Merry Christmas, Everyone! Today I’m sharing a recipe for some raw truffles that I had a lot of fun with. These are fussier than the other recipes I post, but it’s the holidays, so what the hell! This season should really involve slowing down to enjoy the simple things, creating more self-love, and helping others. Sadly, every year it seems more people become caught up in the stress and hustle of it all, which completely […]
I am thrilled to announce that my comment and The Naked Food Life are featured on the opening page of Melissa King’s (My Whole Food Life) first cookbook, DIY Nut Milks, Nut Butters & More. Her blog is awesome – I highly recommend checking it out (and bookmarking it!) if you have not visited the site. The fact that my name is next to Joy Bauer, Emily Von Euw and other successful bloggers is so humbling, and […]
Let me tell you: this is not one of those recipes that I leisurely created after doing hours of research, compiling recipes, trial runs, etc. These cupcakes were first created out of pure necessity.

It falls between a traditional pie crust and shortdough crust in terms of texture and […]
This recipe is a refinement of the pumpkin pie cookies that I posted around this time last year. I was determined to make them healthier and just as tasty, and I am proud to say I succeeded. I am transitioning for using agave to other sweeteners when possible, and I am also focusing on replacing refined flours and grains with nuts because the healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals in nuts in incomparable. I highly […]
Why, I ask, have I waited so long to attempt to make a raw chocolate bar? I don’t know. But I am sure glad that I gave it a shot. Quick, easy, only 3 ingredients, and guilt-free. I’m all smiles over this one. Chocolate in its purest form, cacao is said to be one of the top superfoods, if not the number 1. So go ahead, eat the whole batch. It will more than satisfy […]
