Cozy and Quick Mint Cocoa

Marly's cup of cozy mint chocolate soy milk cocoa makes a nice holiday drink.

Hectic schedules required a little chocolate indulgence. And we discovered that mint chocolate soy milk warmed in a mug with a dollop of soy whipped topping made for a wonderful cozy comforting. Because sometimes being vegan just needs to be easy...

Bananarama Recipe Round-up

Namely Marly's Bananarama Recipe Round-up includes some of her favorite banana recipes like Tropical Muffins and Banana Ice-Cream

Round 'em up! I decided it was time for a recipe round-up or two. That's a thought made easier by the fact that I have so many recipes that fit a particular theme. Chickpeas. Chocolate. Bananas. There's more, I promise. That's just some highlights. Today's Recipe Round-up features some of my favorite banana recipes and a few from favorite sites across the web. It's true...we've gone bananas. Come join the fun!

You can eat several of these tasty morsels and not feel so stuffed yourself. I like that in a recipe.

Do you have a handle on the clutter in your life? Me neither. That's why I was intrigued by the Chinese Proverb that encourages us to move 27 things each day as a way to change our lives. It makes a molehill out of a mountain. That's something even I could do. At least I think I can...
