Raw Caramel Apples
Trick-or-Treat! Thank you to those who have been asking about my whereabouts in the past 3 days. You know me so well to know that something must have been up for me to not be around during MoFo/and my HAL*RAW*WEEN theme. The truth is that I poorly prepared for my niece’s visit from this weekend...
Raw Chocolate Cake Pops
I am having hauntingly delicious daydreams of these Raw Cake Pops, my most frightful friends. It was a most spooktacular moment, when from out of the food processor, I took a scoop of this dough with my finger to taste it. It was un-BOO-lievable. How is it possible that this could actually taste like a moist chocolate...
{Almost} Raw Snickers Bars
The moment you got home right after trick-or-treating was always the highlight of the night, wasn’t it? For me, there was no time wasted when I would rush into the living room floor, dump out the sugary loot, and then proceed to divide the candy into 2 piles: the good stash vs. the crappy stuff (which,...
Raw Peanut Butter Cups
Yesterday I indulged myself to a trip to one of those fun Halloween stores. You know, those pop up stores that appear in empty warehouses or stores come September, full of costumes, decorations and other fun hauntings?… I’m not gonna lie–I felt like I was at Disneyland for those 30 minutes. Well, *my* version of Disneyland, if Walt created...
Raw Peppermint Patties
Growing up, my mother was a total Halloween pusher. This probably explains my undeniable love for the holiday. Must be hereditary–it’s in my blood… It was never good enough that I wanted to be a Fairy Princess or a Ballerina. Oh no, in preparation for my costume, my mother would always say to me, “Why...
Raw Chocolate Bars
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Halloween is my most favorite holiday in the whole wide world. There is something magically delicious about this time for me; something that brings out my creativity in a way that nothing else can. And what better way to over-indulge myself than to celebrate all month long...
Raw Key Lime Pie
Talk about having your cake (er, pie) and eating it too, this raw key lime pie makes for the perfect breakfast. And I should know. I am currently eating a “slice” as I write this post. You might be asking yourself why slice is in quotes (or for some of you, you understand me completely). There is no such...
Raw Chocolate Sauce
The second “must-have” ingredient when making raw desserts is Raw Cacao Powder. A great source of antioxidants–it is said that raw cacao powder has a higher antioxidant content than blueberries and red wine. Full of essential minerals, this super versitile ingredient can be used in Chia Seed Pudding: Cashew Milk: Chocolate Pudding Pies: and this chocolate sauce: It is also...
No-Bake Apple Cobbler
A good friend said to me recently, Relationships can be confusing and frustrating and all of those things, but that usually stems from some illusion that things are expected to be a certain way. When you relax and let the universe show you just what you need, it usually ends up okay. Over the past...
Traffic, Slaw, and Finding Hope in All of It.
My beautiful friend Abby passed along a challenge to me to continue on a Blogger’s Relay about Hope. The point is to write about this little enigmatic word and pass it along. Now, I don’t typically do posts like this because well, I just don’t. But since this issue has been on my heart anyway, I thought...
Raw Whipped Cream
What happens when you combine super hot weather with a place that is null and void of air conditioning? You get one sweaty beast, that’s what. And by beast, I mean me. I’m melting, friends. It’s the kind of hot where, while sitting on a chair, you are nervously afraid to stand up in fear...
Raw Cadbury Eggs
So here is the where the post originally headed: These Cadbury Creme Eggs really turned out beautifully. If only things taste as good as they look. Kinda like my Lucky Charms. I just loved their look but truth be told, there really is no turn-on for tons of powdered sugar. Same with these eggs. They just...
