When Friends Gather

Having just finished a week-long vacation with my family, of course I wanted to come home and immediately duplicate some of the yummy things that I tasted there. Over the next several posts, I'm going to share some recipes that I felt deserved special recognition.

It's the little things...

OK, so I was so excited that I had to post this...!

Tonight, I just finished putting together this chocolate "pudding" from Sugar Free Mom. It's mystery ingredient? Avocados.

"Might I have a bit of earth?"

"Might I," quavered Mary, "might I have a bit of earth?"
..."Earth!" he repeated. "What do you mean?"
"To plant seeds in--to make things grow--to see them come alive," Mary faltered...Mr. Craven got up and began to walk slowly across the room.

Strawberry "Cheesecake"

It's time for another raw dessert recipe! This one is adapted from the tropical cheesecake recipe in this post. This dessert is probably not necessarily "healthy," and definitely not low-cal...But if you're not worrying about that this January, or you want a healthier version of strawberry cheesecake, then this is for you!

"Ice Cream" in Winter

OK, so I'm on a dessert kick...but this is one dessert (of many) that you can feel good about eating.
Because it's not really ice cream.

Experimenting Adventures :)

So, I can't deny it:
I have a sweet tooth.

However, since I have begun eating differently, I've figured out that my body can tolerate much less sugar than it used to. Even bittersweet chocolate (since it has a little bit of refined sugar added) doesn't sit very well with me. But that has not kept me from experimenting! In this process I have discovered something new: raw recipes.
