I am such a sucker for good chocolate, but have you seen the price tag attached to organic vegan dark chocolate? Thank goodness, when I began venturing into the raw lifestyle, I discovered how simple it is to make healthy and delicious homemade chocolate. Recently, I took my chocolate to the next level by adding some […]

Vanilla Cashew Cream
One of my favorite nuts is cashews, besides almonds of course. They are not only tasty but just perfect for sweet and not so sweet dips, pies, vegan cheeses, homemade cashew milk and smoothies. I always have them on hand at home. I soak a large batch and after 4 hours, rinse them and pop them in the freezer for future use. So […]
Vegan Mayonnaise
I never really ate that much mayonnaise except for the occasional potato salad in the summer or an egg or tuna sandwich. Since I don’t eat tuna at all and eggs and potatoes are a rare thing, I never really missed it. Then I discovered I could make eggless potato salad and tunaless and eggless […]

Chocolate Green Smoothie

Usually the latter is a great option for kids—that’s why this chocolate green smoothie recipe is a win-win for everyone. Kids […]
Hazelnut Butter Filled Chocolates
These small little chocolates are perfect to curb your sweet tooth craving. The hazelnut filling stays nice and creamy, while the chocolate is firm and crunchy. I am so happy they turned out the way they did. J.P was pleasantly surprised by my chocolate making skills, as was I! I have a few other flavors […]
