Cacao
As promised I’m back with dessert. I haven’t only been eating chocolate desserts but I thought I’d share these first. I’m a huge fan of dark dark chocolate and make it raw and it’s even better.
I’ve enjoyed all of these raw chocolate delights recently and urge you to give them a try too. Click the pics for links to the recipes.

Hope you’re...

Super article. So called “humane” alternatives to factory farms just perpetuate the belief that it is ok to eat animals…and in fact romanticize eating them! The rise of the excuse-itarian….

What a beautiful article. Self-hate is so destructive and so pointless! It’s so easy to forget that WE have the power to control our thoughts and feelings.
LOVE YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU!
Fear is usually a compass pointing you in the direction that you should go.
– Lovely quote to kick of November with. Use that fear to move you forwards. NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME.

Lemon, Rosemary, Olive Oil Cake
Highly recommend this recipe. Sounds odd but the rosemary is subtle and adds a lovely fragrance . The cake itself is super soft and perfectly sweet, not forgetting vegan of course!

Quote of the moment...
“I can’t control my destiny, I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There’s only now, there’s only here. Give in to love or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today.”
(Jonathan Larson)
Neglected tumblr..
My poor little tumblr has been neglected for a long time now. I miss it. Thought I’d show whoever’s out there what I’ve been up to! For a bit of down time at uni I’ve been indulging in some knitting.
Made that cute teddy bear for my baby nephew and have almost finished another in reverse colours :)
