I know I said no desserts for this little while but I do let myself have a sweet snack in the afternoon before a work out. I still think eating before bed is a major factor in my weight struggles so I decided that I would have treats in the daytime rather than at night. [...]
Once in a while, I spoil myself with a dessert for breakfast on the weekend and today was one of those days. I would also call this raw banana split a “hormone-balancer” dessert…okay I am kidding, I just added maca powder to the mix and maca is known for helping your hormones to balance but [...]
I spoke too soon when I said I wasn’t interested in blogging about food. I’ve had a very strange few weeks and I still haven’t figured out what is really going on in my head and my heart. There is work to do but everything seems to take longer somehow and no doubt I’m still [...]
I think I’ve mentioned that the non-raw fiance travels a lot for work, so when he comes home, I try to make something special for him. He was struck down by flu but the chocolate fiend in him couldn’t resist raw chocolate ice-cream (recipe here) topped with chopped banana and chocolate sauce (cocoa powder + [...]
The kawaii (cute) bug has bitten me bad since I moved to Japan — I swear it’s so infectious! The non-raw fiance has just arrived in town back from a business trip in NYC just in time for Valentine’s Day — it would be our first together in one place for several years. But he’s [...]
We are at the end of Vegan Mofo and I thought I would exit this month-long celebration of vegan food with raw ice-cream. I was hoping to do a bento post but I think the next raw bento I’ll be making will actually be this Sunday when I take my Japanese exam. This pistachio ice-cream [...]
This raw coconut-frosted brownie is so decadent and I’ve had this one on my mind for a while. I tend to only make more complicated desserts when the non-raw fiance is around, but I thought, “You should be nice to yourself especially when you are alone!” He goes off on very long business trips, often [...]
Last Saturday, it was rainy outside and Sex & The City 2 movie was just released on iTunes so I wanted to whip up something fancy for a raw breakfast in bed… Looks like bubblegum pink….Such a pretty shade… I adore my ice-cream machine. It doesn’t do big batches of ice-cream that well but for [...]
I made these chocolate cherry cookies with pumpkin seed milk pulp and walnuts. My recipe follows this one here but without the sunflower seeds. Though these cookies were generally yummy, they could’ve been more moist but the pulp made it a little dry and powdery in texture. While saving seed/nut milk pulp makes sense, somehow [...]
I wanted some chocolate ice-cream the other night so I soaked cashews and dates for a small bowl of yum. I try to take maca daily but sometimes I get sick of the taste. I’m trying to balance my hormones hence the desire to consume maca regularly so I try to take it in different [...]
