I said out loud 5 years ago that I was living my dream. I was 49 and about to embark on the thrill of a lifetime. My little mud pie bakery that I experienced when I was 5 years old, in my family’s backyard, was about to become FULL SIZE in December of 2012. Kelly’s […]

Happy New Year! Welcome 2018!
It’s another New Year’s Eve upon us and by all sentimental rights, it is the time to re-evaluate our paths that we are currently following and create new mantras and resolutions to lead us into a life worth living.

Vegan Gravy for Nut, Quinoa and Millet Loaf

This one can be used on my Nut Loaf recipe, drizzle it on roasted sweet potatoes, as a base for […]
