I was looking for an icing recipe for a long time that used fresh raspberries as well as chocolate. However, no such thing seemed to exist, so I came up with this one! It tastes amazing with chocolate anything, and has a really prominent fruity flavor. So, here's my recipe for chocolate-raspberry icing! I used this icing to make an amazing chocolate cake.

Quick Avocado Smoothie
Great Middle Eastern-style smoothie. You can substitute any milk for the almond milk.
Date Haroset
This date haroset recipe is more of a confection than the typical fruit and nut paste, and very different from the apple-based variety. It can be stored, refrigerated, in a closed container for one week.
Bacon Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free)
This gluten-free breakfast casserole is a simple recipe that's easy to make. Really nice when you have company over in the morning. Get it ready, pop it in the oven and you have time to socialize while it's cooking! I cut this recipe in half, place it on a pie plate, and bake uncovered for 45 minutes for breakfast for a smaller family; it tastes very much like a crustless quiche and my husband loves it! That is how it is shown in the picture.
