Cool Mint Oreo Cookies
Nothing says winter like peppermint, and nothing pairs better with mint than chocolate, so the cool mint oreo cookies were born. Originally I was going to make a raw-vegan minty hot cocoa, but raw and piping hot are kind of an oxymoron. In raw food prep it’s spice that gives heat and that just wasn’t going to cut it for hot chocolate. Being cookie season around here, I tried to think of how to combine the two flavors and still make it visually interesting. As you can see from the photo, the cookies look fantastic, but the taste…minty perfection! You’ll find this recipe relatively simple. My struggle doesn’t have to…
Chocolate-y Cherry Chip Cookies
Once upon a time there was a choke cherry tree right outside my door. It was so prolific that we were able to share cherries with all the critters, the neighbors and still have enough for jams and sauces. I wish that cherry tree was here now. It’s long gone, but it still inspires recipes till this day. The smell and taste of a plump and juicy cherry make this fruit one of my top 5 favorites. Often needing an intervention, I can polish off 2 lbs without batting an eye. And believe me, I have. This year the fresh cherries were very sweet and while they were in season,…
Chocolate Lemon Bark with Lavender and Goji
Chocolate makes the world go ‘round. I don’t know about you but for me, chocolate fixes everything. This whole recipe began as an experiment. Raw chocolate is known to have a relatively low melting point due to the high coconut oil content. So, this recipe was more of a search to find the key to a strong raw bark. I think I nailed it! If ever there was an antioxidant bank, this chocolate would be its currency! But antioxidants are not nearly all this tasty treat has to offer. In addition to cacao being a recognized aphrodisiac due to its ability to increase your body’s serotonin and dopamine production, cacao…
Orange Cheesecake In the Raw
I know that a raw vegan cheesecake sounds oxymoronic, The first question that people ask when I tell them about this dish is, “How is it cheesecake?” Well, strictly speaking, it’s not. However, in my humble opinion, it is far better! I originally was given a lemon version of this recipe when I was training as the raw food dessert chef at the cafe my mother used to own. I was about fourteen years old, and was psyched to be doing something other than spilling drinks and trying to unlock the secret of dairy free cappuccinos. It became an orange cheesecake, simply because we ran out of lemons one day.…
