This is one of those moments where I have to eat my words. I’m sure if you searched through all my tweets you’d find one about how I’d never, ever eat a smoothie with spinach in it. Well the joke’s on me because I’ve been having one or more of these a day for the…

Raw Walnut Brownies
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. I don’t think that’s true always, but certainly in this case it is. It’s amazing what you can make with just dates, walnuts, and cocoa powder. This is something I’ve been making for years now. I think I learned the originally recipe from a food blog that no…
Copycat Chocolate Hazelnut Larabars
One of my most popular recipes is the raw/vegan chocolate cake I made last Summer, and every time someone new comments on the post or makes it for themselves and blogs their own mouth-watering photos(I’m looking at you, Texanerin) it makes me want it again. Well, cake every week is a bit much, even if…
Pumpkin Seed Trail Mix
I’m constantly eating during the day. I can never understand those people who “forget” to have a meal or go 6-7 hours without eating; the roaring of my stomach would not let me or anyone else in the room forget to eat. It just wouldn’t happen. On Monday I have a class for 5 straight…
Raw Chocolate Raspberry Ganache
From time to time I like to make “chocolate” with coconut oil, agave, and cocoa powder to keep in the refrigerator for a snack. It’s tasty and I can almost tell myself it’s healthy because I made it from scratch instead of peeling off a wrapper and eating a whole Hershey’s bar. The last time…
Firecracker Guacamole
The Superbowl is coming up; I only know that because The Voice premiers right after it and that’s what I really want to watch. Maybe I’ll sit through 3 hours of football or maybe I’ll just eat chips and dip the whole time and not look up at the TV; the latter sounds more fun….
Semi-Raw Chocolate Rum Truffles
This weekend I’m moving back to Providence, which means I’ll be just a short bus ride away from my favorite bakery again. Lord help me, my stomach, and my wallet. I keep trying to make some of their desserts in my own kitchen to save a little money, and I think I’ve figured out another…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Balls
Lately I’ve been obsessed with these raw fruit and nut snacks. And I’m always obsessed with chocolate peanut butter. I can’t understand what took me so long to combine the two. I’m not going to sugarcoat these and say they taste like Reese’s peanut butter cups; they don’t, and anyone who could get that flavor…
PB&J Balls
One of my favorite lunches growing up was a PB&J sandwich on white Wonderbread. Who doesn’t love peanut butter and jelly? And Wonderbread—that was just great stuff before anyone realized bread shouldn’t be glow-in-the-dark white. I’m getting sidetracked. What I meant to say was that these taste like the filling of a peanut butter and…
Raw Salted Almond Brownies
The last time I made raw brownies, I didn’t share the recipe. I wasn’t planning on it this time, either, but these came out so well I felt I’d be holding out if I didn’t share them. These almonds from Trader Joe’s are incredibly addicting; I’m pretty sure they’re all gone by now. Anything with…
