Remember all the oohing and awing I did awhile back over Matthew Kenney's new book? Well, he's at it again!
And all I can say is that this is some serious "eye" candy. Not only are the recipes creative, sweet and gourmet but the pictures are out of this world.
And not to mention the obvious, but Meredith and Matthew both, are just as pleasing to look at! These two extremely cool people have put togther one gorgeous book and it is coming to stores very soon.
For now, I'm excited to share with you this sneak peek: two of their brilliant recipes and photos {all taken by the lovely Adrian Mueller}

If you LOVE what you see. You really should pre-order the book, Raw Chocolate, from Amazon. Launch date is sometime in February. To sign up, click here!

It's been pretty cold in Southern California. At least for Southern California standards. And I wake up craving something hot.
So, I made fresh spicy, flavorful, sweet homemade chai tea. It was a perfect way to start my early, cold morning.
An afternoon in a La Costa Resort {we became members back in December - thank you WES!} hot tub is also a great way to beat the chill.
Happy Monday!
CHAI TEA RECIPE
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp cloves {about 4 or 5}
1/4 tsp ground cardamom {or 4-5 whole}
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 bags or black tea or 1 Tbls loose leaf
Using a mortar pestal, grind all spices together. Pour enough hot water over tea bags or loose leaf tea to fill a standard mug. Let steep. Remove tea and add the ground spices. You can add as much of it as you'd like. About 1-2 teaspoons. Add cream {creamer} of choice and some raw honey. PERFECTION!!

Literally, just throw it in your blender. Hurry. And you'll be so glad you did!
To all my pregnant friends, or those TRYING to get pregnant, throw this in a blender.
Nutrition is key to great pregnancy, birth and healthy baby!
Also, believe it or not, your children might drink it too. If your kids can get this once a day, you don't have to stress or worry about a so-called balanced diet. Give it whirl. You'll be happy you did.
Check out this video...it's worth watching.

I had the priviledge of working with and making friends with Chris Nelson. She has known my Wes for like 8 years or so.
She offered to take a few products shots of my Kookie Karma snacks with her new lense. I was in awe after seeing the final products. Please enjoy Chris Nelson's beautiful photos. They will be posted on our web site when we redesign it very soon. But you saw them here first! ;)
Thank you again Chris, you're amazing!
