About Me

I'm just trying to get back to the basics. Fun, Food, Family and Nature. I want my family to respect nature, appreciate what they have and be as healthy as possible. No, we are not giving up our computers and televisions (I'm not crazy) but we are going to try to live healthier and do more for ourselves. We already hunt, fish, and do limited gardening (due to a lack of yard space). Now ... How can I push it further?

Dark Chocolate coating (for cookies, fruit or whatever)


These are my Ninja Almond Cookies shaped into footballs and covered in chocolate. The laces are just cream cheese and a few drops of liquid sugar substitute warmed and piped onto the cookies.


This has a rich dark chocolate flavor. Not super sweet, but good. If you like a sweeter chocolate just adjust the sweetener to taste.


2 Tbs. unsalted butter
2 tsp. coconut oil
2 Tbs. cocoa powder
2 tsp. granular sugar substitute (I use stevia)
Liquid sugar substitute equivalent to 2 tsp. sugar (I use stevia)


Melt butter and coconut oil in microwave. Add cocoa and sweeteners and stir until smooth.
That's it, you're done. Now start dipping!!!

Gets nice and hard in the fridge.
