Let me make this short and sweet!

My energy was in full throttle as I continue to inspire for 3 years in a row, everyone who participated in the Annual Health Healing and Happiness Conference the past weekend! I have shared straight-forward solutions and motivations to get passed the common excuses in living a Fire-Driven Life! Check out my Facebook Fan Page for some great photos too! Plus my signature sweet treat for everyone was there- in the form of a plant-based Caramel Almond Bites! No oil, no dairy and no sugar awesome dessert!

Of course, I am going to share this deliciously healthy dessert to all of you who was not able to attend the conference via my Meatless Monday! I’m sure that your palate will be in heaven while you simultaneously fuel your body with this nutty treat! Totally raw and 100% guilt-free! This yummy dessert is packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber courtesy of the amazing almond nuts! Almonds are also rich in vitamin E, copper, magnesium, and high quality protein.

Here’s the ticket to your sweet indulgence!
