Fiyaaaaaaaa-haaaaa-haaaaaa! Cider. If you’re not on the fire cider train, then you best get a ticket and come aboard! (omg I’m so sorry about all of this.) Does it work? Who really knows. Could it help? Well I think so! Look at everything in it. Nothing but aromatics, herbs, cinnamon, vinegar and honey. How could […]

Coconut Pumpkin Ricotta Cake

Coconut Pumpkin Ricotta Cake / Bev Cooks

Ricotta cake. Because I feel like the combo of cheese and cake might be exactly what’s needed. Some of us are hurting. Some aren’t. We’re not getting into any of that though. I refuse to give it energy. However, while we feel our feelings and process what’s ahead, why not have some cake! Some ricotta […]
