My name feels just right to me. But I came close to being called something entirely different. My parents met in The Haight Ashbury in 1968. My dad was a music producer and club owner. My mom was a flower child. Five years later, when they were choosing names, one of their top choices was willow summer Marie. To know me is to know that I am not a Willow Summer Marie. I'm so grateful my grandmother had a good, strong hand in changing their minds.
I am Sabrina.

It's time to dip my toe back into the sugar pond and the best place to start is with this Dreamy Almond Chocolate Pie. Sweet, but not overly so, and with the added value (and flavor) of a simple (and gluten-free) Chocolate Almond Crust, this pie has become one of our family favorites.

Today it's time to take a little sidestep from all this overly healthy eating and enjoy some Double Decker Brownies. It's part of a new series I'm calling Free For All Fridays! Here's my theory, all work and no play can be kind of boring. Hmm, come to think of it, I don't think that's my saying. Oh well, let's go with it!

These Chocolate Orange Coconut Balls are not your mother's sugar-free cookies. Yes, they're free of white refined sugar, but they're not free of taste. And now that I think of it, why is it always bad to be something of your mom's? Poor moms.
