Lately, I’ve been on a roll of finding products that make me suddenly like foods I normally don’t. Tahini is one of those foods. I know I’m in the minority on this. Most people love tahini and put it in everything. I’ve just never liked the taste. It’s fine in hummus but on its own, […]

Vegan Ice Cream Bon Bons and Review of NadaMoo Dairy-Free Desserts
Let me tell you about me and ice cream. Don’t expect a love story, though, because that’s not it. As a kid I liked ice cream. Of course I did; what child doesn’t like ice cream? But I didn’t love it. When the ice cream truck would drive by, the “Pop Goes the Weasel” […]
Chocolate-Covered Cheesecake Bites with Madecasse Chocolate
If you know me from my blog posts, then you know I’m not a huge fan of chocolate and sweets. I’m much more of a savory girl. But if there were a chocolate that could change my mind, Madécasse is the company that makes it. The story of Madécasse is enough to make you fall […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Fudge
This may be the shortest recipe I’ve ever posted. Unlike most of my savory dishes, it doesn’t have a dozen herbs and spices. And unlike many of my recipes, it has only 4 rather than 40 ingredients (5 if you count the cooking oil spray which is optional). Even my dessert recipes usually have a […]
Raw or Almost Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
I don’t post a lot of raw recipes. In fact, this may only be the second one in the years since this blog began. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for raw food but except for salads, I prefer my food hot. The hotter, the better. Cheesecake, however, is one food you don’t eat hot […]

Gluten-Free Cookies For Santa: Chocolate Hazelnut Drop Cookies and Chai Spice Cookies
Did you hear the news about Santa? If the word on the strip mall circuit is correct, Santa has gone gluten-free! Apparently, all the flour from all the cookies all these years has taken a toll on his intestines. Maybe Santa’s round belly is filled with more bloating gases than jelly. I also hear that […]

Making one that’s not only homemade but vegan, gluten-free and healthy (relatively) too! These brownies are made with black beans, peanut butter and cocoa. Instead of flour, this recipe uses oats.

Chia Puddings: Chocolate Blackberry and Vanilla Banana
“Chi Chi Chia..” Who would have thought that the fad gift of the Chia Pet would end up being the source of a superfood decades later? But it’s true. Chia Seeds are an amazing food that you should add to your diet! This edible seed which comes from the mint family has some great nutritional benefits. […]
Product Review: Lagusta’s Luscious
They say good things come in 3’s and that has never been more true than right now. I’ve done 2 reviews for places in New Paltz, NY before: the amazing, mind-blowing, organic eatery, Karma Road, and the hip, fun Italian restaurant filled with vegan and gluten-free options, Rock Da Pasta. Now this college town hits […]
Chocolate-Covered Matzoh
Now that the Passover seders are over, we turn our thoughts to other poignant questions about life, freedom, peace and…what to do the rest of our matzoh (and which way are we really supposed to spell it: with or without the “h”.) Sure, we can eat Fried Matzo and Matzo Brei all week. We can enjoy […]
