Chocolate Lace Lollipops

Course:

Dessert

Seasonal Event:

Valentine's Day

1. Using a double boiler method, melt chocolate. To do this fill a pot with a few inches of water. Place heat proof bowl on top of pot (ensuring it is not touching the water) and add 3/4 of the dark chocolate. Heat water until it simmers. Stir chocolate to melt. Add remaining dark chocolate and stir until all of it is melted. Remove from heat. Repeat this step with white chocolate.
2. Using a permanent marker, draw 10 two- and- three-quarter inch (seven-centimeter) circles on parchment paper. Flip over.
3. Pour dark chocolate into piping bag or zip top bag and cut a small hole at the corner of the bag. Place lollipop stick in center of each circle. Pipe overlapping lines of chocolate over circle making swirls. Pipe a little more chocolate over lollipop stick. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle nuts, dried fruits and sprinkles on top. Continue this process with white chocolate.
4. Place lollipops in refrigerator for about 10 minutes to harden. Enjoy!

TIPS:

• Instead of double boiler method, you can also melt chocolate in microwave. Place 3/4 chocolate in microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds and then 10 second intervals after that until melted being careful not to burn. Remove chocolate from microwave and add remaining chocolate and stir to melt.

• Place lace lollipops in cello bags for a beautiful party favor for bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, etc.!

• Other toppings could include coconut flakes, goji berries, crushed pretzels, crushed candy, butterscotch or peanut butter morsels, sea salt, pepper!

• You could also use milk chocolate or ruby chocolate—which is a huge trend right now, the 4th chocolate!

• Swirl several different types of chocolate to create multi-flavored lollipops.

• Use flower foam board to display lace lollipops at a party.

• These are such an easy treat but have a huge payoff because they look so custom.

• Such a fun party idea to have set up for guests!

So easy, my toddler daughter helps me make these!

Chocolate and Hazelnut Biscotti

Course:

Dessert

Cuisine:

Italian

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. If your hazelnuts are whole, stick the point of a knife into a nut at the fat, dimpled end, and it should break in half fairly easily. Don’t worry if the halves aren’t perfectly even. If that seems too fussy, then just roughly chop them. Just don’t chop too finely!
3. Put the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.
4. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them with a fork. Add the eggs to the flour mixture and mix with a spoon. The mixture will be very dry and stiff. Use your hands to finish mixing, adding the nuts at the end.
5. Using your hands, form an irregular, raggedy mound of about a tablespoon of dough, and drop it onto the cookie sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough, spacing the cookies about
6. 1 inch apart. Bake for 20 minutes. It is hard to tell when they are done, since they are a deep, dark brown, but 20 minutes is usually good.
7. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. The cookies will be very hard on the outside and a little moist and chewy on the inside. If making them ahead, store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Taco Tuesday just got a facelift! Store- bought taco spice mixes are often heavy on salt and polluted with sugar, fillers, and other chemicals. These tacos instead rely on potent amounts of the spices tradition- ally used in tacos, so you can reap major antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Use quinoa as the main component to truly let the spices shine through, or make the beef version, if you desire. My favorite way to enjoy these tacos is in lettuce cups with a scoop of fresh salsa, cubed avocado, fresh cilantro, and a splash of fresh lime juice. Or, if you prefer a traditional wrapping for your taco, feel free to use organic corn tortillas instead of lettuce.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onions and minced garlic and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion is softened.

2. Add the cumin, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, cayenne, and black pepper and cook for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally, until the spices are fragrant.

3. Add the quinoa and stir until well incorpo- rated (or, if using beef, add and stir frequently to prevent clumping, until browned and cooked through). Season with salt and remove from the heat.

4. Scoop about 1⁄4 cup of the filling into each lettuce leaf and serve with the desired toppings.

MAKES 24 TOSTADAS; SERVES 6

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400°f (200°c). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set one oven rack in the middle and one beneath the broiler.

2. Using the chopping blade on your food processor, process a handful of florets at a time for about 30 seconds, until completely chopped into the consistency of meal (see page 19). Transfer the meal to a clean, thin dish towel or piece of cheesecloth and continue this process until all the florets are chopped. Do this in two or three batches; if you put all the florets in the food processor at once, they won’t get evenly grated.

3. Once all the meal is in the dish towel, gather the corners and, working over the sink, squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Put the squeezed cauliflower in a large bowl.

4. Quickly rinse out the food processor (it doesn’t have to be perfectly clean) and add the cubed cheese. Process for about 20 seconds, until chopped.

5. Add the chopped cheese to the bowl of cauliflower meal along with the taco seasoning and cilantro (save a little to use as a garnish). Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together.

6. Work in batches to bake the tostadas. Use a small ice cream scoop (or a tablespoon) to make eight 2-inch (5 cm) balls of the cauliflower mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Use a spatula to flatten the balls. Use your fingers to re-form the flattened balls into circles as needed.

7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, then broil on high for 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cook the second batch. Allow each batch to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Use the first baking sheet for the third batch of tostadas and repeat until all three batches are baked.

8. Top the tostadas with some queso or salsa, avocado, and more cilantro for garnish. Tostadas are best eaten immediately.

DIRECTIONS VEGAN QUESO

MAKES 5 CUPS; SERVES 10

1. Bring an inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket set over the boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, until the florets are easily pierced with a fork.

2. Combine the cooked cauliflower, salsa, cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, cumin, and salt in a high-powered blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

3. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and blend for another 10 seconds to puree the queso.

4. Enjoy the dip warm and garnished with chopped cilantro. Serve the dip with your favorite tortilla chips or sliced veggies like bell pepper or carrots. Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Reheat on the stovetop, whisking in some unsweetened almond milk if the queso gets too thick
