Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I find it SO hard to exercise any level of self-restraint when faced with a freshly-baked batch of cookies. The luring aroma, the melted chocolate chunks, the appeal of biting into a warm cookie paired with a cold glass of almond milk or a warm, foamy latte is to me, one of the greatest simple pleasures in this life. These cookies offer a healthier spin on the classic chocolate chip variety; made with naturally-gluten free buckwheat flour and sweetened with coconut sugar- you will love the taste and texture!

It’s questions like those that make you step back and try to fill in the gaps with inside knowledge but outside perspective. I concluded that it’s the story of a life, told through food. I share recipes and…… Continue reading Buckwheat Tabbouleh

Fudgy Buckwheat Brownies

My relationship with chocolate has been one of the most significant liaisons in my life. And I am not even kidding! Chocolate was uplifting, comforting, familiar and always there for me.
