The weather is dreary, wet, windy and cold. Winter is definitely here. Despite that, the kale in our garden is flourishing with new leaves that I don’t want to lose to Jack Frost, so I have been harvesting frequently. Kale is a regular in my smoothies, so I tried freezing the leaves to have a […]
Chocolate Peppermint Hemp Milk
TGIF! Back in my non-vegan days, I used to look forward decadent coffee creamers over the holidays like Coffee-Mate’s Peppermint Mocha to turn my morning coffee into a seasonal dessert.

Eating out is often villain-ized among the healthy-eating crowd, myself included, for offering excessively large, unhealthy portions, lower quality ingredients and generic tasting entrees targeted to the masses.
