No-bake Sweet Potato Brownies
These no-bake sweet potato brownies have been my best sweet potato discovery since around Thanksgiving 2004… when I discovered (a bit too late for that meal!) that there actually are really great taters here in Philippines! We had lived here for less than 6 months, and I was newly pregnant with Sara, when we thought it would …
Vegan Pecan Pie
I find it a bit ironic, don’t you, that I’m sharing this rich, decadent pecan pie with you immediately after announcing that I’m training for a bikini competition. I also find it ironic… or maybe masochistic is a better word… that I began this program immediately prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I didn’t really think about the timing …
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl
Hello friends, it’s pumpkin season! (At least it is in North America!) And actually, in Philippines, it’s pumpkin season all year long… Philippines has beautiful local pumpkins called kalabasa that are a bit softer and milder than “jack-o-lantern” pumpkins. I do everything with them, from roasting slices with cinnamon & curry powder, to cubing them …
Chocolate Chia Freezer Fudge
Some things are annoying, and beyond our control.

Yes, #3 happened to me, and is still happening!! My recipe thingamajig just …
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
I must confess that Valentine’s Day has never made a whole lot of sense to me. I mean, if you have a “true love,” then why set aside only one day to celebrate… CELEBRATE EVERY DAY, PEOPLE!! And if you don’t, then it seems like a sort of “in-your-face” holiday at best. I’ve long harbored …
Chocolate-dipped Cranberry Pecan Kisses
You know you’ve hit on something good when you have to make two batches of it in order to have enough for a complete photo shoot! And I still had to be careful of camera angles… This recipe originated in my Ma’s kitchen, probably about 20 years ago. I told you she was “eating clean” …
5-Ingredient Vegan Fudge Sauce
Hey friends, I haven’t meant to neglect you in the dessert department, but I see that it’s been a savoury 3 months since I’ve given you anything sweet. Perhaps I felt guilty for posting 2 desserts in a row that time in September? Nahhh!!! Those of you who know me, know that I love dessert. I eat …

Everybody hold onto your hats… I’M GIVING YOU TWO DESSERTS IN A ROW!!! What is this world coming to??? If you take a look at my Recipe Index, you can clearly see that I’m due to give you either a salad or a soup next. Those poor slots have only one lonely post each… oh, …
