CONTEST/GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED.

My husband took charge this week and made dessert. Now, this is the guy who puts mustard on mostly everything, so I was a little worried when he told me he made a recipe. Don’t get me wrong, he has come up with some pretty amazing recipes, but one of those was a honey mustard dressing. I’m usually surprised at his choice of ingredients, but for the most part they turn out okay.

Well, his dessert turned out AMAZING. And I am in love. (With the man and the dessert.)

He has the most creative ideas.

That beautiful brown dusting is not chocolate, it’s actually carob! Carob comes from a bean family and has a rich, nutty flavor when put into desserts. It’s Paleo and Vegan, and doesn’t come with the inflammatory side effects that chocolate has.

And it makes beautiful raw desserts.

I haven’t always been a fan of carob, but I’m falling in love with the many ways I can use it. Like in macaroons, or in place of hot chocolate. I’ll definitely be sharing more carob recipes in the future!

But in the meantime, I want YOU to experiment with carob! And I’m going to give you a chance to win a FREE jar of Chatfield’s Roasted Carob Powder between today and Sunday night. The winner will be announced on Monday by Noon (MST). Giveaway is only good in the U.S.A.
