Decadent Vegan Hot Chocolate
I had a friend visit recently. Normally people bring food TO a new mama, but she recently had a baby herself so ... same boat! She's a dear good friend who I've known for years. She used to be my neighbor when we were both married to our first husbands! Now, we are both re-married and have 2 children each and live close to each other again over a decade later! It was actually a cool and rainy … [Read more...]

Editors note: I like Prosecco or less 'brut' bubbly better!) :) I'm also a super busy mompreneur, prepping for a call tomorrow so I really … [Read more...]

This smoothie is high in fiber, low in fat and only sweetened with natural sugars! I do usually add nuts (like cashews) or vegan vanilla protein powder plus some sort of green (fresh … [Read more...]
