Chocolate Dip
Not only did we sort of fall into this recipe but we also fell in love with it rather quickly. I had purchased some fresh figs from the market and knew if I didn’t get them all used right away, they would be going bad soon.

In addition, I’m always looking for new and great ways to incorporate the herbs from...

Although this is not the ideal nutritarian snack, I have no problem feeding it two my kids as we consider it a great treat on occasion and a much healthier alternative to butter and heavily salted popcorn. Not...
