Pumpkin & Pomegranate

Seattle has been experiencing a “cold snap” this week, and by “cold snap” I mean it is crazy cold for Seattle.  I don’t think it has gotten much above freezing in the past week, and my body isn’t used to it! Last night I decided I was going to just soldier through and go on [...]

Exhibit A:

So I’m having a little chocolate with my breakfast. What’s the big deal? That happens to be a big warm bowl of buckwheat mixed with cocoa powder, coconut milk, a banana, some stevia, a little vanilla, and a big dollop of Sunbutter. Thanks to Heather for mentioning this variety that is JUST sunflower seeds [...]

I apologize again for being quiet. There are things I have been thinking about, and I haven’t wanted to put them all in the blog just yet as I am still sorting them out in my noggin, but I will tell you what I am working on right now. Perhaps I just need feedback from [...]

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, [...]

Sometimes you just want a chip. You want a way to get the dip to your bouche without using your fingers (though truth be told I often run out of crudité and resort to the finger technique). I miss a chip, and while I could make crackers or mix up a batch of pulp chips [...]

On Saturday  I started off the morning at my favorite coffee place. Fonté is in downtown Seattle, so it is a bit of a trek (plus paying for parking), but the coffee is so worth it. I had a little bit of time to catch up on my magazines before heading out to drop off [...]

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 [...]

I had such a wonderful visit with my father this past weekend. It was pretty packed, and surprisingly I don’t feel drained like I usually would if I hadn’t had any real rest. On Saturday we spent time in Seattle, we did a little shopping and then hit up the Kubota Garden. We had been [...]

Last night was Wednesday, so as usual Matt came over for dinner. He has been wanting spanakopita, but with so much fresh produce from my CSA box he will just have to wait until another night. I am still working on ideas on how to mimic the Greek spinach pie without grain so I can [...]

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 [...]
