Vegan Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cream Truffles
I’m on strike! I have the touch of death in the kitchen when it comes to baking as of late. I’m failing royally at everything I have a go at. It’s the endless cycle of baking gluten, egg, and dairy-free. You can never think you have arrived because there is always something new to learn,...
Non-Dairy Ranch Dressing
So a funny thing happened to me at work yesterday: Jillian Michaels came in. With the location of my job, celebrity spotting tends to be a daily happening, which is kind of a fun perk about what I do. I try not to ogle at them (well, there was one time when Bob Balaban from “Waiting for Guffman” and...
Raw Garden Herb Spreadable “Cheese”
Cashews are a lot like life. You have 2 choices with this nut: you see it for exactly what it is: just a nut; or you look beyond it and think of all the possibilities that you have the power to create from it. As life continues to settle for me with a new job,...
Raw Vegan “Goat” Cheese Dip
I was inspired by the idea of this recipe on Pinterest (now, for the life of me, I cannot find it!) a while back and have been brewing on an idea of how to translate it into a non-dairy version without the soy. This is the beauty of raw foods–anything can happen with a scoop...

Raw Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe Raw vegan, gluten, egg, soy, and dairy-free Ingredients 1 1/2 c soaked cashews, drained 1/3 c raw cacao powder (or regular cocoa powder)...
Raw Vegan Eggnog
There are some traditions that should never be let go of just because you cannot consume a certain type of food. For me, that’s eggnog, hands down–probably my most favorite part of this season. I used to never say no to eggnog… Imagine my delight when non-dairy milk brands were coming out with their own...
Raw White Chocolate
The pumpkin is carved, my costume is ironed, and the candy is ready for passing out to kids… …And now the tastiest raw white chocolate recipe has just been created. Finally! I am ready for Halloween. These Raw White Chocolate Bones give a whole new meaning to having a freezer full of bones. What? Is it...
Raw Chocolate Spider Bites
It’s been difficult keeping up in my Halloween kitchen lately. There are various reasons why but the only one that is actually interesting is because of spiders. That’s not a typo either–my life has actually been infested with spiders. Not just any kind of spiders though, in fact, they aren’t actual tangible ones. I have been...
Chocolate-Covered Macaroon Ghost Pops
I am the first person to admit that I am the biggest scaredy cat. I am the easiest person to scare, in fact, all you have to do is leave a room and then re-enter and chances are I will jump from fright. That is rather pathetic to admit outloud, I’m thinking… Yet knowing this, it still does not...
Raw Fudgy Brownies

{Almost} Raw Pumpkin Pie Parfaits
What??? A post without frightful props? What happened?!! Now, don’t be getting too comfy cozy over here with these non-scary photos. Sure, today they are sans severed fingers and bloody hands but that doesn’t mean they are gone forever. Oh no! You’d have to check my temperature if half-way through the month I stop the Halloween fun…...
Raw Witches Fingers
Raw food used to scare me. Come to think of it, so did gluten-free/vegan baking. It just felt like this monolithic presence, impossible to conquer. In fact, it was more overwhelming just thinking about where and how to start that I could never get past the crippling fear. I have come to find that, with...
