Sweet of the Week #14i & #15i, Chicory Donuts with Vosges Creole Candy Bar Frosting
This week I used two of the ingredients from this year’s list of 52, Chicory suggested by my husband John and chocolate from Vosges, suggested by my friend Allison.

Sweet of the Week #13i, Durian, Cashew, Bee Pollen, Chocolate Chip cookies
Here’s what I really want to call these cookies: Dairy Free, Gluten-free Durian chip, cashew, bee pollen, chocolate chip cookies made with no refined sugar except in the chocolate chips.

John is a big fan of cheese sticks. Or at least he was when we ate more bar food, deep fried appetizers and late night junk. I can’t remember the last time I saw him order cheese sticks at a restaurant, but it was the first thing he bought at the Iowa State Fair. Now…
Food on a Stick #19, Pecan Nut Roll Dipped in Chocolate on a Stick
The Iowa State Fair claimed to have more than 50 Foods on a Stick. Prior to our trip, I went over the list several times, trying to find foods I could eat that would be both vegetarian and gluten-free. While there weren’t many, I did manage to find a few. One stand had several varieties…
