Dark Chocolate Strawberry Truffles I’m not usually one to celebrate Valentine’s Day as I believe everyday is a day to appreciate a loved one, whether they be a partner, a family member or a friend. But, I do love to experiment with new dessert recipes as dinners are at least a once-a-week affair at our […]
FRESH BLACKBERRY TART + WALNUT CRUST I’ve been in California for a month and my time here has been epic up until now. The weather has been lovely, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my Watercolor and Herb Craft and Medicine Making Classes, and just got back from a Solo Creative Retreat in Sebastopol where I stayed […]
CHOCOLATE CHERRY OATMEAL COOKIES {V + RSF} How many times have I made oatmeal cookies in my lifetime? Many!

QUINOA CHOCOLATE BARK {V & GF} With Christmas around the corner, Quinoa Chocolate Bark is a deliciously simple recipe to make either as a dessert, or a gift for loved ones. Plus, it can be made both vegan and gluten-free. I love this recipe because it’s super easy to make and the quinoa acts as […]
ROSEMARY CHOCOLATE OLIVE OIL CAKE {V} Do you ever get a bee in your bonnet to make a certain recipe? Well for me, it was Rosemary Chocolate Olive Oil Cake. Last Sunday, I was at my local farmers market on rue d’Alibert in the 10eme and when I picked up the rosemary, the smell reminded […]
