Chewy Chocolate-Orange Bars

Raisin Puree is the basis for the dough of this rich-tasting, chewy bar. The combination of orange and chocolate is a classic favorite. We considered cutting the amount of chocolate in the recipe, thereby cut ting the fat, but in the end we agreed that the extra richness is worth the extra grams of fat.

Broccoli Italian Style

Great way to serve brocolli. I add a bit of lemon juice, smidge of seasame oil (tastes more like Asian brocolli than Italian). Cook/steam the brocolli in a few tablespoons of water in a pot with a tight fitting lid instead of boiling. No more than 5 minutes in my opinion or it's overdone.
