Creamy Pistachio No Bake Slice is vegan and gluten free too. Besides that it is delicious

Pistachio No bake slice pieces.

I have a surprise for you. This Creamy Pistachio No Bake Slice has some interesting ingredients

I was wondering if it is because I am getting old that time feels like it is speeding on relentlessly fast, but thank fully everyone I know that is under 30 can’t keep up either. It’s a crazy fast world alright. How are you coping in your corner of the world?

In My Kitchen this month I have a lot happening and most of it involves either cakes or preparing cakes.

cakes stacked ready to put together

These are layers of chocolate cake getting ready to be made into an engagement cake next weekend. All of the decorations and fillings will be made during the week and put together Saturday morning for delivery to the party.

A box of pancake mix Kialla Foods

This large box full of pancake mix is a little project I am working on for Kialla Pure Foods in Queensland. The mix is organic as are all of there ingredients and I am making anything I can OTHER than pancakes with them and that’s the challenge. How would you go?. I have to say they make wonderfully fluffy wholesome pancakes.

And I have this too…

It’s a recipe I saw here it caught my eye because I have just spent the weekend with my sisters and one of them can’t digest dairy or gluten anymore and this recipe is perfect for her. It won’t be for everyone, but I know my sister will love it.  It is dairy and gluten free and it’s green…..that’s good isn’t it?

It is Vegan if you make it with coconut butter but I have used butter instead of coconut butter for making this in my house because I don’t like coconut butter….OMG did I really just say that? I do not like the taste of coconut butter. If you do then you use it.  While I am telling you the secret truth I hate Kale too, there!

Warning this contains avocado…..that’s why it’s green.

This is a Vegan gluten free recipe that tastes creamy and morish. I have used butter in this version because I don't like coconut butter. The recipe was adapted from "the green life"

    Tania, time certainly is speeding on … half of November is gone and I’m just getting ’round to commenting on your IMK post! (Sorry about that, but I sense you’ll understand.) Your tower of cakes made me picture the happy couple (and guests) at that engagement party — I’m certain it was a hit, and beautifully decorated, too. Very intriguing “green” cake! I happen to like green (and avocados) and the fact that its no-bake and can be frozen, too, makes me think I need to try this. Thanks for sharing your “kitchen stories” this month!

    oh thank god i have found someone else who hates kale!:) I thought it was just me. I keep telling everyone it is all a marketing trick telling us it is a super food. Farmers used to grow it for their cattle and probably still do and here are all the trendies paying mega bucks for it Oh and i hate coconut oil too. right rant over. love the green colour of your slice. pistachios are always a winner for me. Cheers Sherry

      You have definitely found that someone.LOL. Yes agreed it is a conspiracy. I would rather use butter because it tastes better but if you are a vegan then I am totally on board with the coconut thing. We however Sherry are obviously coconut averse.

    I want to see the cake! I’d probably dip something in the pancake batter and deep fry it or make a mess by dipping a ham and cheese sandwich in in and putting it in a jaffle maker. 🙂

    Looks delicious!!
    As for the pancake batter…I thinking what you might be trialling….I thought maybe using it to deep fry chicken maybe?? And that’s as far as I can think!! Good luck with the engagement cake too.
