Avocado Creme Truffle Cups

An Avocado Truffle Cup and a dollop of cacao avocado mousse, that I could live off of, made by my friend Breanne. Yummers.

Ecuador: Part 1

Part 1 of my travels to Ecuador   Hello, Zimtees! Or should I say, "Hola". =)   I am in Ecuador- if you've been following the FB page at all, you already know that! I arrived last Tuesday (I think) and it has been pretty non-stop up until this very point. Like with everything Zimt does, I play a pretty big role. It is not the easiest thing to take on, being responsible for food that is going to thousands of people (a little daunting), but I want to do the best job I can, at every step.

Raw, Vegan, Caramel Banana Cream Pie

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. 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
