I need to start off this post with a little edit of the previous posting. I was over hasty when I said I quit my part time gig. I spoke with the owner of Healeo this weekend (he hadn’t gotten my message about not being able to make it work) and we discussed it. We [...]

Chocolate Covered Nut Balls

These really should be called “Crust Balls” because they were originally made into a crust for a raw pie. There was extra “crust” and so I had to try a bite. Immediate addiction. MUST MAKE CRUST BALLS. Crust Balls just doesn’t have the appropriate ring though, so behold the NUT BALLS. [...]

I have a new love! Matt and I were shopping at Whole Foods yesterday (I gave up my boycott a few weeks ago), and I was picking up my usual box of quinoa flakes when I saw something incredible.

Crust-less Pumpkin Pie

I know it’s too late for your Thanksgiving tables, but it really is quite delicious for breakfast or dessert anytime you can get your hands on pumpkin purée or a fresh pumpkin. I baked Matt the same pie but used regular sugar and poured it into a vegan crust. I had a bite of his [...]

As promised, here is the recipe I have been using to make raw pumpkin pie at Healeo. We only had one order for a whole pie, but we have been selling out of the slices quickly. After Thanksgiving I am going to move on from Pumpkin though. I haven’t tried this recipe in anything but [...]

AKA Rain. It’s raining in Seattle again folks. Not that that will surprise anyone, though I do know it makes one Venezuelan beauty a bit teary. Personally I love this weather. I love the rain and what it brings. I am a big fan of moss, and green, and grey skies, cozy coffee shops, mushrooms, [...]

My BIG News!

I wanted to wait until I worked my first day to share the exciting news, but I recently got a part time job at my favorite health cafe, Healeo. I have to give my friend Valentina credit for part of this, as we both follow Healeo on Twitter and she clued me in to an [...]

Mini Pumpkin Custards

The first stirrings of Autumn are here. We got a lot of rain this weekend. Much needed rain. To most of the country Seattle seems like a damp and dreary place. What most people don’t know is that our annual rainfall isn’t all that much. We have gone through a drought this Summer and last [...]

I was gifted a few pounds of peaches from a friend’s tree, and with the success of my blackberry cobbler I had to try my hand at a peach cobbler. Sadly Matt isn’t a fan of peaches…oh well, I guess this one is all mine ;-)
