Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

We are absolute yoghurt addicts at our house.  We eat it for breakfast, for dessert, and substitute it into recipes all the time with deliciously creamy results!

While living in Europe, I found myself preferring tubs of plain, unsweetened yoghurt.  This way I could decide just how much I want, and how I want to use.  As a savory substitute for sour cream, as the base for an improvised veggie dip, or sweetened with fresh fruit or homemade jam for dessert. 

Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

We love our fruits and vegetables at our house, but that doesn't mean that we don't enjoy a nice chocolate indulgence from time to time!  These chewy, fudgey cookies are the perfect chocolate fix.  They're perfect for cookie exchanges, as homemade gifts for Valentines day and Christmas, and of course for dessert!  

French chocolate tarte with dark chocolate ganache

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.  This tarte is so terrifically indulgent.  I make it for every occasion I can justify, and can't stop eating it when I do!

It is a smooth, almost chewy chocolaty base covered with a deep chocolate ganache glaze.  A-maz-ing.
