SYRUP
1 vanilla bean, soaked in water ( use seeds only)

CHOCOLATE FUDGE
Makes about 2 cups
Marble is the ideal surface for preparing fudge, as it’s cool enough to keep the integrity of shape, and won’t absorb oils the way wood does. If you don’t have a marble slab or counter, use a piece of wax paper. Make sure that the almond butter [...]

BANANA BOATS
MAKES 1 EDIBLE MARITIME SCULPTURE
“Don’t play with your food” is normally a good maxim. But exploring the texture and shape of raw foods as building blocks once in a while is a wholesome alternative to gingerbread houses. Don’t feel constrained by this design—use whatever you’ve got on hand.

VEGGIE NUGGETS
Makes 60 nuggets or 10 patties or 20 corn dogs
The veggie nuggets travel well. These got the thumbs-up from kids in the shape of veggie nuggets, but for variety you can shape them into burgers or dogs. Texture will vary some as well, as the larger sizes will be more moist inside. The [...]

CAROB FUDGE BROWNIES

Try making a double batch, as these caffeine-free treats are hard to keep on hand.

Let’s face it: most of us didn’t grow up drinking anything green. But a few sips of this and you’ll be changing your tune: it is easy being green after all!
TOOLS
Juicer, I like the Green Star because it extracts so much more juice from the fruits and vegetables than other juicers on the market!
