Pumpkin & Pomegranate

Happy Memorial Day! I would like to take the time to personally thank all of the women and men who have sacrificed their lives serving the USA. I know that it is something that I personally could not do, and I am grateful to those who choose to wear the uniform. I hope that you [...]

Ice cream cravings have hit me with a vengeance. Since I shy away from agave and sugar, I have been left to my own devices. This isn’t new to me, as while I was on my big fat loss way I would often whip up a batch of “ice cream” made from frozen banana, almond [...]

Anyone ever watch Troop Beverly Hills? One of my favorite movies from my childhood, and while making these delights I thought that they would be the perfect way to snack on trail mix for the Beverly Hills Wilderness Girls. These won’t work out in a Zip-Loc baggie in a backpack, but they would still be [...]

last week I got a glorious package in the mail from Pom Wonderful. Eight beautiful little bottles full of garnet colored pomegranate juice. Being the pom lover I practically did a jig when I saw the box on my porch. I was overjoyed when I was contacted about the gift box a couple of weeks [...]

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 [...]

I am sitting on the couch right now with the game on, well a game. I am not exactly a football fan, but I keep Matt company for the last couple of hours for college football Saturdays. I tend to be a tad distracting when I show him things from Regretsy ;-) Tomorrow we are [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
