It’s called brewing it myself… …with the coffee pot I brought with me. With the local, Dutch coffee. This stuff is seriously the best coffee I have ever drank!!!!! And I’m an addict. And it’s cheap. And I hate to happily say that it leaves Starbuck’s, Peet’s, and random specialty, organic, fair-trade brews in the dust. And I drank up in these re-useable mugs I purchased along with the 50 cent bowls I mentioned yesterday, I’m totally in business now! But I digress…. ….Because it’s time for me to open the floor to Katie, a sweetheart, a total doll, just a lovely girl. If you didn’t know better, you’d think she was Chocolate-Covered because she’s so sweet! ————————————————————————————————————– Hi to all the other readers of Averie’s awesome bloggie! . My name is Katie, and I write a blog called Chocolate-Covered Katie. First of all, a huge “thank you” is in order for Averie, yogi extraordinaire and all-around amazing girl, for letting me do a guest post. After deliberating for quite a while, I finally decided on a subject for my guest post. I immediately knew what I wanted to write about: Fudge Babies, of course! . For everyone who hasn’t read my blog, I thought I’d start out with an introduction as to what fudge babies are. After that, you get to be the first to meet the newest member of the Fudge Baby clan: Tiramisu Baby :) .. . The Original Babies It all began with some walnuts, dates, a little cocoa powder… (Above, the original Fudge Babies) At first, the fudgies enjoyed a quiet nursery all to themselves. But it wasn’t long before many screaming brothers and sisters started popping out. Nowadays, the nursery is quite crowded (not to mention loud). . . Babies in the Nursery Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Babies .. . Peanut Butter Cup Babies (or chocolate pb cup babies) .. . Cashew Cookie Babies (in bar form) . . Pumpkin Pie Babies . . Mounds Bar Babies (a.k.a. Raw Mounds Bars) . . . The easiest-ever Raw Macaroons .. .. . Hot Chocolate fudge babies (in pb-sandwich form) . Upcoming Births:
Santa Babies (due date: December, 2009) Butterfinger Babies (due date: early 2010) Sex Bomb Babies (due-date unknown) Snickerdoodle Babies (due in early spring)

Tip of the Day: And The Actor’s Diet has a Give Away I also wanted to take a minute to mention that my friend Gena of Choosing Raw is bringing awareness to a 10-day Cleanse Program she’s doing with the ladies of Spark! Wellness in January. They’re offering three nourishing, reasonable, ten-day dietary program that will help instill new and improved eating habits for 2010 and beyond. I have never felt the need to “cleanse” so cannot speak from personal experience, but if you’re feeling like you want to jump start your transition to a high raw all vegan diet, or maybe you have other reasons why you believe a cleanse would help you, then jump on this. Gena’s offering a special savings now: The cleanse will last from January 18-27. Regular cost is $60; people who sign up before 12/31 get $10 off; people who sign up with a friend each get $5 off. Bloggers who participate in the cleanse and mention it on their blog receive $10 off. Holistic Health practitioners receive $10 off.
