Chocolate. Ahhhhh the splendor. Fudge?! On Family Fresh Cooking? Yes and it is vegan too. There is something about taking your favorite chocolate bar, adding something creamy (in this case light coconut milk) and making it a smooth and silky treat. The crispy brown rice cereal adds a nice crunch factor into your smooth chocolate bliss. [...]

We add it to our oatmeal in the morning. We enjoy it on our pies, parfaits, cakes, shakes and cupcakes. We are [...]

The hardest thing about this recipe was finding a name for it. This was supposed to be pancakes, obviously this did not turn into pancakes. Not even close. This is a kind of pudding cake, with the texture of a flourless chocolate torte, yet with the oats it is more grainy than that. Difficult to [...]

If you have been hanging out here for a little while you would know how obsessed I am with dessert pizzas lately. In our house they also make great hand held snacks and breakfast. Yes, even with chocolate. A small square of chocolate goes a long way. Especially when it is high quality dark chocolate. [...]

It is evident that we should not be eating chocolate cookies for breakfast. Except when we are making homemade cookie cereal from scratch with pure and healthy whole food ingredients. Do not fear, even though the name is suggestive of a cereal I would never purchase at a store, I stayed true to health and flavor [...]
