Happy Holidays
Here are my favorite treats and potluck dishes. These are the tried and true recipes that I get asked for over and over again. Enjoy:
Chocolate Chip Cookies - best ever!
These cookies have a nice chewy texture to them. Make them gluten free or with spelt flour (my favorite).The recipe also calls for less sugar so they are not very sweet. Yum!

Cocoa Mousse
No need to tell you much about this one. This is another food that most all people can eat. It is decadent, satiating and healthy. Make sure you include raspberries and fresh mint!

Watermelon Cake
I just had to include this cake even though it is made with more of a summertime fruit. It is “red” though and so very novel. It would be fun to decorate with ornaments - althought there is nothing better than Earth’s ornaments of colorful berries.
Cocoa Truffles
These are really easy, and so creamy and delicious. They are great served with raspberries, and fun to play around with different spices as well. Make these often. They make a great gift or holiday treat.

Baked Yams
Best Dish to take to a potluck - Baking yams or sweet potatoes, and then sprinkling them with ground sesame seeds, and a little coconut or flax oil, is the bomb. Seriously, you won’t believe how good these are and always a hit with everyone. Besides, no matter what diet someone is on, they are legal (so to speak). Make a large dish of them for a party, cut into easy to serve sizes.
