Its Excellence Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa had cadmium. Lindt is trying to settle a class action lawsuit now.

Lindt is not the only chocolate company with problems, but I won't be eating their chocolates any time soon. I really want to see that CR report.

And I thought chocolate was a safe option since no recalls for listeria, salmonella, or E.coli. I would often joke when reading about another recall on veggies that chocolate or cake don't seem to be subjects of recalls. But alas, that bubble has burst. This article from consumer reports lists all the chocolate companies who make unsafe chocolate, especially dark chocolate. I'm crying a little bit.

It’s my daughter’s birthday and she wanted margerita pizza.

She’s a simple kind of girl….

Cin, thank you so much for finding that article. I'm looking for some Ghirardelli dark chocolate now, even though it's only described as "safer". I'll just have to save it for special occasions.

Googled it. Those potatoes sound so good!

Last night we had early christmas with my nephews and Solstice with my kiddo and their partner. I baked brie wheels in puffed pastry topped with a cranberry balsamic reduction, baguette, roasted veggies, and french fries that my nephews had requested.
