My not so guilty indulgence

Chocolate.... think again.
This tasty morsel is actually called carob and is part of the pea family.
It has strong similarities to chocolate yet is much much healthier, as carob is naturally sweeter than cocoa so it doesn't require the added sugar. Carob is also caffeine free, handy for light sleepers like myself.

It has the same melt it your mouth feel, but a distinctly different taste.

Next time you go to reach for chocolate give carob a try or even substitute it for cocoa.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter No-bake Cookies

Whilst I was living in America I was amazed by these cookies! A cookie that you don't even have to bake.....revolutionary!
Heres the recipe, they're quick, delicious and you even save electricity!


chocolate + peanut butter oatmeal cookies

2 cups sugar -- I use organic raw cane sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa

1/2 cup skim milk

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy)

2 cups unrolled oats

1 teaspoon vanilla

In a boiler, combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter. Stir. Put boiler over medium-low heat until boiling. Boil for 2 minutes while stirring continuously. Remove from heat. Quickly add peanut butter. Add oats and combine. Add vanilla. Drop by the spoon-full onto parchment or wax paper.

The cookies begin to harden as they cool, so move quickly.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Lately I have had quite a fetish for Lemon meringue pie, if you haven't tried one then I suggest you do, or if you're really adventurous then you should have an attempt at making your own. Yum!
