It’s no secret. I love peanut butter. I always have and always will. My tastes have changed over the years. I’m a tried-and-true crunchy gal, but once upon a time I had an affinity for creamy.

Despite the rather ‘blah’ looking bowl, the flavors were beyond dynamic.1/3 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup water, pinch of kosher salt, way too much cinnamon (aka why it [...]
Saturday at last . I couldn’t wait for my raspberry-coconut lemon bars to completely finish cooling last night. I had one while it was semi-warm and melty so the true texture didn’t shine through. The verdict is still out. I can tell you, however; it was super sweet and excellent with vanilla ice cream.I proceeded [...]
