No recipe really required but something I definitely encourage you to try. Warm oven-roasted pears, the most luxurious vanilla cashew-based ice cream by So Delicious, and a drizzle of a locally made spicy cinnamon apple syrup. Have you ever had Hot Tamale candy? I can’t tell you how many pounds I used to eat, the […]
This is one of those recipes that happened when I was just winging it in the kitchen with no intention of making a recipe. I wrote the following in response to requests for the actual recipe after posting the picture so it’s more of the overall gist than a die-hard recipe. But it’s not complicated, […]
There’s something about the classic combo of peanut butter and jelly that we just don’t seem to ever outgrow. This is a slightly more evolved version from the white bread with the crusts cut off mess that I grew up on. But the same childlike happiness still applies. This is also our go-to flavor combo […]
There are ways to make traditional vegan caramel that involve lots of time at the stove with a candy thermometer and loads of sugar and refined fats, and in my case, seem to be hit or miss due to the temperamental nature of candy making. The funny thing is, I actually learned to make traditional […]
I had a 3 month stint on the Raw Til 4, 80/10/10-ish raw foods diet. I’ll spare you the details of my experience, mostly all good, but one thing for sure I can say is that it eliminated my cravings for sweets for the first time in my life. I’m no longer attempting a fully […]

{While this sounds like a sponsored post – this was originally written for another site elsewhere but was never published and why waste all that work when it’s a product I really love? The Soap Market’s candles are too good not to mention under Brands I love and their body butters are downright dreamy.) Clean Skin with […]
A healthy play on the old Orange Julius drinks from the mall food court, named after my son instead. But in all honesty, I haven’t had an Orange Julius in maybe 30 years and can’t quite recall what it tastes like, so if nothing else, it’s just a delicious and creamy orange citrus smoothie to […]
A hearty soup that works well during both the summer when the garden, or local farmer’s market, is overflowing with abundance of fresh leafy greens or during the winter to help take the edge off the chill in the air. Fennel seeds give this a rustic Italian feel, full of comfort. Feel free to replace […]
