America loves gossip.
Is anyone else a little scared that so many more people are interested in Lindsay Lohan’s drinking habits than, say, how to make Raw Snickerdoodle Cookies?
Yeah, me too. America’s obsession with useless gossip is utterly frightening. But here’s a piece of juicy gossip that isn’t useless:
If you add 4 tbsp cocoa powder to the Raw Coconut Cream Pie recipe, you get chocolate cream pie. You heard it here first. Now go spread it around town.
Raw Chocolate Cream Pie
- heaping 1/2 cup Thai coconut meat (about 110g)
- 1 1/2 cups raw zucchini (250g) (For a pie with a more traditional “coconut cream pie” taste, or if you don’t want the green color, omit the zucchini and add that much more coconut meat.)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
- stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste
- Optional 2 tbsp coconut oil, for a richer taste
- Optional for a mint chocolate chip pie, add a few drops pure peppermint extract
Add all the ingredients together and blend very well. If you’re using a Magic Bullet, you might want to blend the zucchini a little first so it doesn’t stay chunky. Transfer your mixture to a pie crust (or pie pan, for a crustless pie) and freeze. If you freeze it more than a few hours, thaw before eating.
now that some good gossip! I might be the only one that can’t stand perez hilton. EEK!

What a beautiful cake ! I think it’s also delicious as it seem so ! 🙂
I’m a reality show whore. Other than Glee (which I LOVE!), reality shows are really the only ones I like. I watch TLC 24/7….except when the new Sarah Palin show is on because she makes me want to throw things at my TV.
Ugh me too me too me too!!!! I saw it on the other night and wanted to cry :(.
I don’t read any gossip blogs or mags, or receive any. Although my guilty pleasure is flipping through the zines while waiting in the line at the grocery store. Once I read an article in a mag in Safeway that talked about Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Cuddy, on “House”. Top favorite show!) and her vegetarianism, complete with an interview and some of her favorite recipes. It was pretty cool! From the sound of it she is actually vegan. Who knew?! Now I think she is even more awesome that she was before 🙂

I love discovering that people I already liked are vegetarians! Like Natalie Portman :).
I read some celebrity gossip, but I don’t read Perez because I don’t like how mean he is. I heard he’s trying to change, though, so maybe he isn’t so mean anymore. A lot of it I don’t care about but I find it fun to see what people do and what clothes they wear.
I don’t watch reality TV. Can’t stand it.
This is an outrage!!!! Who would want to read Hilton’s blog over your’s??? 😉
But I think I need to try my idea, too! And yours! First I have to grab some mint extract and some cashews….unless I want to try and make it with all zucchini! I don’t think that will turn out too well, do you? hehe…
Hi Katie!
I’m new to your blog and just wanted to pop in and say hello 🙂
I only recently discovered the whole idea of raw eating when I saw a couple of documentaries and became hooked. I’m going to be trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet and possibly go all raw as time goes on!
As far as gossip, I must say that I LOVE reality tv, hahha…I love watching the drama of it. I have to say that I don’t like drama in my own life…but I love to watch it on tv!
And I love chocolate as well so you can pretty much consider me a new regular reader 🙂

Hi Lauren!! *Waves like crazy*
Thanks so much for the sweet comment. And I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who likes seeing others’ drama lol. I dunno, I guess it makes us feel better about the fact that ours are sane and calm, right? 😉
Hahahha, that’s right….it makes me feel so normal!
That pie looks amazing, and I love the suggestion of adding mint as well. Mint chocolate is a great combination! Hope you are having a great day Katie! 🙂
See, this is why I think I was born in the wrong generation. I don’t understand celeb gossip or reality tv!! I just don’t connect at alllll!! Much prefer chocolate-covered recipes.
Me too. Let’s go back to the 20s.
(As long as we can bring *some* technology, like modern medicine… and maybe some coconut butter too?)
I am going to be honest, I am a celebrity gossip blog reader. It is a habit I want to kick… really!
Besides, food blogs are better anyway 🙂
Hey, you’ll get no judgment from me. LOL as I said, I like those stupid tabloids, so who am I to talk? 😉
