Fresh from the Farm Milk?

I should have pictures of a farm and cows but there was a torrential rainstorm and we had to run into the barn in a flash, and without camera. It was open house at "Founded in 1800, Oake Knoll Ayrshires At Lawton's Family Farm, a 15 acre farm run by Terri Lawton". We met Terri's mom and went through a short orientation to the raw milk world by asking questions. We enjoyed sampling the fresh made cheeses made right there. The chive flavor was yummy. We had our first taste of raw milk, it's great, tastes like ordinary milk, just more flavorful. Next time I go I promise to have photos for you, this time you'll have to suffice with my storytelling. For more info on raw milk benefits see RAW MILK FAQ.

David Wolfe's Cacao Dessert

Why not begin with a recipe from David Wolfe's "Naked Chocolate", the raw food cacao bible. Some of his recipes were featured on Beliefnet from the book, which is not primarily a recipe book, but a textbook of sorts with oodles of history on the bean itself throughout the ages.

Dark Chocolate Sauce
4 heaped tablespoons of cacao powder
3 tablespoons of agave nectar
1 teaspoon of coconut oil

Mix all the ingredients together to form a paste. If you need it runnier, add more agave. If you need it a touch creamier, add some more coconut oil.
