Raw Vegan BLACK ENCHANTRESS Nice Cream + Crushed Raw Pumpkin Seed and Blackberries
We all have cravings.....callings....something that soothes and comforts....lures us in and we fall under it;s spell. Sometimes, the simplest things can be the greatest amount of pleasure: music, art, whatever your heart feels at that moment. For me, it can be turning on Type O Negative or Joy Divsion or Bauhaus or The Cure or Depeche Mode or NIN or Combichrist or 80's goth music , writing poetry or new music, a kiss or hug ot snuggle with my baby boys, being held in the arms

Raw Vegan GHOST Chocolate Cups with Blueberry Cardamom Filling
I do have a confession. I am an addict. I am addicted to sweets....and cardamom....and sweets. However, I get bored with the standard peanut butter cups. One must dare to be adventurous. As a person who has fallen victim to a sweet tooth, I craved something that is sweet yet complex. Something that creates a depth and leave a mark like in your head like a hole (NIN reference). So when night falls and others slumber, I create. With my little ones fast asleep and the late David

"Raw Vegan & Vegan....Pffft...Affordable? Doubt It." But Alas....It Is.
"It's so harrrrrrrrrrd!", "It's too expensive!", "I'm not gonna bother to try. Too much money to spend on some damn fruits and vegetables." Because the fast food death that you just paid 10 bux for that you are going to devour in less that 10 minutes and shit out in a couple of hours is so much better, correct? Whine, whine, whine.......excuses, excuses, excuses. I am sorry to be so heated but this is something that gets my blood heated....and not in a good way. We are what

Vanilla Bean, Blackberry and Lavender Swirl Nice Cream + Raw Pomegranate Chocolate Brains
It has been awhile since I made a nice cream. Like anything that I do, I have the habit of being a perfectionist or rather waiting for the perfect moment. In this case, I just missed nice cream. I needed it. THE CRAVING WAS STRONG AND THE NEED TO FEED WAS A MUST!! Plus, it's fucking amazing. Usually, I go for rich and luscious or simple yet complex. Today, I went with simple and complex. Behold, my Vanilla Bean, Blackberry and Lavender Swirl Nice Cream topped with a few of m

Black Mission Fig and Pistachio Nut Bars with Cardamon and Cinnamon
I adore figs. I could not see how one could not love these glorious sweet gems. As much as I love Turkish Figs, I am a devoutee of Black Mission Figs. Look...anything that begins with my favorite color is a given to become my favorite. The deep, purple hue of the the figs in constrast with the pistachios is a sight that is breathtaking....and the taste is even better. Raw, vegan, sticky, sweet, fragant and pleasing. My little ones could not resist just one piece....and as a
