Extreme Makeover, Chocolate Edition

May 13, 2009
by Chocolate-Covered Katie

Well, maybe it’s not so extreme. 

But I changed the header on the blog; I thought the words chocolate-covered deserved to be more prominent.  After all, what’s better than chocolate?

.

(Obvious answer: Nothing!) 

So what do you think of the new header?  I might change it up yet again… maybe it needs a picture of some actual chocolate? 

Suggestions??? :)

And speaking of chocolate, Vegan Chocolate Mousse is back on the loose!

Also, a big “thanks” goes out to Sarah for letting me know that I put up the wrong link for the Fiesta Sweet Potato Burritos in my last post

The actual recipe for the burritos can be found here

Wishing you all a happy, chocolate-filled day!

    The new header is so awesome! If you have time one day, could you show me how to make one? I can’t seem to figure it out because my pictures always stretch and look funny =/

    Yes, yes, actual chocolate in the banner would be awesome (you know, so I could reach into my computer screen, grab some and eat it)! Seriously though, it’s cool but some chocolate in the picture would be even cooler!

    okay so i know i’m commenting on a post that has nothing to do with kamut flakes, but there’s never a bad time to bring up the topic of delicious grains, right?
    i asked you a little while ago about kamut flakes, and about how my whole foods doesn’t carry them. i just realized that you can order them right off eden’s website! along with all their other yummy products! here’s the link to the grains page:
    http://www.edenfoods.com/store/index.php?cPath=87
    you might already be aware of this, but i thought i would tell you anyway in case you aren’t. i’m sure you probably get a lot of questions about where to buy kamut flakes. now you can tell people that they can order them if they can’t find them anywhere ;-)

    The new header is AWESOME!

  24. May 14, 2009 1:19 am

    JB,
    Thanks :)

    I’m lucky enough to be able to find the kamut flakes, but the next time someone asks me (and they ask a lot!), I’ll definitely give them your link. Thank you so much!

    I love the new design … any header with ya gorgie face and chocolate on it will be AWESOME in my mind :D Ooo maybe you can make the words sorta ‘chocolate colored? and sorta ooey gooey in style??) HA, I’m sure you’ll come up with something better !!

  26. May 14, 2009 12:01 pm

    The new header’s adorable! Why not keep this one for a while–you can always change it up later on if you feel like it!

  27. May 14, 2009 12:08 pm

    Love the header! It looks really good :)

  28. May 14, 2009 1:26 pm

    The new header looks great, however, I think it would look even better with some chocolate. Maybe make the words chocolate colored or something?!
