Post Valentine's Day Recipe!

By Anonymous



Now that Valentine’s Day is over its time to take inventory; Roses (check), stuffed animal (check), chocolate (DOUBLE CHECK!). More than anything else chocolates are the #1 gift people give on Valentine’s Day, but normally people don’t eat entire boxes of huge chocolates on a regular basis. Here’s a great recipe for your leftover Valentine’s Day sweets, Fondue!

Fondue may not be the most common of dishes, although in the seventies it was everywhere. Fondue gatherings are a great chance to be interactive during dinner parties and it’s so easy to make even those who can’t cook can enjoy the simple dish.

Be creative with what you choose to dip as well. Baked goods like pound cake or cookies, fresh fruit such as strawberries or bananas work well, too.

                               Dark Chocolate Fondue


 Ingredients:
  • 12 ounces of eSutras Special Dark Chocolate  Chunks 
  • 8 ounces of heavy cream 
  • A pinch of salt
  • Dipping foods such as strawberries, banana or dried fruit

Directions:


  1.  Warm the cream over moderate heat until it begins to lightly and slowly boil. Add the chocolate and mix until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a fondue pot heated at low or with a low flame.
  3. Arrange the dipping foods on a platter. Use a fondue fork or bamboo skewer.
  4. If the fondue begins to feel a little stiff, add a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir. It will help it go a little longer. Eventually, it will cook down and you may need to start a new pot.

Enjoy!

Lots of Love

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws. The Gaia archetype underlies all notions of the Nature Cure. Mother Nature is a healing goddess for the ancients whose glory was celebrated each spring, long before organized religion came into...
