raw, vegan, Nanaimo Bar Recipe   Or more accurately conveyed: Eat-Your-(Greens)-raw-vegan-Nanaimo-(esque)-Bar-Recipe [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300"] this photo reeeeeeally does not do the product justice. I'm sorry. It is honestly completely appetizing! [/caption]

Quadruple Layer Raw, Vegan, Caramel Banana Cream Pie   I'm on my second piece in a row… within about 10 minutes. Because it is that delicious- it cannot be helped! Plus, I have to make up for not having pie on Pi(e) Day (March 14th, as the number, Pi, begins with 3.14 (so excited for 2015, when it will be 3.1415!!!!! - the exclamationpoints are purely grammatical to reflect my eager anticipation, not mathematical which would mean a crazy long line of multiplication.

It all started just over three years ago, when I was figuring out how to even remotely begin to think of starting a chocolate company. Having zero idea, there was a lot to learn (and, there still is.). Initially, my idea had been to make a macaroon company. But I felt really

What happens if you bake a Zimt Cookie Dough Cup? At 350F, for 10 minutes (out of the compostable packaging, of course). I have been asked this question many, many times! And up until this afternoon, I only had a hypothesis: the cookie dough cup, due to the coconut oil and coconut butter content, would flatten out like a delicious pancake - coconut oil liquifies with the heat of an oven set to bake cookies.

Happy Saturday, Everyone =) I think it is going to be a good day. Why? I'm determined. Why else? … did you read the title of this post? I made this popcorn a few weeks ago to send to a retailer, to whom I am interested in supplying Zimt, as we
