Brand new Greek yogurts from everyone’s favorite dairy-free company, So Delicious. These almond milk Greek yogurts are soy-free, dairy-free, and coconut-free. They come in berry flavors as well, but I only purchased the chocolate and vanilla. Both were tart, yet slightly-sweet, with a custard-like texture.
One of my favorite (fair-trade!) chocolate companies has just introduced a coconut-flavored chocolate bar. The Sweet Riot Dark Chocolate Kickin’ Coconut bar is delicious! Soft dark chocolate, with sweet coconut shreds in every bite.
Love in a wrapper.
New from Clif Bar: Kit’s Organic Fruit and Nut Bars. Imagine a Larabar, but with a higher nut-to-date ratio (so more rich and less sweet). The chocolate flavor tasted almost like a cocoa macaroon. (I actually only bought the chocolate and peanut butter ones. Sorry, but berry-flavored snack bars just don’t interest me!)
Link of the Day:
I really want those yoghurts. As in really. I wish they would hurry up and start distributing in Australia!
i have never commented on your post, but i think that is ridiculous. i was an english major, and i absolutely believe that language is important in shaping our reality, but that guilt business is overblown.
really. go have a nice sprinkle party today!
I re-read yesterday’s post 3 times and I still can’t find where you said anything about having guilt at a party. I must have totally missed the boat on that one. I wouldn’t have taken offense to something like that anyway!!!
Will have to look for the chocolate yogurt. Looks awesome. And LOVE the sweet riot chocolates. Love finding new yummy products to try!!
I edited it out of the post, as it really wasn’t my intention to offend and I can see how people were interpreting my words negatively. The original post said:
Cake Batter Dip healthy enough to eat with a spoon.
No guilt.
Guilt has no business at a party.
Must have read it and didn’t think a thing of it. I certainly didn’t take offense to that. People just like to find things to complain about! We know where your heart is!! (most likely in the middle of the cake batter!!) LOL And I’ll be right there with you! Yum
Ah, the Internet, where, if you’re so inclined, you can be offended by anything! (Seriously, some people are offended by youtube videos of puppies running. How can anyone be offended by romping puppies?!?!?!)
I cannot imagine you deliberately trying to offend ANYONE. Just the opposite!
Your blog is amazing. YOU are amazing! I can’t wait until your book is published: I’m going to buy a copy for myself and one for just about everyone I know.
Oh but puppies are so offensive. I mean, just look at their faces! 😉
🙂
Katie,
I find you to be simply adorable. Please don’t let the remarks of others cause you start second guessing everything you write. I enjoy your sincere, light-hearted, and delicious posts. Some people just aren’t “happy” unless they are miserable and do their best to make others miserable. Glean from constructive critiques where they have YOUR best interest at heart; absolutely dismiss the rest.
Ditto…I rarely comment but had to re-read the post (and comments). I bet you are going to see a lot of activity on that entry because we want to figure out what is considered offensive enough for someone so they feel they must hurt another. Guess i’m clueless because I’ve always figured you are kind because your recipes avoid the mood swings associated with a crummy diet)
Me thinks you are quite original and I recently had to create a Pinterest board dedicated just to you because I kept pinning so many of your recipes.
Repeat after me…screw ’em! (a bit vulgar but feeeeels sooooooo goooooood!)
Now get back to saying what ever is on your mind (and keep the recipes coming for your dedicated fans)!!!
Thanks, Kcli.
I think I’m just unusually positive because of all the chocolate. Seriously, it is impossible to eat chocolate and frown at the same time. 😉
almond milk greek yogurt?! finally!! i’ve been wishing for a vegan greek yogurt (not soy) and i don’t know how i’ve missed this one! i feel like i check whole foods every time i go, which is way too often. 🙂 i’ve actually never seen almond milk yogurt period there, or at least not the one at park lane by northpark. but then again, i do have pretty bad eyesight. 🙂
as for anyone who took your comment on thursday the wrong way, i can’t imagine how. guilt doesn’t belong at a party! i took your words exactly how you said you meant them, the first time. eating a non healthy desert would make me feel guilty (especially since i know i could have made one of yours and it would taste just as good! scratch that…better!), and that doesn’t make for a fun party! but i know so many people who don’t feel guilty about indulging a little when it’s a party, but the bottom line is the same: guilt doesn’t belong because parties are supposed to be fun! no apology necessary in my opinion!
I take an offense to you apologizing for something completely appropriate and OK and normal. lol
I’d expect an honest person to say things honestly – so don’t go changing your attitude or your way of thinking because someone needs psychiatric help.
Just saying. As in who really dissects everything you say not to mention take it personally Katie? I know you’re the star of the blog, but it should stay as star of the blog, not personal bestest friend I never knew. You make good food, awesome food, and you write funny posts, cause you’re funny! keep doing your job the way you do it – it gives it character and reflects pride and love for food.
hmmm i didn’t notice anything offensive on your last post…but i think your such a sweet person to be sensitive towards other peoples feelings =)
It looks like a few people have already said something to this effect but: we can’t spend all our time making sure everyone understands exactly what we mean. Some people just read negativity into everything and some people like to use the internet as a platform for bullying others. You have always been pretty clear in you statements, and I think your readers would want to hear more about your life rather than an apology for a perfectly acceptable comment. Keep up the good work!
