last week and ended up with 8 avos that were all set to ripen at the same time. In hindsight, that was probably not one of my better ideas. But I’m not mad cuz it made this strawberry balsamic
