I just posted a almost flourless cake and wanted to share something that will save you time and energy. Because sometimes there is nothing that will do except chocolate, but we are either not in the mood to bake or simply don’t like to bake, here is a great little secret.
At Whole Foods there is a little gem of a chocolate dessert called Miles of Chocolate. It is gluten free and probably one of the most delectable chocolate desserts I have ever had. I have written about it before, so this is just a little reminder. It is in the bakery part of Whole Foods and you might have to ask the bakery attendant to show you where it is located. It is in the cold prepared bakery items part and is individually wrapped like a brownie. But trust me on this. It is so much better than a brownie. It is part brownie and part chocolate truffle. They are a little pricey but oh so worth it. You could buy as many as needed for each guest you are having. Serve them either straight out of the fridge or room temp on a plate with a raspberry or strawberry sauce, topped with whipped cream and your guest will think you have been in the kitchen for days. Trust me on this one. These little Miles of Chocolate are the best thing since disposable diapers. I read that they have them at Central Market also, but have not been there to see. We have bought ours at Whole Foods each time. Let me know what you think of them. If you are curious about them, just google Miles of Chocolate and see all the comments written about them. They truly are a little slice of heaven and the best chocolate dessert around. The man who introduced these to the world use to sit by me in high school, but I don’t think we ever talked. Darn, I should have paid more attention to the people sitting by me instead of what outfit I was going to wear the next day.

Ezekiel Brand English Muffin BLAT’s
For some reason, I am on a sandwich kick. Maybe because it is warming up here finally and salads and sandwiches just sound good. Just returning from Whole Foods ( I can’t believe I even have recyclable bags now), I went with the intent to buy lots of fresh veggies. We are trying to cut down on gluten and meat during the week, so we can go crazy on the weekends. I came home with several new items today, such as gluten free tortilla wraps which I am going to make bean and cheese nachos, and Ezekiel brand, cinnamon and raisin English muffins. So I have lots of new items to test out this week. DId I mention that I even bought fresh collard greens? For those of you who know me, usually my grocery basket is full of cocoa, butter, cream cheese and Dr Peppers. Tonight, we are having grilled tilapia with grilled veggies. Randy will be shocked. Whole foods even have soy ice cream, all different flavors of which I have come to really like. Trader Jo’s have soy cherry-chocolate chip soy ice cream, which I could sit and eat the whole half gallon in one sitting.
Because Randy is suppose to be watching how much gluten he is having, I have decided to help him out. Tomorrow, I will be packing him a Ezekiel muffin BLAT. (bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato)
Just fry up 6 pieces of bacon until crisp. (3 pieces on each sandwich) This will all make 2 sandwiches Drain on paper towel. Slice a fresh tomato and an avocado. Wash 2 pieces of butter lettuce and wipe dry. Spread a little basil Pesto on each side of the muffin. Stack the bacon, lettuce and tomato and avocado and place muffin top over the BLAT.
At the end of the week, I will let you know if cutting back on the gluten and meat help us loose a couple of pounds. Since we don’t want to loose to much weight, we will end our evening eatting all the soy ice cream. /p>
BLAT’s might be the next big diet food. (I wish) Wonder if I will loose weight if I eat 3 of them?
