When I was a kid, heck, when I was an adult before transitioning to the vegan lifestyle I drank milk, and especially loved chocolate milk. For the last few weeks, I have been purchasing unsweetened coconut milk to add to my smoothies to make it extra creamy. I sometimes miss drinking something other then water. […]

Chocolate Fudge Bars
I am not sure if any of you know the talented Amber, from Almost Vegan, but if you don’t you should go check her out after you have read my recipe, of course. She is a mostly raw vegan chef and recently published her first raw recipe book, Practically Raw. I was lucky enough to […]
Raw Lemon Pie Bar
A few months ago, I posted a raw lemon pie recipe trying to replicate the Hail Merry lemon tarts. They turned out good, but not as lemony as I wanted, and couldn’t figure out why, since I used 5 lemons in the recipe! I recently decided to play around with the original recipe, and came […]

Almond Date Balls
