I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Superbowl weekend! I know Adam and I
did. I work in retail and somehow I was able to get the entire weekend
off! Crazy I know! So, we decided to spend some quality time socializing
our dogs, doing some lazy grocery shopping at Horrocks, and, to make
Sunday really special, put some mulled wine into a crock pot and snack
on goodies all day! Which I'm pretty sure is exactly what 80% of the
population was doing that day too -- just drinking and eating!
This no bake tart is a perfect dessert for Valentines Day! It hits all of the dietary categories: paleo, vegan, and gluten free. Not that you would be able to tell with how rich and decadent it is. It is virtually guilt free with a no-bake chocolate crust just sweetened with a little maple syrup filled with a dark chocolate vegan ganache and topped off with just the right amount of raspberry preserves.
Yesterday, my bestie Holly asked me if I had a new blog post and I was like "yeah--it just isn't posted yet." Well, isn't that lame! I came across this recipe a couple weeks ago and just had to make it! I've been completely addicted to soups lately and, more specifically, homemade soups. Potato soup is one that I've been wanting to do for a while. I tried a crockpot version before this one. Unfortunately, while it tasted amazing, the second time I heated it up all of the liquid was absorbed and the soup became the consistency of mashed potatoes!
Everyone always says before hand to remember to take it slow...to remember to pause...that the day will go way too fast, and to just absorb as much as possible. How incredibly true that was. For a lack of better words, this day was the best, most beautiful day of my life. It was also the hardest decision I have ever had to make in my life.
Can I start this post off with an "ugh", please!? I seriously am just overcoming the worst cold I have had in a very very long time. My mother says it's what I get for living in Florida and not being sick for over a year! ;)
