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.

There's nothing like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a cold December day in front of the Christmas Tree :) Growing up, my family often gathered around the tree at night and my mom would make us a big pot of hot cocoa to share, so it is definitely a must have tradition for us every year.
This year I thought it would be fun to make a homemade mix to gift to my family + you all as well. Instead of bringing you an average vegan hot cocoa mix, I'm going to share with you a chai spiced one!

A guilt-free way for you to enjoy a classic childhood favorite.
I encourage you to serve this with anything you would an average granola <3 My favorites are on my 
Ahhh, fall is finally here, and you know what that means...pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING.
It was inevitable that I share a recipe here, but I promise you this is a winner -- and of course sweet, simple and vegan ;) I decided I would play around with my 
Cupcakes + cats? Count me in.
I grew up with oreo cupcake cats every halloween, it was our Briones family holiday tradition. So much so that everyone at school would expect it at our yearly celebrations, and boy did we make sure to always deliver ;)
The source of this recipe? A good old Nabisco Oreo Box from when I was about 2 years old. Really, this started about 20 years ago, it's really hard to believe.

The original recipe used a prepackaged frosting and cupcake mix, artificial orange stuffed oreos, candy corn, licorice, jelly beans and, well, very unhealthy ingredients. But you guys know me, I had to healthy this up before sharing. Using my homemade healthy oreos, vegan chocolate cupcake + chocolate avocado frosting recipes, homemade candy corn and dried fruit, I successfully made it happen.
