Raw Cheese is Good.

May 13, 2009

In my foodilicious travels, and as part of my CCV “new foods challenge”, I decided to try something that has otherwise freaked me out in the past. I saw a documentary once about a girl who was lobbying for the ability to buy and consume raw milk. To my rawvirgin ears, this was blasphemous and disgusting. So, I ventured out to my local organic market and purchased some raw cheese of my very own. I was determined to form my own opinion about the raw stuff.

Ulimana Giveaway WINNER!

May 11, 2009

Hi everyone, Nikko here.

My Mom has sore feet, so she wanted me to announce the winner of her Ulimana Giveaway.

Really, I think she’s just mad at me for trying to bite my Grandma yesterday during Mother’s Day dinner. This must be my punishment. It’s really difficult typing with no opposable thumbs, ya know?

Chocolate Making 101: Hand-Making Truffles

May 5, 2009

I was lucky enough to be able to attend a great event at a local pastry shop this past Sunday after my half marathon: Chocolate Making 101: Hand-Making Truffles. I love making things. I love truffles. It was perfect. I wrangled up a few friends, and we set forth with our plan to learn how to make truffles. You can make these at home, it is SO easy. I promise.

“Raw” Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudgies

May 5, 2009

These little fudge beauties rival the “no bake” cookies that I made as a child, but they are so much healthier. They really are delicious, and the oats get softer and soak up the other flavors as they dehydrate. You will love them. I promise.

Brunch Bunch, I Love You!

April 28, 2009

I don’t know about you, but after my long runs, I am ravenous for like the next 2 days. I try to keep a lid on it and not go too overboard, but when you run 10 miles and burn 1,000 calories, your body just wants (and needs) to eat. I don’t mind obliging. That said, my monthly Sunday Brunch Bunch couldn’t have come at a better time!

Almond Coconut Macaroons: So Good You Might Cry.

April 26, 2009

So, I made up my own macaroon recipe. And, since I refuse to have secrets between us, I am giving it to you. I learned how to share. Me and sharing…we go way back. Don’t be thwarted by the “dehydrator” thing. You can make these in a regular old oven, you just have to set it as low as possible, and you can even leave the door open. It’ll still work. I promise. But start saving your money for a Excalibur. It’s worth it. I promise.
