Cherry Orange Festive Slice

So this slice started out as something a little different and morphed into the delicious Cherry Orange Festive Slice!

I had just whacked together a few things in my pantry and fridge and was expecting to work miracles again without too much effort. Unfortunately this time… not so lucky.

My taste testers said “yeah it’s ok, but a bit bland.” And I had to agree. Not sweet enough or flavoursome at all really. It was kind of like my White Christmas Slice but no where near as good.

So luckily with these melt and mix type creations, you can melt it down again and add more things. So that’s what I did.

Chocolate Brownies with Sweet Potato

So while my last blog post was about how raw cacao is not that great for you after all (read it here)   – here’s a Chocolate Brownie recipe using cacao!

It’s ok, I haven’t gone mad, it’s just that I wanted to clarify that you don’t necessarily have to give it up altogether.

Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge

Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge

Just another quick little recipe that I have featured on Instagram before but haven’t managed to post here – Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge.

In the past, if there was ever a choice of cake going around, my preference was always cheesecake. Not sure why, but it just hit the spot. The more I learn about good fats, blood sugar spikes with too much starchy carbs and the rest of the havoc caused by wheat products (currently reading Wheat Belly by William Davis MD and having mind blown,) I am coming to understand more why my body would choose this higher fat treat option. It knows best!

White Chocolate Fudge

Healthy Fudge, White Chocolate, Slim Birdy

So I was remembering my younger days and my preference in chocolate was always the milk chocolate type, not dark as that seemed too bitter. Super sweet white chocolate inspired this Healthy White Chocolate Fudge and luckily when you make it yourself, you can adjust the sweetness to suit.

Homemade Chocolate…and a new buttery twist.

Homemade chocolate is so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you’ve never done it before!

One of my big revelations when I finally worked out how to lose weight was that you don’t have to completely give up the taste of the stuff you like to eat. You just need to tweak it and make it at home. So it goes from being junk food, with no nutritional value, toxins, and chemicals that your body can’t recognise, to something so amazingly good for you. It still tastes fantastic, but now with amazing nutrition as well so it has an automatic off switch, making binge eating or over eating a thing of the past.

So one of the foods that most people absolutely love is chocolate.
