  • S’mores Mousse Pie

    S’mores Mousse Pie

    GUYYYYSSSSSS! I made the most amazing dessert. New favorite for SURE.  This pie is a MESS. It’s amazing I got a piece of pie out this clean to snap some pictures of. (Third time’s the charm!) It’s a total disaster. Sticky, messy, hard to keep together. Somehow I keep winding up with it all up…

  • Homemade Vegan Hot Cocoa Mix

    Homemade Vegan Hot Cocoa Mix

    Homemade. Vegan. Hot Cocoa. Mix. In case you didn’t read that title and you needed to see it again! I know, I know, it’s really not very hard to find vegan hot cocoa mix. But for me, it is just SO out of an acceptable price range. You’re lucky if you pay less than $2.00…

  • Chocolate Amaretto Tart

    Ready for an insanely decadent chocolate treat?! This chocolate amaretto tart is it. It’s SO rich. Each time I serve it I cut a smaller and smaller sliver and yet I still can’t finish the damn thing! Because it’s soooo indulgent. Just what you wanted to kick off a new year full of resolutions to…

  • Chocolate Chai Coconut Water Protein Shake Thing

    Good morning, internet friends! I successfully got up and worked out this morning! Whew! It is seriously difficult to get up before 6 am. Okay, some days that’s near impossible too. But I’m thrilled I got up and got moving, and I mixed up this awesome drink (it was an experiment but it worked) for a…

  • Homemade Vegan Chocolate Protein Powder

    Happy Friday!!! Not surprisingly at all, I’m WAY excited that it’s almost the weekend 🙂 High Five for Friday post going up this afternoon! But to kick off this Friday right, I’ve got a MAD simple recipe for homemade vegan protein powder. I am trying to back away from all the over-processed soy products so…

  • Chocolate Chai Recovery Milkshake

    Have you noticed my chocolate chai kick lately? I went through a box of Tazo’s new chocolate chai tea latte concentrate, and dang was it good.Last weekend I went on a great run (it was only great because I kept going despite all the crappy weather/pain/allergies/etc.) in some blustery pollen-filled weather. When I got back, I…

  • Gooey Secret-Ingredient Frosted Brownies

    Oh man, I made the best damn brownies last week. I’m sorry if that’s totally pompous, but they were crazy good. So good that I hoarded most of them to myself and slowly ate every single last bite. I shared a little with Preston. I handed him a fork as I clutched the brownie pan…

  • Easy Cupboard Trail Mix

    Here’s the trail mix recipe I mentioned yesterday! Trail mix is a fantastic thing to take with you when you’re literally snacking on it on a hiking trail, but it’s also a great filling snack when you need one. This is what I threw in mine because it was all things that I already had…

  • Hazelnut Sipping Chocolate

    When you were little, did you ever make a batch of hot cocoa that was pretty much equal parts cocoa mix to water/milk?  (Hope I’m not the only one…)  Well, here’s the adult version.  To make it sound like a classy adult-appropriate drink, we can call it “Sipping Chocolate” a la Trader Joe’s.   I saw…

  • Chocolate Babka

    I have had a torn out recipe from Cooking Light for years: chocolate babka.   Even though I cook all the time, there are still recipes every now and then that are completely intimidating.  This was one of them.   One that I simply decided to get over.  Last week when I made my simple white bread,…
