raw chocolate banana superfood ice cream cake - and cry!   [gallery columns="4" ids="671,673,674,675"] This sums up a lot of the lovely meeting I had the other day with one of my dearest friends, Vanessa. We've been buds for a while now- coming up 7 years, I would say (that's a lot when you consider it is over Œ of my life thus far). Usually, when we hang out, it is pretty productive. I mean, we've got stuff to do. Mostly, we've got food to eat (or, make, eat, and blog about- sometimes in that order). And thank my lucky stars that she is such a darned good cook with such an enormous heart. [caption id="attachment_672" align="alignright" width="225"]READ MORE

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. I was in the math club in high school, believe it or not.) This pie is raw, so it is really pretty easy to make- not that I've ever tried, but apparently making real, baked pies can be really complicated (hopefully I will never find out…). Four layers of delicious! Plus crust and shaved chocolate- winner, w

raw truffles, coconut sugar sweetened, raw, organic, vegan, fair trade, delicious, fancy, chocolates- they are here!   Hi Zimtees,   Just wanted to share a bit of news with you- in case you haven't heard… we now have some pretty fancy chocolates in our roster of already pretty fancy chocolates. I wanted to get these ones out in time for Valentine's Day, because, well… apparently these sorts of treats are pretty popular this time of year. Background information, though, needs to be shared. 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

raw vegan cheesecake … made with zucchini. Don't run away yet! I promise you that you will not be disappointed, should you accept the challenge (but it isn't really a challenge as it is so easy), to make, and eat, this cheesecake.   [gallery ids="423,424,426"] [gallery columns="2" ids="427,425"] Zucchini, like my personal favourite - cauliflower, is an incredibly versatile veggie- rather neutral in flavour, it lends itself really well to a variety of cuisine.
