Food(less) Journey

Okay so Im not really that greedy, but sometimes I would like a cupcake or muffin and don't feel like going through the process of making a full pan. Solution? Just make one. This recipe has been seen in various places under various names, but here is my own variation. And I know what question is burning in your mind : What's the dif between a cupcake and muffin? Sugar! As in the batter of a cupcake has more sugar and it's often topped with a sugar-based icing. Im apparently more of a muffin girl since I hardly add an sugar (if any). I prefer the honey or agave drizzled on top. Also: - coconut oil - peanut butter with pomegranate cherry preserves - throw in some fruit before "baking" and drizzle with honey Im thinking this would be great in a savory version (maybe with zuchini or squash , spinach and tomatoes) but I have yet to try that out. I'll let you know when I do. :-) Lazy Tea Cup Apple Muffin Ingredients : 3 T spelt flour 1 ...

this pie is not Vegan and neither am i Short answer: I do not eat meat or dairy, but No I am not a vegan.. Long Answer: I am a human. I am a Christian. But I do not define myself, by what I eat. Therefore I am not "a vegan" nor "a vegetarian" Im just the average human who has decided not to eat meat. Do you get that question a lot? Does it annoy you too? Do you live in the United States? When I was in Italy in September and I would say "Oh i dont eat meat" No one would bat a lash. They would say "okay. try this instead." But they are masters in the art of cooking. Not that America doesn't have its share of great chefs and culinary achievements. But the average American seems to have no culinary imagination. Or maybe they are stuck on tradition. Bread and butter? No thanks I'll dip my bread in olive oil and balsamic vinegar thank you very much. Peanut Butter and Jelly? If I must, but why not try almond butter and preserves...

My second and sadly last Blissmobox came yesterday. I was so excited I hopped right into. These are the things I haven't eaten yet. They are all new to my palate except for the Flamous Falafel Chips. I purchased a bag of those on my last trip to Naturally Soergel's. untouched goodies..not for long  The theme was Vegan Snacks and it seems vegans must adore chocolate because most of the snacks are chocolate based or have chocolate in them. things ive tried so far This morning I had the chocolate Bobo Bar for breakfast. Awfully delicious! It had the flavor notes and scent of a brownie, but its made up of completely friendly co-workes and gluten-less to boot. I have been a long time fan of Bobo's Bars, but I usually get the original flavor. Yesterday, I had the  ProBar Halo in S'mores flavor. Delicious! The Eli's Earth Bar was out of this world. It was in the "celebrate bar" flavor. The outside of the package said this flavor was 'almond car...

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m...

  Eco Emi October Box  Eco Emi had an overstock of their October boxes for sale and being that I am addicted to getting things in the mail I went ahead and purchased one. In hindsight I wouldnt have purchased this particular month, but that really didnt change my excitement in getting it in the mail. How's that for a nice little contradiction? Nothing personal I just am not a fan of trying new hair products and my last two mail boxes had hair stuff. More to share with my underserving friends I guess. I was so excited to snap a picture I didnt even unwrap all my goodies yet, but here it is in all its glory. On the left side of the pic you can see a little tin that is actually a candle. Here's the Full List: ~ Big Dipper Wax Works Travel Candle in Rejuvination ~ Crazy Rumours Lip Balm in Orange Bergamot ~ Mulling Spice by Simply ORganic ~ Gin Gin's Boost Ginger Candy (so tasty and great for winter. it warms you from the inside. also great after a pungeant ...

Does anyone else love the mysterious look of a foggy, frosty morning? The way everything sparkles and shimmers in the hazy sunlight  How things slowly take on their natural color as it sheds its wintery coat...  Like a tiny glimpse of spring...  The way everything takes on a whole new look... And how it's as if everything slowly comes into focus as the sun melts away the ice and haze....
