Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

I have been enjoying homemade Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding for over a year now, but it is one of those recipes that seems so easy to make that I have been hesitating to put it up on the blog…  Not because I think it is too obvious to share, on the contrary, I think people [...]

Gluten-Free Pizzelle

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

I have not been feeling very festive so far this December, but my one holiday indulgence has been these pizzelle.  Over a year ago I purchased a waffle iron that came with plates to make hot sandwiches and pizzelle too.  I was so excited, but never tested out the pizzelle maker.  Mostly because I had [...]

Chocolate Halvah Fudge

Saturday, September 8th, 2012

I can’t say that I eat halvah all that often.  Firstly it is not readily available in New Mexico, and secondly a lot of store made versions of halvah are way too sweet for me.  After looking it up to share some details about halvah with you, I discovered that halvah is a traditional dish [...]

Peanut Butter-Banana Muffins

Saturday, August 18th, 2012

I have a confession.  I am way too much of a perfectionist when it comes to this blog…and it is keeping me from blogging.  Apart from the fact that the summer season keeps my schedule inundated with spa work and private massage clients, my main excuse for not blogging is the perfectionist block. I have [...]

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

So when I was making the chocolate tartes the other day, I had some leftover filling…and one should never waste chocolate…  So I decided to make up some chocolates using the same base as the tartes.  I added in some chia seeds and shredded coconut to the mix and filled my little candy molds (something [...]

Mini Gluten Free Chocolate Tartes

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Not too long ago I discovered Hail Merry’s Miracle Tarts at the local health food store, and was hooked.  My favorite is the Mint Chocolate Miracle Tart…because what is better than chocolate and mint together?  The tarts are compact, rich and good for you!  Ever since then I have been trying to recreate the tart [...]
