| Guanabana Fruit Hello Everyone: I am back from my holiday experience in Costa Rica. Thanks to some fabulous friends I was able to chef for Finca de Vida retreat center in Costa Rica this holiday season. As you can see from the pictures I had a great time, created some wonderful raw vegan foods for the guests and even stumbled upon an easy new fudge recipe, by mistake. It was one of the best mistakes I have ever made! I love those kind. After spending a month in Costa Rica, tour, hiking, swimming and zip lining. I am ready to take some raw food enthusiasts to have a wonderful and healthy vacation there too. At Finca de Vida, you have the best of all worlds. They have beautiful new accommodations, a fully stocked raw food kitchen, wild birds and monkeys, hiking trails, waterfalls, horseback riding, the beach and more, at your finger tips. Every day is fun fill and action packed as you experience the rich landscape of southern Costa RIca. The fruits and vegetables are fresh, juicy and plentiful. So if you are considering a vacation where it is warm, lush and beautiful... stay tuned for our upcoming retreat offerings at Finca de Vida. Now for the mistake that became an easy fudge recipe.... Easy Fudge from Costa Rica Makes 25 small pieces 7 TBS cacao powder 9 TBS coconut oil, melted 5 TBS honey, can be creamed or regular 1/2 tsp vanilla dash salt In a blender or food processor, combine the coconut oil, cacao powder vanilla and salt. Then add the honey and continue to combine. Adjust for chocolate flavor and sweetness. The mixture should be thick, but thoroughly combined. Line a glass or plastic container with parchment paper and pour the mixture into it. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When solid, remove and cut into pieces. You may freeze the fudge if you wish. Enjoy! Until next time. Many Blessings, Dr. Diondra |
