I love an easy recipe. I especially love an easy recipe with just a few ingredients. Even better? When it tastes great on top of it all! :) These Chocolate Covered Banana Bites are a fantastic snack, especially when you are craving something sweet and chocolaty but don’t want to ruin your diet. Chocolatey? Chocolatie? Choklutty. There. That’s it.  Anyway, I broke down and bought my first jar of coconut oil this week just for this recipe that I saw on The View From Great Island. I know some people live and die by the stuff, but I just never got past all the hype. If you can cook, bake, do dental work, wash your face, unclog a drain and fix your car engine with the same thing…I don’t know. Call me a cynic. :) OK, that may be a little extreme, but you get my drift. However, it’s my new favorite thing for dipping chocolate. Because it’s a solid below 76° it hardens immediately upon contact with frozen or cold things. Like bananas. Behold, the secret of the magic shell! So, even at $

This is a buttery, salty , sweet , chocolate , white chocolate candy coated pretzel and pecan loaded popcorn treat!   Well that was a mouth full!  And so is this popcorn! I’ve never made anything like this before, I have to say this was amazing!  This has everything you could ever want in a popcorn snack.  From, salty to sweet to crunchy and smooth, it’s in there.  My goodness when you have all those flavors together in you mouth it’s incredible.  And it’s easy to make!  You can have this done and be eating it in 45 minutes.  I couldn’t let this alone,  it was just way too good.  If you don’t care for nuts you wouldn’t have to put them in, just add more pretzels, or if you prefer another nut switch the pecan halves out for halved walnuts or whole almonds. This would be a wonderful snack recipe to take to a New Years Eve party.  I guarantee it won’t last long!  Enjoy!

Watermelon and strawberry slush with a hint of lime for a refreshing summertime treat! As the first watermelon enters the house, there is a rush of excitement.  Never seen out of season here, everyone gathers to fulfill their prolonged craving.  Three short months in New England, that’s pretty much it. I actually had no plan to create slushies today, yet I found myself with a giant half watermelon completely frozen. Because, well… it was in my freezer. Apparently when you send a 9 year old boy down to the basement because the watermelon does not fit in the kitchen refrigerator, you need to give explicit instructions as to where said watermelon should go. Which leads me to my advice regarding this drink.  It will make your life a heck of a lot easier if you cut the watermelon before freezing it.  Just in case you weren’t sure. Watermelons take a really, really long time to defrost. After hacking into that beautiful partially frozen monster, succes

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave this tart.  I went with a super simple diagonal pl

Full of many healthy goodies, peanut butter energy balls are exactly what you want to be snacking on!  Introducing – The easiest snack you’ll ever make!  Made with all healthy ingredients and refined- sugar free.  These energy balls will satisfy all your late afternoon cravings. This same recipe exists already on the blog, deep down in the archives.  Actually one of the first things I ever shared here on The Well Floured Kitchen.  I had made square energy balls, which is still an option.  Yet, most people are looking for round energy balls, so I thought it might be time for an update. I did change one thing about them.  The amount of honey has been reduced to 1/3 a cup.  I was so happy to find that they are still sweet enough to appease my nagging sweet tooth.  Also, did I mention the hint of chocolate?  I used a couple tablespoons of my Navitas cacao powder – my favorite and I highly recommend it.  But these can definitely be made with any cocoa powder you have availa
