Hey, Tumblr! Sorry I disappeared for so long (again). Life has been so crazy lately, baw. 

I have a little treat to share with you, since I’m sitting here trying to get a chocolate fix without eating any dairy or eggs or wheat involved. I happened to find this at Whole Foods last week, and kind of fell in love. It’s a vegan chocolate ganache and tastes a little like chilly fudge, but smoother. Like eating chilled frosting!  

For the allergen-conscious kids, there are no eggs, no dairy, no wheat! Just cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, almonds, and dates. You can only really taste the cocoa, though, with the crunch of the nuts in there at the bottom of the cake. 

The brand name is ooo zaza raw, if you want to check it out yourself. They also have cheesecake flavors, which aren’t my style, but if they taste as good as this then you cheesecake lovers out there will adore them.

Made a new healthy quinoa dish for myself last night! I haven’t been getting enough protein in my diet, so I’m trying to mix it up a bit.

This is basically quinoa, tomato/basil sauce, ground beef, chopped garlic, and a three-cheese mix with parmesan and similar cheeses, all mixed together. It could use a bit more spice, in my opinion, but it’s definitely delicious! Next time I think I’m going to try adding some peppers and onions.
