Pumpkin & Pomegranate

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 ;-)

Seattle has been going through a serious drought of late. Before 2 days ago we had gone 26 days without rain, oh wait…we did get .2 of an inch of rain on Saturday, my mistake! So 2 days ago I set out to take my usual stress relieving walk and lo and behold but the [...]

Wait! Don’t run away just yet…I know, I know…it sounds a tad odd, but remember the strawberry shortcake??? It looked lovely didn’t it?
I know beans don’t sound like the best thing to happen to brownies, but just think…brownies that are nutritious. There is no worry that you are doing damage by indulging. You won’t feel [...]

I don’t really need to dress up the title. It’s fudge. Do you need a reason? Oh? You do? Ok then…it’s HEALTHY fudge. There is no refined sugar, no dairy, there isn’t even any cooking involved. It’s takes about 5 minutes (if that) to prepare. It’s raw, it’s vegan, and it is incredibly satisfying if [...]

I have been craving strawberry shortcake for a while. I am from Texas, and as a kid my parents would take me to Luby’s Cafeteria, a Texas institution. I always wanted to get the Lu ann Platter with fried fish, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. My mother, being the hippie health-nut that she is, [...]
