dark chocolate bark//iphone.

beauties!

how beauteous is this?

and it's SOOOOOOO

good. 

bring in the kiddos

bring in the love fest

this is a fun family activity

in the kitchen!

this is super good for you

in terms of candy makin'

(vegan//paleo//superfood!)

dark chocolate bark

(inspired by it's all good)

*gather*

14 oz. of good quality dark chocolate

(i love green & blacks 70% dark bars)

i used 4 bars for a small baking sheet

roughly chopped//sliced almonds

coconut flakes//goji berries

pistachios//maldon sea salt

as for measurement i just put how

much i wanted on each pan

*rock it*

line baking sheet with parchment paper

i place a bit of oil on baking pan

spread it around & then place paper on it

so that the paper will stick nicely down into pan

(no fighting with the paper and the melted chocolate!)

bring a pot of water to a boil 

place chocolate into a glass bowl

& set it over the pot

i like to stir the chocolate

with a wooden spatula/spoon

while its melting

it can be very grounding

stir until it's completely melted

pour into your baking pan

then go at it with your toppings

sprinkle them any which way you like

put the pan in the freezer for about 15 - 30 minutes

so it has time to set and you can break it apart

to eat immediately or put it in fridge in an air tight container!

this is such a great gift or a sweet to have at the ready

super doable & fun for everyone

i hope you will try this and tell me what you think

click into the blog & let me know in the comment section

what do you think about the iphone experiment? 

will you tell me in the comments too? this is the first time i have 

used my iphone for a full post! i would love to know your thoughts!

summer in a ball jar//white peach & ginger.

beauties!

the old me: who has time to

make a summer drink?

you (& the old me): not me

the new me: we have time now!

this is so delicious!

it's summer in a ball jar!

you: wow, ok, love it.

(or maybe that's you and me)

AGUA FRESCA

white peach& ginger

(inspired by it's all good)

*gather*

3 cups water

1/2 cup raw honey

(i think this was buckwheat or avocado)

2 1/2 pounds white peaches*

(about 8/no pits/chopped)

2" knob of fresh ginger

*fire away*

put everything in a medium sized pot

on high heat//bring to a boil//

turn off & cover pot

let it cool to room temp

puree in blender

here is where it gets tricky

the recipe calls for straining

which is not an RM//julesy thing to do

(who has the freakin' time!!!!)

i just want to make something

fancy//good//delicious//amazing

in the two precious minutes i have

sound familiar? 

so i did try to sieve this beyatchie

but it was taking FOREVAH

so i drank it as is

which was so so so good

a little thicker than intended

(and frothy) but the taste was delightful

it's gotta be over ICE!

it really did feel like the summer

vibration hit me in a whole new way

i want to know your special summer drinks

& if you make this recipe will you share it with us?

beauty cubes.

"the experience of beauty can be immediate and overwhelming:

like love at first site" piero ferrucci

this is what happened to me in creating this piece

i couldn't stop

803 photos later.......

i mean they are just ice cubes right? 

no.

they are not

just ice cubes.

they are pure essence of beauty

they are the earth

they are life

they are vulnerability

they are intimacy

they are fancy pants

they are everything

all in one moment

all in one moment of 

just making ice cubes

do you (& me) a favor

pick up some edible flowers

these are lavender, cornflower & violas

(from silverlake farms at the hollywood market)

you can pick them up at whole foods or a neighbors garden

super fun for the kids to get involved too

the only thing you will need is a strainer

to pour the water into glasses from the carafe 

unless you don't mind a cornflower lub ;)

you can also do this with basil and lemon

or any herb/citrus combo you want to try

it's worth the fun

trust me

beauty is the only way

miracle july 26)

zucchini linguine//macadamia nut pesto.

*beauties*

this one is pretty much everything you see

(beauty incarnate)

3 minute steamed zucchini ribbons

3 minute cuisine art pesto love fest

so many ideas you can add if you desire

fits in the summer wardrobe perfectly 

AND... 

it's totally plant based

so you can hear your cells singing

hallelujah!

zucchini fettuccine//macadamia nut pesto//paleo pasta*

*gather*

4 yellow/green zucchini

pesto gathering: 

1/2 cup macadamia nuts

1 bunch cilantro or parsley or both

1 clove garlic

some squeezes of meyer lemon

1/2 cup olive oil

sea salt

*rock it*

PESTO

(look at pic)

put everything in the cuisinart

pulse it to taste

you may need to add lemon or salt

it's also good sitting with all the ingredients 

for a bit too.. it gets better as it sits.

ZUCCHINI

create ribbons with a basic peeler

steam the ribbons for 3 minutes

they tend to collect moisture 

so i like to place them in a colander

with a plate/towel underneath the colander

to drain the liquid a bit

but it's not necessary!

then....

mix all together in a big bowl

and serve while warm or

you can wait if you need to

*ideas*

amazing as a full meal

or as a side with 

shrimp or wild salmon

this is also a great dish

to bring to a potluck

break it down

i LOVE hearing from you

*inspired by practical paleo//diane sanfilippo*

sweet potato & zucchini quichkes (paleo pancakes).

*BEAUTIES*

so this one is not the blend it all together & make a meal

as it does take a little more time shredding with the cuisinart

or by hand, mixing everything together & then flipping them

on the fire...it was SO worth it because my kids devoured them!!

this recipe is inspired by the book practical paleo

these were used as a hamburger buns but it also

brought me back to making latkes where you can add 

all the veggies you want! it's slightly more eggy 

which makes it almost like a quichke cake ;)

sweet potato zucchini quichkes

*gather*

3 eggs

2 tsp coconut flour

(i used more here)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp salt

2 cups shredded

sweet potato & zucchini*

coconut oil for frying

*work it*

shred veggies (keep peels on)

grab a big mixing bowl

beat eggs and add all spices and flours in 

then add your shredded veggies

mix everything together

(i was not extreme with the measurements!)

just added things as with my fingers

easy to mix this with a fork or your hand

*fire it up*

grab a iron clad or good thick pan

put it on medium high

get a plate with napkins on it

or a paper bag to put on side

for when the quichkes are ready

add some coconut oil 

grab a small handful of batter

place on the hot pan

flatten with spatula and wait till 

the bottom is browning then flip 

over and do the same on that side

you will find your way in this pancake

process & then place them on the plate

*you can also use regular potatoes & 

other seasonal veggies for this recipe!

you can also use any kind of flour you have on hand*

i hope you love these

I WANT TO KNOW!
