Sjaak’s is well known for their vegan chocolates and have a number of different fun flavors on their site. For this review/giveaway I was sent the Winter Wonderland Gift Box.

I love that the box is the perfect gift; you don’t even have to wrap it just but a nice bow on and it’s ready to go under the tree.   In the Winter Wonderland Gift Box you will find a bunch of individually wrapped little dark chocolate snowmen with a yummy crunch peanut butter center.  Needless to say chocolate doesn’t last long in our house because the husband eats it all and these with the chocolate peanut butter goodness went faster than you could say Happy Holidays! How long do you think these would last in your house? For your own chance to find out see below on how to enter to win these cute little snowmen.

…Christmas!

I know we are crazy, this weekend one of my girlfriends came over and we spent the entire Saturday afternoon/evening making crafts for Christmas gifts. We also enjoyed this wonderful pizza that was so delicious.

Kale, Squash and Apple White Pizza

Recipe:

  • 1 whole wheat pizza crust (I buy prepared dough from our health food store)
  • 1/2 delicata squash, thinly sliced and roasted at 375F for 25 minutes
  • 2-3 cups of dinosaur kale, chopped and sauteed with 1T olive oil and 1T garlic until soft
  • 1 small apple sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced tofu, sauteed in 1T olive oil and 1T garlic until browned
  • Garlic Base- 2T Vegan margarine, 1/2T vegan parmesan and 3 cloves of roasted garlic; blend to a paste
  • red chili flakes, optional
  • salt and pepper

Preheat your oven to 450F.

Roll out your dough and place on a baking sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Spread the garlic base on your pizza and then begin to place on all of the toppings.  Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired and a little salt and pepper.

Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is brown.
