2015 Year End Update – KitchenAid Joy & A Fond Farewell
Greetings, dear ones. I humbly ask forviveness after oodles of über inactivity & virtual quietude having spanned a course of many moons. Once again, our old friend Impermanence has profoundly affected each and every aspect of my life in a relatively Earth shattering fashion. The seemingly sudden illness and subsequent loss of a parent (then handling nearly all aspects of the aftermath almost entirely on my own) has rather taken its toll on my heart and subsequent creativity/inclination to share outwardly....
Read MoreFor Love of Lemons (& Limes)
With my Glass Dharma drinking straw giveaway nearly at its end and Summer Solstice a mere six days away, this last week of Spring seems like an appropriate time for me to exalt citrus.

Read MoreSpiced Orange Cacao Sesame Orbs
Although I rarely seem to experience cravings for non-fruit sweets, for some reason I recently felt like making/eating something with a confectionery, bread/donut-esque consistency… Upon wandering into the kitchen & perusing my culinary arsenal, I discovered a huge mass of sesame seeds, along with a fair amount of coconut butter, cinnamon, and some other key elements. After a few moments of mad kitchen science and food processor play… Spiced orange cacao & sesame orbs were born! Ingredients 1 Tbsp...
