I have a delicious new superfood product I call Lucuma Cookie Bites, filled with creamy coconut, lucuma fruit powder, maca root, raw honey, wild brazil nuts and spices. These taste just like little cake doughnuts, I am told :) Sweet and buttery, the perfect snack.

There are also some new recipes and a video recipe on my blog that are there to inspire the creative forces within. The video, if you have yet to see, is a recipe for Strawberry & Cacao Caramel Layer Bars, truly a treat. This easy recipe can be done quickly, and is great to serve those new to raw foods, since it has familiar flavors and nice layered textures.

One more note, I would love if you share my website/videos/recipes with the people you know. My goal is to share delicious, nutritious and fun food with those that love being healthy and want to make it themselves. So if you could take a moment to help inspire others around you, whether you make a recipe yourself and share it with a friend, or you send my information along to those that want to make this kind of food, I really would appreciate the community spirit that this kind of superfood, whole foods lifestyle needs :)
