Honey Cocoa Almond Butter for SRC
For this month’s Secret Recipe Club Challenge, I was assigned the blog Delicious Existence written by Danielle. Danielle’s focus is on real foods, and features recipes that are raw, vegan, and vegetarian. I predominantly focus my own diet on real foods – lots of fruits and veggies and grains and lean proteins, but when it comes to baking I am all about the animal products, and don’t skimp on the fat and sugar. Admittedly I was pretty nervous about finding something to make this month, but I ended up finding a great raw recipe that I was excited to try, Homemade Rawtella.
Triple Chocolate Cookies for the Secret Recipe Club
For this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I was assigned My Hobbie Lobbie, a blog written by Trisha who is based out of Mumbai India. There are a lot of reasons why the SRC is great, and one of them is that you get to interact with bloggers from all over the world like I got to this month. In person I can only interact with those bloggers who are relatively nearby, but through groups like this one, I am able to expand my horizons and I think that’s so great. I had a lot of fun perusing Trisha’s blog, and from her recipes narrowed my choice down to a few great looking options before finally settling on these cookies for this month’s challenge. I read some reviews about them in which everyone raved, so I figured there was a good chance that I’d love them too. (more…)
Chocolate Cobbler
After a few months as a part of the Secret Recipe Club, I’m starting to feel at home, and I’m loving it! This month I was assigned the blog Busy-at-Home, written by Glenda Embree. Glenda has a great, comprehensive site that covers a lot of different topics in addition to her recipes (all things home and garden, family, and savvy spending!) I had no trouble at all finding several things I wanted to make, but I settled on this incredible recipe for Chocolate Cobbler, because it’s not something I’ve ever made or even tasted. I really had no idea what to expect from the recipe, and after assembling it I was sure I’d gone wrong somewhere – the consistency and assembly looked all wrong. But what I mistook for a mistake was actually something far from it. Something so wonderful there aren’t necessarily words to describe it. Your best bet is just to go make it yourself. (more…)
