  • Double Chocolate Muffins {vegan, gluten-free}

    Double Chocolate Muffins {vegan, gluten-free}

    These muffins taste very decadently of rich, dark chocolate, yet they are surprisingly healthy.  I first came across the original recipe, created by Thomas, on his interesting food blog called “Full of Plants”.  His recipe is actually quite healthy as it is, but I wanted to try to eliminate any added sugars, preferring that any

  • Almond Milk

    Almond Milk

    I thought it fitting that the first recipe on this blog should be for almond milk.  It’s easy to make, and is so delicious, with its hint of marzipan and natural sweetness.  Almond milk is excellent on cereal, can replace dairy milk in most recipes, and will make an acceptable latte. I like raw, organic
