Sea Salt & Olive Oil Dark Chocolate Brownies (Vegan+GF)
Yeah…….okay I did put olive oil in your brownies. Can we still be friends? And wait just a second before you completely write me off as insane please, they’re actually really good! Seriously, no one could ever tell there is olive oil in them if you don’t tell. They’ve got it all; that rich fudgy texture, a perfect amount of sweetness, and that bittersweet balance with them being extra dark. Oh, and don’t let me forget the sea salt on top, that’s the magic touch that takes them to a whole other level of delish! However if salty/sweet isn’t really your thing then feel free to cut back or even skip it if…

Chunky Dark Chocolate Coconut & Pistachio Brownies (Vegan+GF)
The pistachios are back! I feel like I’ve been repeating star ingredients a lot lately but pistachios are kind of new for me since we only recently found where we can buy them. Of course, they’re raw in shells so you have to crack them, and after going through the effort of shelling a bunch you feel like you should get the most out of your labor of love, you know what I mean? By the way, happy (almost) March you guys! Wow, is the year breezing by or what? I can’t believe it’s already almost time for the seasons to start changing again. Actually, our constant chilly rain the last few days is making me…

“Nutella” Cheesecake Dark Chocolate Overload Cake (Vegan)
There is an outrageous amount of chocolate going on today! How do you feel about that? (Feel free to insert your positive exclamations here ->_____! i.e. Heck YES!) Said chocolate also comes with an outrageous amount of pictures. I promised myself I was going to get better about that but I think I may actually be getting worse. It’s just so hard to stop snapping pictures when there is this much chocolate beauty to be captured, you know? So I made this for Jenya’s 19th birthday and, I could be wrong, but I think it says a lot about how much I love her. I’ve actually been waiting all week to share this because…

Dark Chocolate Mocha (Full) Moon Pies! (Vegan)
Are you ready for the fun and spooky stuff of late October? Speaking of things that are scary, you all know it’s spring down here and that means that the bugs are coming alive, major eeek! Have I ever mentioned that the birds bumblebees here are rather large? Well, they are. They’re so big actually, that they are more like small animals than insects and they’re so fuzzy they could almost be cute……except for when they’re trying to eat you!! Luckily they are usually pretty nice as far as bugs go and won’t bother you unless provoked, so they’re the least of my concerns when it comes to insects. You see, very few houses…

Pomegranate Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
You’d think I’d be over the season difference after living in the Southern Hemisphere for almost two years but….I’m not. It still really bugs me that I can’t have my cake and eat it too. What I mean is that the weather changing is making me want to get ready for the holiday season which, I still can’t seem to make my little North Hem head grasp, is not until summer here. It’s really annoying but I think you’re all probably sick of hearing this rant over and over so I’ll stop. Just know that if you’re up north thinking it’s weird to be posting pomegranates in April, it’s much weirder for me…
