If ever there was a dessert that you could feel good about eating, this is it. Made only from wholesome, healthy fat ingredients, these intensely rich frozen fudgesicles also provide collagen and antioxidants with every lick. Dark chocolate and PRIMAL KITCHEN Collagen Fuel are whisked into coconut oil, coconut milk and macadamia butter, then frozen. These are fat bombs on a stick, and unbelievably good.

Dense and chewy like regular fudgesicles, but much less sweet, these bars are for dark chocolate and coconut lovers. Easy to make, and easy to love, they’re a frozen treat you can enjoy all summer.

Servings: 6 Fudgsicles

Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes, plus a few hours to freeze

Ingredients

• ½ cup melted coconut oil (120 ml)
• 2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces (60 g)
• ¾ cup canned, full-fat coconut milk (180 ml)
• 1 scoop Primal Kitchen Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel (18 g)
• ½ cup macadamia butter* (130 g)

Instructions

*To make macadamia butter, simply blend raw or roasted unsalted macadamia nuts in a food processor until very smooth.

Combine coconut oil and dark chocolate in a medium bowl. Microwave in 15 seconds intervals, stopping to stir each time, until chocolate is melted. Stir vigorously to combine the chocolate and coconut oil.

Whisk in coconut milk, Primal Fuel and macadamia butter until smooth.

Pour the liquid into popsicle molds. Freeze until solid.

Tomatoes are disgusting — except for when they’re not. Yes, I realize how ridiculous that sounds, but I stand by these statements. There’s a reason kids tend to love pizza but hate tomato sauce on pasta: Because kids are smarter than we give them credit for and onto the sneaky games tomatoes like to play with our tastebuds!

Here are my most ridiculous rules for eating tomatoes. You should adopt them for yourself. Or add your own tomato rules at the bottom of this post — c’mon, you know you have some!

At age 42, I whittled my life to nine boxes to cram in a friend’s basement. The worst part was selling the kitchen gear I’d amassed over 25 years of being a food nerd. From my tagine to a Thai mortar and pestle to unusual utensils, it was a gut-wrenching lesson in how much cooking tools are part of how I feed my soul. But in my new nomadic life, I didn’t have space for non-essential ephemera, so into someone else’s home it all went — save for a few select items.

These days, going gluten-free is something of a fashion statement.

Do you hear that? That soft, but forceful whooshing sound? It’s the sound of summer coming to a close. You might be sitting beachside this weekend with a cold beverage, but Starbucks has other plans that involve cable knit sweaters and cozy nights by the fire. It might only be the second week of August, but this week the coffee giant announced that two new Pumpkin Spice Latte products would be hitting grocery shelves near you.
