The exciting challenge of using healthy ingredients in all my recipes has invited me to become somewhat creative over the years. I want every morsel to be jam-packed with nutritional goodness, for my health, longevity and all-around good vibrations. There's something especially delightful about recreating a recipe that would traditionally be filled with sugar, wheat [...]
Superfood sweet treats are easy to get excited about. They are surprisingly easy to make and in the case of today's Blueberry & Chocolate Fudge Pie, require no baking what-so-ever. This dessert just happened effortlessly when I was in the flow in my kitchen recently. I started off earlier by soaking the cashew nuts, allowing [...]
I couldn't resist getting my heart-shaped cookie cutters out for these gluten-free vegan ginger cookies. Although really, you can use any shape or simply cut your cookie dough into squares or triangles. In today's recipe, I've created 'ginger shortbread cookies' and dipped them in some super healthy chocolate. Oh yes! You can make them without [...]
Maca is a welcomed gift of nature from high up the Andean Mountains of Peru. It has adapted to endure harsh conditions itself (harsh winds and cold temperatures) and so it's not surprising that it imparts some of those medicinal qualities to us amidst our own challenges of life.

If you've not yet heard of them, then you are in for a real treat! Today I am sharing a delightful version, made gluten-free, vegan and naturally sweetened. The filling is [...]
There's nothing like a bit of chocolate to elevate the mood! To be completely honest, I've actually been down a lot lately - grieving the loss of the 'love of my life'. I'd lose my appetite for days and weeks at a time, hardly eating anything at all. And then there was chocolate! During the times [...]
Crumble must be the easiest baked dessert out there. All you need is fruit (in this recipe I am using blackberries and apples) and a crumbly, rustic 'lovingly-thrown-together' crumble topping. Today I am sharing my gluten-free vegan blackberry crumble recipe... This was one of the first sorts of desserts that I used to make when [...]

Personally, it helps me to throw out any conventional ideas about pastry making, because the process for creating, is somewhat different (easier too).
