I know, you are all probably doing the post-holidays battle of the bulge right now, but when you want to cheat or bookmark a recipe for Valentine's Day, here's your one for you! I'll be fighting the good fight right along with you, so stay tuned. I'm going to be doing a nourishing whole foods cleanse in the next few months with some nice, simple, veggie-heavy vegan dishes and I will be sure to share the recipes with you.

May we all have a happy and healthy New Year!

Vegan Mocha Brownies with Ganache Sorta-Recipe
Makes about 16 squares

I used an adaptation of this recipe of another recipe excepted I omitted the chocolate chips in the end and added 2 tsp espresso powder, a dash of cinnamon and 1 TB finely-ground coffee grinds to the margarine mixture.

After the brownies had cooled I topped them with a thick layer of ganche using this ganache recipe (except the only milk-like substance I had was Silk Soy nog and it worked really, really well). I also added a teaspoon of espresso powder.
