A funny thing happened to me on my way to the Olive Festival in Paso Robles this weekend… At one of the booths sat a psychic, offering tarot card, palm and energy readings. I, of course, being of curious nature have always wanted to cross that off my list of “Things to Finally Try” so I paid…
Raw Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
