Instead of making the usual savory kale chips, I got the idea of using my Persimmon Ginger Dressing to sweeten things up. Not only was this experiment was a success, but it was also god sent, seriously. I am completely hooked on these chips, and they only lasted a day in my home!
During the holidays, I absolutely love making treats for my family and friends. When going vegan, my treat ideas transformed! At first I was convinced that I had to stop this small tradition all together since I assumed that vegan sweets were, well, wack, but once I lived the lifestyle a bit longer and was exposed to the endless possibilities of both delicious AND healthy treats, a new vegan holiday tradition emerged.
This is a simple and easy treat for those of you that may not find time in the midst of the busy holiday season to bake cookies and more complicated treats. With this Easy Vegan Holiday Chocolate Bark, feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking or that of the person you are gifting it to, and have fun!
Healthy, Chocolate, Hummus?! What?! YES.
Well, I call this hummus because it has beans in it, but it could also be considered a pudding or simply a dip for the matter. Whatever it is to you, just make it, please. You will thank me later.

If you live in Los Angeles, and you're vegan, I am quite certain you have heard of Organix. If not, what the heck is wrong with you!? Haha, kidding...kind of.
Well, if for some odd reason you don't know what Organix is, let me fill you in. Organix is a unique market here in Eagle Rock that offers wholesome and nutritious foods that are mostly Organic, and they also specialize in gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan & vegetarian, non-GMO, and soy-free products. AND, most importantly, they have a Vegan Delicatessen. That's right, a freaking vegan deli. WHAT?!
YES, this happened.
The thought of chocolate being paired with kale kind of blew my mind. Initially, I just said why? But the pairing sparked my curiosity...I had to have it. If it involves kale, I'M IN!
If you aren't fond of kale, or if your kiddies who refuse to eat their greens, these are a great way to eat your kale! Sweet, crunchy, and rich deep dark chocolate flavor.
