Prune, Mushroom, Leek & Buckwheat Risotto

Let’s be honest; Napa Valley has always been on my bucket list of top travel destinations.

REAL Hot Chocolate

Picture warm and frothy hot chocolate made without any preservatives, corn syrup, white sugar or processed cocoa. Instead of regular milk; this recipe calls for oat milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. In lieu of white sugar, this recipe calls for pure maple or 1-2 soaked medjool dates, pitted. You blend it all up, then you warm it all up. C’est tout! And if you use pure maple syrup- you don’t need to blend anything. Just warm up over the stove using a whisker to mix well.

There’s so many ways to eat them, dress them, and enhance this unassuming vegetable that has endured such a bad rep for so long. They’re kind of like that…… Continue reading Brussels Sprouts with homemade Lemony Tahini
