Raw Cranberry Apple Tart


The Apple Tart option is an easy alternative but I wanted to tweak this recipe for Thanksgiving. This Cranberry Apple Tart is absolutely delicious!

Spicy Chipotle Almonds


This super on-the-go snack is great for travel, lunch box, or simply munching on while binging Netflix. I’ve only done these in a dehydrator, but I’m sure you could do a slow, low temperature bake as well. Let us know if you try this in comments

Living (No)-Egg Nog

I am in love with this living no-egg nog for the holidays. I have prepared this for Potlucks and parties...and everyone loves it. Feel free to substitute ingredients you don't have handy. I'm sure it will come out equally decadent! Here's my version:

Sesame-Almond Milk (Dairy Free)

 There is practically nothing on this Earth as yummy as fresh Almond Milk...(okay, well maybe Coconut Milk). Once you realize how easy this is to prepare, you can begin creating variations, adding even more nutrients and flavor to this remarkable beverage!  Today I prepared Sesame Almond Milk and it is delicious!

Twilight Zone Chocolate Bark


I pray you are all safe, sound and healthy during these challenging times. Self-care is super important right now! Take care of YOU!!! I treated me to this quick and easy version of my cacao bark. I know some of these ingredients may be new for some of you, but well worth investigating. There are several great online resources. Please comment below if you prepare this, want to try it...or, want me to prepare it for you. (Sorry...locals only).

Chocolate Kale Crunch

CRUNCHY! DELICIOUS! NUTRITIOUS! Not for the faint of heart! This treat is super crunchy and chock full of kale and therefore, probably best saved for those more experienced healthy eaters....but it is delicious!!! Feel free to spice it up even more! Get your greens on!!!

This can be made in a low temperature oven too...I’ve just not tried it. Comment below if you give this a whirl!

Zippy Zuchini Hummus

Quick, easy and delicious. Goes great with Carrot Ginger Crackers. I served this to a group of non-raw foodies and it was a hug hit! Comment below if you’ve made this! I’d love to hear.

Choco Peppermint Caramel Dreams

Ok, consider this a warning...these are a little messy to make....but a dream to savor.  Have the kids help. They’ll love licking excess off their fingers! Make extra and freeze so you have them on handl They won’t last long.  They really won’t last long! Lol.

BananaFanna Almond Fudge Bar

Ohhhh my! What could be better than banana, nut
butter, and chocolate, combined in a bar????

I love these, and my grandkids LOVE them too. It’s a great nutrient-dense treat to include in their packed lunches for school or daycare!!!

Use your creativity and swap out a few ingredients. Add a dash of cinnamon and pinch of cayenne for more depth of flavor. Increase melted cacao for a more fudgey version. It’s all good!

Comment below if you plan to try this, and let us know how it turns out!!!!

Wild Blueberry Coconut Pudding

Wild blueberries are significantly more nutrient dense than their cultivated cousins and unlike other fruits, maintain their magnificence even frozen.  This pudding took minutes to make and is one of my favorite dishes. This was breakfast today.

Add some bananas and dried coconut for a decadent, delicious, and nutritious treat. As each coconut varies in volume and ratio, meat:water, you’ll have to play it by ear with regard to chia, cashews and additional water, if needed.

Please comment if you made and enjoyed this recipe!

Waffle Cone Ice Cream Rolls

I’m super excited about this new treat!  This does require some preparation, but since they are frozen, you can make a large batch and have them on hand. Ok, I can’t promise they’ll stick around long...but they are worth the love put into preparing them. I served these at my chiropractors’ office and wish I had gotten video of the smiling faces as folks tasted these precious bite-sized delights!  Let’s get started!

Coconut Mango Pudding

Quick and easy, delightful summer treat. Blend, chill, and serve!!!

There are so many variations that are possible. Add wild blueberries, bananas, pineapple, etc. almost anything goes. Add water or almond milk, only as needed. Feel free to switch out maple syrup for a few dates.

I used fresh young Thai coconut meat, but you can use dried unsweetened coconut too. Soak for one hour to rehydrate, drain  and follow recipe. It may not be as creamy and I suggest using almond milk instead of water. I have a video on you tube demonstrating how to open these coconuts. It’s fun and pretty simple. These make great ice pops too!!!
