Lulu's Chocolate: Initial thoughts: Sexy packaging. So far I've eaten all except for the Raw Love and the Maca Green bars. I tried the Aztec Crunch bar first because crunch bars are one of my favorite candy bars, and I enjoy cacao nibs. I have to say I didn't care for it.

In every sense of the word, Thanksgiving means family, football and food...specficially turkey. Personally, I don't have any problem with eating meat/dairy/whatever every once in a while, especially when it's difficult to accommodate a special diet, but my problem is that I don't like turkey (or chicken or pork). Since I've moved to PA two years ago, … Continue reading A Very Vegetarian Thanksgiving
I had written a post a while ago about making raw chocolates and I inadvertently deleted it (and didn't have a backup).

Last time I bought a chocolate making kit that came with … Continue reading Raw Chocolates Round Two

If I … Continue reading Juice Fasting
