Mint and Watermelon Salsa.  Even though we’re only a couple of days into the week so far, I feel like it’s been one giant blur.

Raw Coconut Cranberry Cashew Fig BarsGood morning! I’ve got a little spring in my step! And it’s not just because it’s 80 degrees out and beautifully, wonderfully, actually spring. It’s because I whipped up a batch of these amazingly delicious, 100% vegan, fruit and nut bars. They taste super awesome, yo! For serious. I’m sure […]

Vegan Pomegranate Kahlua BrowniesWell, hello there, Beautiful! I see you’ve got a little secret you’re trying to keep from me… Is it that you’re studded with little jewels of pomegranate, or is it that you’re vegan? A vegan brownie that tastes this good? How is that even possible? Perhaps it’s because, among your many secrets, you’re […]

Black Pepper and Cranberry Maple Glazed Pecans.  Palm Springs was excellent and my birthday was a blast.
