Chocolate and Red Current Oatmeal with Cholaca Chocolate

Chocolate and Red Current Oatmeal

Sprouts Farmers Market   invited  Colorado bloggers to visit Cholaca headquarters here in Colorado. To be honest I was a bit curious to visit the company and taste test the chocolate and hear about their story. Now, those who know me do know that I tend to get a bit snobbish about chocolate. Guys! I am not a snob! It is just that I have had my fair share of chocolates that were just candy. Let’s not name names, but we know that most of our grocery stores have those lined up in the “candy” section. So a good quality chocolate that …

chocolate and tomato soup bundt cake

  It’s the strange but good sort of a day with the Bundt Bakers. And that’s why you are being forced to partake in a recipe that uses tomato soup as one of it’s ingredients.

So I was acting cool as a cuke and thinking, “I got this”! But I forgot, the …

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

And these Double chocolate chip cookies are her favorite. It is make someone’s cookie day with the Creative Cookie Exchange and I know making these for my daughter is going to make her day.

Classic Chocolate Truffles

  What is it about a sphere of chocolate that is so alluring, seductive, enticing! I am speaking about the good old chocolate truffle and it’s captivating charm. Is it the fact that it is made from chocolate? That would be reason enough for me to be,(ahem!) hooked to it. Or is it that it resembles, in the looks department, to the epicurean truffles from Périgord? Or is it because at some point in History both the chocolate and the lumpy little fungi have been associated with being an aphrodisiac? Is it all of the above? Chocolate truffles originated in …
