Roanoke Times Articles

The Roanoke Times, the local newspaper, published an article called "7 Delicious Desserts with Secret, Healthy Ingredients."  It is geared more towards the health-conscious with cookies and brownies that contain black beans or chickpeas.  But there is a recipe for chocolate truffles made with avocado, the quintessential coconut whipped cream, and a fruit-based kind of ice cream that doesn't require an ice cream maker.  All the recipes are vegan and worth taking a look.
