Thank God for squash!

And for broccoli



And for tomatoes!

And for blessing my husband with a green thumb! We are so enjoying this season!!
Yes, it is just as rich as it sounds!
This flour-less chocolate cake is so easy and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser!

The Cake:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup grass fed butter
3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl mix the sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla. Slowly stir in the chocolate/butter mixture. Continue stirring constantly until fully blended.
Pour batter into an 8 inch parchment lined round pan or torte dish.
Bake at 300 for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Pop cake out of pan onto a plate.
The Ganache
1/2 cup coconut butter
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt chocolate and coconut butter in a double boiler, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Blend in vanilla.
Pour mixture over cake and spread it out.
Place in freezer until chocolate sets.

I like the way the ganache fills the sides of my torte pan so I use parchment paper to bake the cake,
then flip it out onto a plate, remove the paper and put the cake back into the dish.
( That was a really awkward and confusing sentence to write.)
ENJOY!!
If you know Shane, then you know he is really good at a lot of different things.
But when it comes to gardening he’s become quite the overachiever….
some may even consider him a bit of a show off!!


I really just have to laugh everytime he brings in another basket full.
I have been cooking and eating as much as I can and we still have enough for about 20 more families!

And perhaps I am a little biased, but I sure do think he has the cutest garden assistant ever!
