RECIPE: Ah-mazing Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

Don’t let the avocado ingredient weird you out. These. Cookies. Are. Amazingly Good! My cousin passed along the recipe for these a few weeks ago (not sure who to high-five for the original recipe). My husband, a life long chocolate chip cookie fan (and critic) can’t stop talking about them! They are super moist and scrumptious! I had to get parchment paper, not a staple in … Continue reading RECIPE: Ah-mazing Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn’t need a chocolate fix every now and again…and again…and again?!? This recipe was passed along to me by a fellow chocolate addict from A Raw Food/Vegetarian website, and they are delish.  Don’t let the raw, vegetarian tag scare you–just means they are extra-healthy. A little longer than I like for prep time, but just because I’m impatient doesn’t mean I shouldn’t pass them … Continue reading RECIPE: Decadent Dessert Truffles
