There isn’t a huge void on the internet for many things . . .  In fact, there seems to be an abundance of just about everything! However – I have yet to find more than a handful of gluten free or vegan tres leches cakes, so this year for Cinco De Mayo I was determined to create an EPIC version that is both Vegan, Gluten Free, and less heavy on refined sugar! I made it […]

The plant-based yogurt game is STRONG these days which makes it easy and fun to get my probiotics in each day! Amongst my favorite brand is Lavva Yogurt made from. Pili nuts and coconut cream. It’s smooth, tangy, creamy and the perfect base for this quick Vanilla Mousse that makes a beautiful and memorable Spring dessert!

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 […]
