We all know that Valentine’s Day is 3 days away! (Don’t we? Or is that just chocolate obsessed, champagne loving, ever the romantic, ME?) Regardless, it’s time for some sweets. I found a great flourless recipe for brownies at Whole Foods Market! Continue reading Flourless Brownies
Kale Chips
Kale is one of the world’s healthiest foods, but it’s hard to get some members of the family to try it- here’s a way to make it that is sure to please everyone!
Kale Chips
Wash and thoroughly dry one bunch of dinosaur kale
De-rib the kale and tear into good size pieces
Put pieces in a bowl, season with sea salt and drizzle with coconut oil.
Mix well and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. turning once, halfway through.
Keep your eye on them and remove from oven when crunchy and a little brown.
They crisp up like chips and are so tasty!
Ask Holly: Dessert Recommendations?
What do you recommend for dessert that is both healthy and tasty? We have currently cut dessert out but it is no fun…unless you call apple slices dessert which is what we are currently having.

Hi Amelia!
I agree that apple slices are not fun for dessert! I like a few pieces of dark chocolate. Make sure it’s 70% cacao (or higher) and organic. If it’s at least 70%, there will be a lot less sugar. Theo is a great brand, that doesn’t use any emulsifiers (soy lecithin, etc) only cocoa butter. I toured the factory in Seattle and it was great! Chocolate is high in anti-oxidants and a few pieces should take care of your sweet tooth. Another option is cinnamon raisin mochi (can be found at health food stores). You cut it into bite sized squares, put it in the oven for a few minutes, and it puffs up into this cool pastry type goodness. We add butter and honey…mmmmm.
