That site is also a great place to find a very active paleo community. Check out the success stories forum thread for amazing transformations, including my own on page 413.

@Rosemary – you will love the coconut milk, then. Comes in unsweetened, regular and vanilla. Dairy and Nut free, and bakes better than regular milk.

Chocolate — the ONLY mandatory food group!

I’d give up many other things, if necessary, before giving up chocolate. It’s a need, not a want

@Rosemary

I live in Toronto and I buy it at No Frills. The box is kinda green in colouring. I hope you can find it!

Any idea if there is a way to do this without a microwave? I am living without one at home as my last one blew up a few years ago and the only thing I really missed was popcorn (so got a stovetop popper). Plus I have very little counter space so not getting one in the foreseeable future.

Gail,
What perfect timing! I just posted about a shortage of chocolate during my fiscal fast this past week. I think I may have to try out this recipe! !

You are so right Gail – when you want chocolate, nothing else will do! I have run out to the store late at night to buy some when I just had to have it. Will keep the microwave mug cake recipe on hand for those emergency situations.

Thanks!

BTW – Gail I was wondering if you’ve ever worked with a family who has dietary concerns like mine or those who have high priced medications they’re on on a regular basis and how you put that into the budget without blowing that percentage of cost ratio. It’s expensive to live nowdays when you can’t eat the normal cheaper foods and have to take medications on a regular basis.

mmmm…vegan chocolatey goodness My two fave books for vegan desserts are Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar–both discuss substituting different flours too.
Damn, now I’m hungry

Anyone know the names of any vegan cook books which don’t have regular flour used in recipes? I find vegan cookbooks but have regular flour and have tried substituting corn or rice flour and for obvious reasons the recipes don’t brown they get hard and are dry.

@casey – I’ve had the Gluteno cereal we don’t have the box mixes in the grocery store yet. Will keep my eyes open.

@Karen – I have an almond allergy thus the rice milk….

Skinny Bitch has a vegan cookbook I’d like to buy but the problem is they quote all American food store chains to buy the ingredients….need a Canadian version.
