Fig + Hazelnut + Chocolate = Cookies

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

My favorite gelateria in Florence is Gelateria La Carraia for two reasons. Reason #1 They are the best bang for the buck (euro).  You see, I lived in Florence before and after the euro came into creation.  Before the euro, the smallest gelato cost 1,000 lira in most gelaterie.  That was about 50 cents (American).  […]

Coconut Hot Chocolate

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

It is cold here in Santa Fe!  I know that the Northeast and Midwest are getting a whole lot more snow that we have so far this winter, but…it was -2 degrees this morning, and didn’t warm up much more than that.  Apparently there is even a state of emergency here in Northern New Mexico, […]

Chocolate Pudding Smoothie

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

I am building a new business…  Preparing marketing materials, strategizing on fliers, business cards, how to best use social media…  Planning opportunities to network in person and connect with people in my community.  But, I am shy, so while I tread into new territory, and step out of my comfort zone to make new connections […]

Raw Apple Sauce

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Ever since I moved out West, I have been a big fan of Vitamin Cottage.  I find it more down-to-earth than Whole Foods, and with better prices on most items…and has more gluten-free, health geared options than Trader Joe’s.  So, a large percentage of my shopping is completed here… But I am definitely one to […]

Quinoa Broccoli Salad

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

Last night was so much fun!  After much anticipation, I finally co-hosted a swishing party (I have been hoping to do this for a while now).  For those of you who do not know about swishing, basically it is a great way to get a bunch of friends together and swap clothing.  It was great!  […]

Sweet Pea and Mint Soup

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

As I mentioned in my last post, I am taking a mini-cleanse weekend.  Hopefully a jump start to reconnecting with my love for vegetables, and savory breakfast soups.  Saturday was day 1 and it went really well.  Yes, I did have cravings, but I did not give in.  I reassured myself that I will be […]

Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The holidays are coming, work is slow, it is cold and dark…and I am craving chocolate.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been enjoying Pamela’s Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, but I truly prefer to bake for myself.  Since I didn’t have my own cocoa cookie recipe yet, I decided to do […]
