We recently made a trip to Edinburgh and were fortunate enough to have the chance to meet up with Kevin’s cousin Melanie, who we were seeing in-person for the very first time! We stopped by the charming cafe, Hata, for a hot drink, and I fell in love with their hot chocolate with mint and

Food Foraging: Pickled Capers
Just when it feels that the summer heat has positively scorched all living things in Cyprus, a leggy weed of a bush can be seen popping up all over the island. You might spot it in the medians of busy roads or even in parking lots, and it covers pretty much all areas of Cyprus,
Raw Vegan Rose Latte
If you are looking for a caffeine-free, unique and special treat while the weather is still a bit cool in the mornings, look no further! This rose latte is easy to make and all you really need to purchase is the rose water (if you don’t already have it), as the other ingredients you likely
Simple Strawberry Smoothie
This is a very quick and easy strawberry smoothie to make any time of the day, and is palatable to both children and adults alike. I definitely prefer to use frozen berries, as the end result is a cold, creamy smoothie, but if you don’t have a very strong blender, feel free to use fresh

Raw Shamrock Shake
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, here is a green shamrock shake recipe that won’t leave you feeling sick or let you crash from sugar overload! Of course, this cool, minty drink can be enjoyed any day of the year. This recipe serves one, but feel free to double it to satisfy two thirsty people.
Guest Post: Chocolate Tarts – Just like Hail Merry!
This recipe comes from my virtual friend and mentor in all things health and motherhood, Joanna Steven! I hope you enjoy her version of the popular raw, vegan, gluten-free chocolate tarts found at healthy grocers in the United States. I made this dessert for my husband last weekend, and let’s just say it didn’t last long
