Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I have made this five or six times now and it never disappoints, even if I do. One time I forgot the coconut milk, another I left off the tofu.

I have used Hershey's cocoa and Special Dark, and prefer the dark chocolate version, but that wasn't surprising to me. If you... Continue Reading →
Late last summer I grilled several dozen ears of corn, let them cool and scraped all that goodness off. I froze bags and bags of the stuff so we could have this salsa anytime of the year. I'm pretty sure it's what got my college freshman through her first semester. To make it vegan friendly,... Continue Reading →
