Chocolates with Chia Seed and Coconut
Wednesday, February 8th, 2012
So when I was making the chocolate tartes the other day, I had some leftover filling…and one should never waste chocolate… So I decided to make up some chocolates using the same base as the tartes. I added in some chia seeds and shredded coconut to the mix and filled my little candy molds (something […]

Mini Gluten Free Chocolate Tartes
Monday, February 6th, 2012
Not too long ago I discovered Hail Merry’s Miracle Tarts at the local health food store, and was hooked. My favorite is the Mint Chocolate Miracle Tart…because what is better than chocolate and mint together? The tarts are compact, rich and good for you! Ever since then I have been trying to recreate the tart […]

Gluten Free Gingerbread Loaf
Friday, December 23rd, 2011
We have had some magical snowy weather lately here in Santa Fe. Last night when I was returning from work late at night, the snow was just starting to stick to the ground, there were very few people out on the roads and the streetlights were illuminating the flurries of white. It was so sweet. […]

Apple Ginger Squash Muffins – Gluten-Free
Monday, October 31st, 2011
Happy Halloween! That’s it though…that is about as far as my Halloween celebration goes. You see, I am not big on Halloween. I am not big on costumes, candy and things that are scary. Costumes for me involve dressing up and feeling fancy…so basically I would just like to go out to a nice dinner […]

Tropical Cilantro Smoothie
Saturday, October 29th, 2011
Mom I know you are probably making some faces right now…maybe a few sounds affects too. Something to the sentiment of “yuck!” or “eww!” But keep reading, because I think you are going to like this. You see, my mother hates cilantro. She says it tastes like soap in her mouth, and I know she […]

Warm Chia Seed Nog – Dairy Free
Monday, October 24th, 2011
As soon as the weather gets cool, I am ready to start enjoying my homemade “egg nog”. I think this year it was actually early October that I made my first cup because we had an unusual cold-snap for a few days, and the instinct kicked in. We had a huge rain storm throughout the […]

Gluten-Free Chocolate Muffins
Friday, July 29th, 2011
Chocolate Banana Bread…becomes muffins! Ta-da! I have to say, I think that this is a genius move…not only because it keeps me from eating a whole loaf of sweet bread in one sitting (because now I have “portions” with each muffin) but also because these muffins can totally double as cupcakes. Personally, I don’t really […]

Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011
I am eating this as I write, and I have to say, I am having a hard time taking a break to type. I just want to keep eating it. Now this recipe is not new to me, and not new to this blog actually. I have been making it for about a year now, […]
