This afternoon I was hungry for chocolate pudding...and knowing I didn't want to make it the SAD (Standard American Diet) way, I went looking and found it on www.happyfoody.blogspot.com
Here is the recipe. Check out this blog. There are many other delish looking recipes on here! And good ones for your health, that is the greatest part of all!
Raw Chocolate Pudding
This is a delicious and unique (not the mention healthy!) recipe. It was very simple to make...the only time involved is soaking the dates. Try this straight off the spatula or frozen. There is another version here (it's a little more gourmet...but Renee is one of my favorite chefs...so I had to mention it!). No photo today...you'll just have to make it yourself! Yum!

It was a hit at our dinner table tonite, especially since I took this pudding and layered it into goblets with sliced bananas and garnished with shredded coconut.
Try it. Let me know what you think!
