I got some good chocolate news in my morning paper: a review of a new cookbook and a recipe.<\/p>\n
In Cook this, not that<\/strong> by Natalie Haughton, Los Angeles Daily News, a review of \u201cCook This, Not That! Kitchen Survival Guide,\u201d by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, Natalie lists the five pantry basics recommended in the book: dark chocolate (at least 60 percent cacao), canola oil, peanut butter, organic buttermilk dressing and organic quinoa.<\/p>\n I haven\u2019t read the book, but any book that recommends 2 of my favorite foods as pantry staples is one I plan to\u00a0check out.<\/p>\n In Comfort foods to brighten \u2018Blue Monday\u2019<\/strong> by Allison Arevalo, Bay Area News Group, Allison suggests a simple recipe for starting the week happy: Chocolate Coconut Pancakes.<\/p>\n Even a non-cook like me is tempted by its simplicity and use of chocolate: Into a batter of one cup of flour, one teaspoon baking powder, one egg and one cup coconut milk, stir in a half cup of dark chocolate chips.<\/p>\n Alas, this surpasses my 3-ingredient limit for cooking, so I\u2019ll have to persuade the resident chef (aka my husband) to make these one dark dreary morning soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to a new book, chocolate belongs in your pantry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,38],"tags":[517,120,6,814,39],"class_list":["post-375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chocolate-news","category-chocolate-recipes","tag-coconut","tag-cookbook","tag-darkchocolate","tag-chocolate-news","tag-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35441,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions\/35441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Good mood food<\/h2>\n
