Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Thursday, June 26th, 2014

People come and go from our lives all the time. Not always in dramatic ways, sometimes it is just an ebb and flow of presence. Sometimes our relations – be it friendship or intimate relationships – are long and constant and other times they are sweet ephemeral bursts of connection. Having lived in 5 different […]

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 […]

Chocolates with Chia Seed and Coconut

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 […]

Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

I am eating this as I write, and I have to say, I am having a hard time taking a break to type.  I just want to keep eating it. Now this recipe is not new to me, and not new to this blog actually.  I have been making it for about a year now, […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

Lately I have been wondering why I haven’t seen rhubarb at the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market.  I feel like I have seen other bloggers making rhubarb deliciousness, and was wondering where it could be.  I am used to rhubarb being a symbol of springtime, and finally discovered it on Saturday at a local farmer’s stand.  […]

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 […]

Fig + Hazelnut + Chocolate = Cookies

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

My favorite gelateria in Florence is Gelateria La Carraia for two reasons. Reason #1 They are the best bang for the buck (euro).  You see, I lived in Florence before and after the euro came into creation.  Before the euro, the smallest gelato cost 1,000 lira in most gelaterie.  That was about 50 cents (American).  […]

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, […]
