Homemade Vegan Nutella
Friday, April 22nd, 2011
Finally, I did it! I have been promising myself for way too long that I would make my own Choco-Hazelnut spread. I was super excited and looking forward to it all day. This morning I got on the ball, and toasted the hazelnuts before starting work. I let them cool, and around lunch-time I took […]

Making New Friends
Saturday, April 2nd, 2011
The weekend has arrived, I am sitting on my porch reflecting on the beautiful week that just passed here in Santa Fe. Spring is arriving, and blossoms are peeking out of every corner. Daffodils, apricot buds, and possibly even cherries. (I still have to learn how to identify all of the flowers…) Soon enough there […]

Mele in Cartoccio – Baked Apples
Thursday, March 10th, 2011
I lucked out at Vitamin Cottage again the other day. More $1 bags of organic apples… So I bought two. I recreated my Raw Apple Sauce recipe and then decided to whip up an old favorite: Mele in Cartoccio. I first discovered this recipe while I was living in Florence, Italy. I used to collect […]

Coconut Hot Chocolate
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
It is cold here in Santa Fe! I know that the Northeast and Midwest are getting a whole lot more snow that we have so far this winter, but…it was -2 degrees this morning, and didn’t warm up much more than that. Apparently there is even a state of emergency here in Northern New Mexico, […]

Chocolate Pudding Smoothie
Thursday, January 27th, 2011
I am building a new business… Preparing marketing materials, strategizing on fliers, business cards, how to best use social media… Planning opportunities to network in person and connect with people in my community. But, I am shy, so while I tread into new territory, and step out of my comfort zone to make new connections […]

Raw Apple Sauce
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Ever since I moved out West, I have been a big fan of Vitamin Cottage. I find it more down-to-earth than Whole Foods, and with better prices on most items…and has more gluten-free, health geared options than Trader Joe’s. So, a large percentage of my shopping is completed here… But I am definitely one to […]

Greensicle Smoothie
Friday, January 14th, 2011
Fresh fruit and veggies are feeling good right now. Like many, after the holidays (the cold weather and the dark skies) I am ready for a cleanse. Somehow in the last few months, chocolate, baked goods, and salty snacks have become a much more frequent ingredient in my daily consumption than I would prefer. And […]
