If you like chocolate mint, try a spoonful of pudding with a leaf mixed in. Yum! Hey, if the pudding is super creamy, do you mind that little crunch of the chia seeds? I’ve made it both ways, purely creamy vs creamy with the added crunch and I have to say … for some reason …

Welp, momma is up to her old tricks again, makin’ stuff up for me to try. I got these freeze dried cherries but didn’t know quite what to do with ’em. They were more tart than I expected, which is actually really nice with this salad, for a little pop. The dressing is rich and …

Momma made this for me tonight. If I like it I sometimes will ask her to write out the recipe for me and I’ve got a big stack of index cards to show for it. Well tonight momma was so confident she didn’t even wait for the taste test, coming in with the plate *and* …

Miso (yahoo!) has health benefits without the drawbacks found in its controversial cousin, tofu. Made of fermented soy, miso is a complete protein, containing all of the essential amino acids (super cool, especially for non-meat-eaters who will need a nice well rounded protein source) and vitamin B (especially B12), it stimulates the secretion of digestive fluids in …

Ok so if you feed these to anyone, do not, I repeat do not, tell ’em what they are made of! They’re so chewy and brownie-like, I’ll bet they’ll never even guess. (Really, it’s true! Ask my friend Holly!) Fun with food! 😀 Special thanks to my friend Carrie for informing me that you can make …
