Comforting Hot Cacao

Okay. I know, I know, I know, I said I wouldn't post any food or drink recipes.. but this one, I just couldn't resist! The perfect pick-me-up for a cold, late afternoon in December, hot cacao was exactly what I needed today to lift my spirits...and lift my spirits, it did! This recipe, which I adapted from Valentina Zelyaeva's blog (who has tons of great juice and smoothie recipes) was WAY too good to keep all to myself.

A Vegan's Right to Snickers: Three Delicious Halloween Treats Everyone Can Enjoy

Halloween circa early 1990s. That's me on the far left. 

As a kid, for me the real joy of Halloween wasn't in dressing up like famous figures or Hollywood movie stars, nor was it rush of adrenaline received while being spooked by neighbors who took the holiday all too seriously. No, it was none of these things. For me, Halloween was about one thing and one thing only: the candy.

Juicing, A to Z

I don't usually post about food or juicing since I originally intended for this blog to be strictly about vegan fashion, however, I recently found this article in the Wall Street Journal and thought it was too good to not share. So for those interested in juicing, this is a great read on how to take your juices to the next level (not to mention some cool new cocktail concoctions!)

Cacao Mint Chip Smoothie

When it comes to deserts, nothing beats chocolate mint chip ice cream. That's what I thought, at least, until I found this vegan Mint Cacao Chip smoothie recipe (which I adapted from Cocoa Bliss Smoothie recipe from Whole Foods).

This Mint Cacao Chip smoothie is my favorite "go-to" recipe for when I have a sweet tooth. Better yet, this recipe is made of all natural and wholesome ingredients and is 100% vegan and gluten free.
