Chocolate and Chili!

Most people think summer is not the season for chocolate. It melts quickly, its taste is heavier, and lots of delicious chocolate treats (hot cocoa, baked goods, etc.) are usually associated with chillier weather. But chocolate is a year round food. It can be enjoyed in the hottest heat of the summer and the coldest winter night.   You can slide a hunk of Arriba Dark Chocolate Bar into a delicious smore around a campfire, drink a refreshing COLD chocolate drink, or even use chocolate as an ingredient in a Midwest traditional dish Cincy “Skyline” Chili. One of the most unique and delicious foods I’ve ever eaten, it combines the spicy chili flavor with rich spices like clove and nutmeg. A truly unique and classic American dish! Cincy “Skyline Chili” Ingredients: ·          1 quart cold water ·          2 lbs ground beef ·          2 cups crus...

Not Just Another Diet Craze!

The gluten-free diet has become a popular diet trend lately, and even though it looks like just another diet craze, gluten-free diets may be the right choice for some people looking to become healthier. Let’s take a look at the actual benefits of a gluten-free diet. Gluten is a type of protein that is found in cereals, wheat and some grains.
