Bark?

Question mark in the title because I’m not sure this is bark like the kind you get from the store or the kind you see at every holiday party between December and January.  But it’s chocolate that you break off in whatever shape you want, so maybe that’s qualification enough. I’ve made this a few times and decided to share the “recipe” although it’s something I tweak with each go.  The permutations with coconut oil and cocoa powder are endless, so I’ll offer suggestions at the end too. Coconut Chocolate Bark [vegan, gluten free, soy free,… Read more >

P is for pitaya

We’ve developed a little obsession over here in the hippie household.  At least, pacman and I have. Pitaya is all the rage.  Just ask my taste buds.  And my son’s.

The weekly menu

We had some good ass eats this week, if I do say so myself! I made this sumac salmon dish for my family’s cookbook club (finally getting that back up in action after some time off – mostly due to my pregnancy and postpartum slacking). I assembled and marinated it all and Kyle grilled it.  The fish was from Costco and after dividing up the remaining 3/4 that we bought, I vacuum pack sealed it and froze it.  Such a good deal.  The sumac is from a fancy shmancy spice store in LA and was a… Read more >

Powders and produce for smoothies

Since smoothies have been dominating my morning routine I have gone through a lot of different ingredients – from protein and green powders to frozen fruit and veggies. Here are my thoughts on what I’ve tried so far…maybe you will find something you are interested in trying out too? ****** Amazing Grass is one of my favorite companies and they have tons of products.  I’ve never found one I don’t like.  I prefer the chocolate amazing meal above all the others (as a main ingredient in a smoothie), but they make green superfood powders too that can… Read more >
