Organic Unsweetened Carob Chips Without Palm Oil, How To Make Carob Chips

Unsweetened carob chips that are dairy-free and without the unhealthy palm oil and soy lecithin additives are hard to come by. The delicious, melt-in-your-mouth kind is also elusive.

Road Trip: Oregon Coast

May 2, 2020 By Stiv 2 Comments

Missing Oregon, its insane gray weather, and all its greenery. I love everything about this Pacific Northwest state.

After a trip this morning to the supermarket, my husband mentioned that it’s been a long time since I made an egg custard pie. With “a long time,” he actually meant just six to seven days ago. So that says a lot about this dessert. It is his favorite. We would usually make this pie…
