Almonds. Dates. Coconut. Yes, they taste amazing. But when you combine them together you create belly-filling Bliss Balls that are the food equivalent of laying on a soft, overstuffed sofa. They’re round and comforting; they process in less than 10 minutes, my kids love them, my husband can’t keep his hands off them and me, I’m just obsessed. Superfood bliss balls definition: Gooey Medjool dates combined with almonds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, bound with coconut nectar, coconut oil, tahini, pulsed into a moist pile, formed into very large balls of decadent, sweet chewiness. Let the dipping begin. Rogue out on whatever toppings you like; I used crushed almonds, chia seeds, cacao nibs and…

BROCCOLI STIR FRY WITH KELP NOODLES
A few weeks ago, my mouth experienced personal growth with this delicious broccoli stir fry made with kelp noodles. There are a lot of noodles you can use to make stir-fries, but I am here to tell you that there is nothing more satisfying and healthier than using kelp noodles. CHECK THE STATS: Kelp is a sea vegetable with a rich content of trace minerals that includes iodine. Kelp noodles are gluten-free, fat-free, low in carbohydrates and calories. Still not convinced? Kelp screams fishy taste, right? Wrong. Believe it or not, the taste is neutral, so it takes on the flavor profile of the recipe. In this case, the garlic…

MULBERRY CEREAL WITH FRESH FRUIT
This was supposed to be a post about Mulberry cereal topped with glistening fresh fruit-specifically how Mulberries are high in antioxidants, vitamin C, and resveratrol. It was supposed to be about where mulberries come from (the mulberries I used are grown in Turkey), how perfectly sun-dried they are with a chewy texture that bursts with goodness, and a taste so intense it’ll have you eating them straight from the bag. Beyond their sweet and delicate flavor, mulberries are a must-have to enhance your culinary creations. You will soon learn that this post has everything to do with my desire to bathe in the sun. This week we’ve experienced temperatures in…

PERFECT VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Peace Peeps! My month-long much-needed hiatus has come to an end, my friends. I missed you guys!! My mind, body, and soul required my immediate attention, so I had to oblige by; spending a week-long vacation nestled in the cottages of King’s Creek. I indulged in weeks of self-pampering that included; zenful daily meditation (which I’m loving), journaling, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, juicing fresh juice by the gallon, and catching up on life in its present form. Did I mention self-pampering? Hmm… anything else? Yes, as a matter of fact. Since I’ve been on this unapologetically love thyself tour, I’ve been baking batch, after batch of these vegan chocolate…

PEAR AND PURPLE POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD SEEDS
Before we go all greedy on this pear and purple potato salad, let’s catch up, shall we?! Happy New Year! Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Yes, it’s been a while my friends, but first things must come first. I hope your New Year has been amazing thus far, you haven’t ditched your resolutions, have you? I’ve learned over the years, that the New Year should be about finishing what you’ve started rather than, starting something new, it’s much easier, and it’s guilt-free in my humble opinion. So, a lot has happened in my life since I last posted. Well, let’s see, I transitioned into a Vegan lifestyle. Yep, I…

HOMEMADE POMEGRANATE SCONES WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE
I’m living under cold, dark, gloomy, gray skies, my friends. Literally! I woke up to a rainy morning on Sunday, and it’s been raining ever since. I went outside on Monday and nearly froze my face off. The winds bullied me back indoors with what felt like a roundhouse kick to the face. {FYI: I’ve never been roundhouse kicked in the face.} I’m still recovering from a relaxing weekend that included listening to Adele’s ’25’ cd on repeat and devouring these big, soft, and crumbly pomegranate scones with an unforgettable scent of butter, drizzled with pink PM glaze that’s delicious, sweet, and undoubtedly the best scone I’ve made. It’s been…
