Garlic and Rice Soup

This garlic and rice soup is a twist on sopa de ajo, the hot garlic-rich comfort soup from Spain.

Chocolate Vegan Truffles

Truffles. Little round toothsome candies. Of chocolate, cream and sometimes butter. You will be blown away by how delicious these chocolate vegan truffles are.

They can be rolled in cocoa powder or unsweetened coconut flakes–I like both for the attractive contrast.  Vegan and pretty much non-perishable, so shelf stable you can ship them to the tropics without a meltdown.
