I love sharing with you the recipes I’ve adjusted and adapted that make food, cooking and life more enjoyable while healing. Lately though I’ve been thinking...… Continue reading Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Cake – vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free
This peanut butter chocolate brownie cake I made last week was just way too good not to share. I found the recipe, thanks to my aunt, who recently introduced me to Sweet Laurel, a whole-foods bakery near where she lives in Los Angeles. If you haven't heard of them yet, you gotta check em out… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownie Cake
If there really were such a thing as a healthy truffle recipe, this would be it. I say that because I realize calling this a healthy truffle recipe to begin with is a bit of a stretch. Kind of like calling a cauliflower steak "steak"... no one's buying it. Where's the meat?!?!? So let's for… Continue reading Healthy Truffles

This homemade superfood dark chocolate is made with way better for you ingredients and NO refined sugar. Because, let's face it. Chocolate is inevitable. But here's my philosophy on chocolate: if you're gonna do it, eat the good stuff. Like, you could just snag a Hershey's Kiss from the candy jar... but why waste it… Continue reading A Superfood Dark Chocolate That’s Better and Healthier Than Anything at the Store
