Caribbean Spiced Raw Ice Dream
What makes this Caribbean-Spiced? Freshly ground nutmeg from Grenada! For my last birthday I was treated with an ice cream maker and I’m absolutely in love with it.

Nut Butter Cups (Vegan & GF)
I can’t speak for everyone, but to me nut butter is its own food group! 2 Tablespoons for a serving? That’s unheard of; I don’t eat less than half the jar in a sitting (guilty pleasure!). And who doesn’t get chocolate cravings? I’m sure every gal out there will tell you, chocolate is hormone’s best…
