fudgy hazelnut brownie bites

October 23, 2012

Cacao! Does that make you think of Portlandia too? Today I bring you a dessert that is perfectly sweet, healthy, and comes together in five minutes. I have made these into round bites, and I have pressed them into a pan and cut them like traditional brownies. As is, they are raw – if you [...]

recipes with dates

August 27, 2012

I love dates. This week is date week with Meatless Monday A-Z. We are currently in Sonoma – we have actually been out of town on vacation since before last week’s caperberry cocktail party. Having no kitchen available all week, the only thing I’d be able to show you with dates is that photo above [...]

dark chocolate apricot truffles

August 24, 2012

Mmm, yum. I recently made truffles for my dad… for this birthday (another instance of what do you give the man who has everything?). Dad grew up in Hawaii, so his was a special recipe and I will share it soon. Delicious, I tell you what – Hawaii = guava. Dad’s truffles were adapted from [...]

vegan ‘goat’ cheese

August 17, 2012

In the Vegan Fusion class earlier this summer, one of the components in the raw and live phase was culturing. We learned about, made and drank Rejuvelac.

grapefruit kale chiffonade salad

June 28, 2012

I made a new kale salad yesterday. I chiffonaded the kale. Then piled it high in glorious salad freshness, and added grapefruit segments and hazelnuts. Kale and grapefruit and hazelnuts, oh my. One thing I definitely learned in my class this month? The beauty of massaging kale. I am now positive that I have enjoyed [...]

pomegranate cranberry hearts

February 9, 2012

Today I bring you yet another Valentines treat (I think I declared it Valentines Week?). As rich and flavorful as this recipe is, it is also very easy, and no bake. Even if you do not make the bars heart shaped, it is already appropriately colored for Valentines. Naturally and vibrantly colored. If you do [...]

raw caramel apple cobbler

September 21, 2011

R S T L N E Do those letters mean anything to you? My favorite game show is Wheel of Fortune (those are the free letters filled in for the final puzzle). Sitting at home, I’m pretty good at it too. When I was younger, my Hawaii Grandpa insist I’d “seen this episode on the [...]
