    So I’ve seen recipes for “cauliflower” substitute everything recently on pinterest (click for my tipsychocochip board on pinterest!), and to be honest I’ve been fairly skeptical.  But I have been trying to eat healthier lately and I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, so I figured if I was going to stoop, maybe I’d try the cauliflower bread.  This is another recipe where this 1.5 c. food processor comes in handy!  Just enough to make one or two servings without unnecessary cleanup!   It was surprisingly tasty actually.  More akin to a bread-like texture than I thought, and definitely not bad smothered with cheese.  This…

    January 3, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    So for this tart, because it was New Year’s Eve, I cracked out the cute confetti sprinkles!  I think it ended up pretty cute.  One of the best things about this recipe is that you can top it with anything.  The original recipe, adapted from Ella’s Home Cooking Adventure No-bake Strawberry Chocolate Tart recipe, uses strawberries and chopped nuts. I’ve used caramel pieces as topping before, but you could use sprinkles, or any kind of fruit, candied orange peels, chocolate, maraschino cherries, cookie crumbles, crushed nuts…all sorts of goodness.  I used raspberries on this one because I wanted something a little different…
