Why Asparagus:

Asparagus is one of the more nutritionally valuable vegetables. It is the best vegetable for folic acid which is necessary for blood formation, as well as liver disease prevention. Folic acid is also important for women who are pregnant as it aids in the prevention of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in the developing fetus.




Cheesecakes are my weakness. Rupert has taught me how to create a cheesecake from tofu that is yummy and healthy.

This recipe is a basic one and can be adjusted by adding fresh juices, coconut milk, or any variation of items. I love to take coconut flakes and add a half of cup to the recipe. You can make a fruit topping and pour over the cheesecake just before refrigeration.
