I think Patty Griffin said it best in the lines of this song, "You could cry or die. Or just make pies all day. I'm making pies."
One of the staples of our holiday dessert table is this recipe for our favorite Dark Chocolate Pie. You could call it a pie. Or even simply a Chocolate Pie. But the best and richest description I could think of includes all three words: Dark Chocolate Pie. Join me (and Patty) in making pies.

Bill Watterson once said, "If you can't control your peanut butter, you can't expect to control your life." I never thought peanut butter could be so zen.

Vegan baking can oftentimes be a little tricky, but I think I've discovered a combination of ingredients that falls right on the mark. Give the recipe a try and practice kindness by sharing it with others. Together, we'll save the world...one slice of cake at a time!

I'm sure you've heard the buzz by now that the entire Oprah show staff took the One Week Vegan Challenge. That's right, nearly 400 people went vegan for a week. How incredible is that! The show about Oprah's Vegan Staff week aired yesterday and featured the lovely Kathy Freston, author of several books, one of my …
