Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that anyone with a sweet tooth has a deep appreciation for the 7 Layer Bar, or whatever it is you call that sweet, crunchy, gooey, coconutty, chocolate-flecked, caramel-laden dessert filled with sweetened condensed milk. Never in a million years did any of us think that this bar could be remotely healthy, right? Well . . . let’s just say I found a couple bloggers who made […]
Anyone else ready for 2015 to end and 2016 to begin? Close one door, and open another? I will happily continue to nurture the relationships, ideas, and aspirations from 2015, but in other ways I need a fresh start. I recently left a job that I had committed myself to this past year, and I’m recovering from a stubborn respiratory infection that knocked me down early last week, just in time for Christmas. So let’s […]

I came up with this apple cider-esque latte that is oh so comforting and captures the […]

My love affair with fall has something to do with the gorgeous weather and slower pace of life. And the transition from summer to chilly weather gives me a reason to buy new sweaters and boots. And let’s not forget, the FOOD. There is something about the food this time […]
This recipe may not be 100 percent plant-based, however, I can totally justify using a few eggs because these beautiful little tarts that capture the flavors of fall are just so damn healthy. They are mostly beans and pumpkin, but with a little magic (I may or may not have a wand) they turn into familiar pie we all know and love. Nut-free, grain-free, and dairy-free, yet they taste rich and satisfying, this recipe is a […]
