July 14, 2012 by 232 Comments
[Yes, these Raw Caramel Cupcakes with Banana-Cacao Frosting are bursting with superfoods ingredients!] As many of you know, I spend some quite a bit a crazy amount of time every day on twitter. I love that I’ve been able to strike up acquaintances with other bloggers, writers, nutritionists and companies that way. Well, several months […]
Six Degrees of Cara’s Cravings (and Blueberry Ice Cream)
June 15, 2012 by 58 Comments
[Who made this ice cream? Read on to find out!!] If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you probably have a good idea of the kinds of foods I eat or don’t eat, and my diet profile in general. While I consume a vegan diet, I don’t generally talk about it too much with […]

Black-Bottomed Almond Mousse Pie with Chocolate Ganache Drizzle
December 15, 2011 by 40 Comments
I actually first made this pie quite a while ago (some of you may remember that I posted about it on Facebook), but I’ve been holding on to the recipe, clinging to it like Scrooge gripping his last penny so that I could save it for this very post. Seriously, this is one is a show-stopper, a […]

Homemade Edible Gifts
November 17, 2011 by 13 Comments
I thought this would be a perfect week to share some of my favorite recipes on the blog that would also make fantastic homemade–and edible–gifts. In my younger years, I made almost all of my gifts myself (edible or otherwise). Of course, the fact that I was a student living in penury (I won’t say I […]
