I am writing a new book. If you have been with me before, you will know that I published my previous blog as a book of the same name. ChangesTheBook is now available in print and on Kindle. This blog will have the name of the published work, Some Men Can Cook, Some Men Can Watch TV, Some Men Can Do Both – Secrets of the Fighter Pilot In The Kitchen.
I am going to publish some excerpts that I hope you will comment on, and will also offer up some of my special recipes. I hope that you will offer some of your own recipes. If they are accepted, I will publish them and credit you… So, lets get started.
Hmm… what kind of recipes are you looking for? I have an easy and sinfully delicious recipe for REAL chocolate candies:
3/4 cup coconut oil – if solid, place necessary amount in a small bowl. Place that bowl in a bigger bowl of very hot water until the oil becomes softer.
3/4 cup raw honey or agave nectar
1 cup RAW cacao powder (or carob powder, but real cacao tastes so much better)
3/4 tsp of vanilla
Combine all ingredients and blend. Pour into candy molds, or into a very shallow glass dish. It is normal for the coconut oil to separate from the rest of of the ingredients. Keep stirring as you pour into each mold, if you are using molds.
Place in freezer until set. Remove from molds or cut into small squares.
Additional yummy options: add nuts or fruit pieces. Or, make a layer of chocolate, covered with a layer of raw almond butter or peanut butter, then another layer of chocolate for a Reese’s-like treat!
This is great. Thanks Laura. You will be in the book. And, when you share this with others, than can be included.
I would like to add that women love chocolate! And if a man can make from scratch, real, healthy chocolate, how amazing is that?!
