Almond Chip Cookies
Is there anyone who doesn’t dream of bowls of raw chocolate chip cookie dough?
It’s time to make that dream a serious reality.
Process 1 c almonds, until very fine. Add 1/2 c honey, 1/4 c coconut oil, and a dash or two of vanilla. Continue to process. If the mixture becomes very thin, as if it’s melting, you’ve got too much coconut oil. In that case, add more almonds...

Raw "Hot" Chocolate
Because we all need something warm when it snows.
Blend together a few spoonfuls of raw cacao, a spoonful of raw honey, and roughly 1 cup of raw milk/coconut milk/water.
Pour mixture into a pan and heat on a very low flame, stirring continuously so it doesn’t overheat. Never let it boil but let it get warm enough so when you sip it the heat will reach all the way to your toes :)
