If you love coffee and/or drink it every day, I cannot stress enough the importance of using an excellent pourover and buying freshly roasted, whole bean coffee! Truth is K-cups are wasteful. Coffee filters are wasteful. And although sometimes it’s necessary to grab a to-go beverage from a coffee shop or dare I say fast-food joint, it’s certainly wasteful to make it a daily habit. That being said, what’s the best way to create an […]

Sometimes I’m just chugging along at life – doing what I gotta do – and I need a cookie ASAP. Can you relate? Ya know those moments when, like, whipping together cookie dough becomes the most important thing to do that very second because your appetite becomes a BIG distraction?

There’s no shortage of raw/rawish cheesecakes around these parts, but I love creating unique flavor combinations and this Orange, Berry & Beet version (with a little spicy kick from ginger!) is certainly worth sharing.

These are quick and easy to make, and […]

My two drugs of choice, chocolate and coffee join forces in this decadent (yet gluten-free and vegan!) show-stopping tart. This dessert is perfect for the holidays and can be made a few days ahead of time 😉 Budino aka Italian pudding is typically made with sugar, cream and eggs but I created this plant-based sugarless version so you can indulge in a slice and still feel awesome!  Nut butter and coconut cream are healthy sources […]
