enjoyed as my new favorite candy bar - Coconut Secret Almond Bar

Made from Coconut, real chocolate coating (cocoa mass, cocoa butter, coconut crystals), almonds, coconut oil, coconut nectar, vanilla extract, sunflower lecithin. Certified organic. 

This bar has 9 grams of sugar and by random comparison Hershey's Milk Chocolate 31 grams of sugar

Besides Coconut Secret Bars taste way better, and are more satisfying. They are the normal size for a candy bar. I can be happy with half a bar.  And the story sold me the first bar:

It all began in the Spring of 2008, with an overwhelming desire to create a low glycemic, gluten-free snack line that was truly safe for diabetics, using the purest, most organic, least processed ingredients we could find.  A few years earlier both our parents were diagnosed with Diabetes, and we quickly became appalled at what was being passed off as "diabetic-safe" foods, especially in the snack category. . .

and the new favorite crackers I wanted to get from Whole Food:

Organic sunflower seeds, organic carrots, organic flax seed, coconut, organic onion, organic lemon juice, organic garlic, organic raisins, organic dates, celtic sea salt, organic jalapeno, organic lemon grass, organic coriander seed, organic cumin seed, organic ginger, organic turmeric.

They are soooo good.

And while I am writing this I have been enjoying my new favorite kale chips Lydia's Organics, Kale Krunchies, Mega Green - (they have a wonderful tag line "How May We Feed You?" on there website): Ingredients: Kale*, sprouted sunflower seeds*, sprouted pumpkin seeds*, sesame seeds*, cashews*, cold pressed sunflower oil*, spirulina*, himalayan salt*, dill*, cayenne* & . * Organic  while searching for company links I managed to find a yummy looking cooking site with a recipe for kale chips, and baked cherry tomatoes (I have an abundance from the sale on them at Whole Foods): Gluten Free Goddess definitely a food oriented frame of mind. . .   decided must have a few food quotes so just found on Food Quotes: One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. —-Virginia Woolf We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are. —-Adelle Davis The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson (and now hungry for more than a snack . . . )           One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti courtesy of Google translation in the language of my Lithuanian ancestors Geras maistas Gero apetito Gali Jūs turite pakankamai (Good Eating Bon Appetit May You Have Enough )
