When I asked for favorite-sauce ideas, an overwhelming number of you said that nothing beats good ole marinara sauce. I couldn’t agree more! And so…
Spiralized zucchini noodles with my favorite tomato sauce
Making a meal of it:
Also on the Menu:
Ricemilk (not in the infamous penguin cup!)
Steamfresh brussels sprouts
Juicy blueberries
And these delicious tempeh strips
But wait; there’s more:
In true chocolate-covered fashion, I ended the meal by breaking a piece off of my #1 true love.
Just look at those smoldering eyes…
70% cocoa is childsplay; I crave the bitterly-potent, velvet-on-your-tongue taste of real deep, dark chocolate.
What about you? What’s your favorite chocolate?
(Assuming you like chocolate, as all people should 
)

I totally just checked out your new products alert page and think it is AWESOME! you have me all excited for Justin’s nut butters new flavors!!! ahhhhhh…thanks!!! Cheap thrills huh?
All favorite is my favorite chocolate! I know that’s a pathetic answer, but it’s the truth. I have NEVER met a chocolate I didn’t like.
What’s that on your plate next to your brussel sprouts? Your blueberries look perfect!
oh. yum. That looks like the most bangin’ meal EVER! I love those tempeh strips!
haha. i totally bought the SAME chocolate bar today!! WOOH! I love melting it for dark choc. strawbs.. or oranges. or other fruit. haha. i just adore it.
i love the really dark stuff too, though im having a hard time handling the 100% dark choco i got lol.
but the 89% dagoba bar i had was pure bliss.
-muffy
The “pasta” dish looks divine and nothing beats a rich, dark chocolate for dessert!
I adore 90% lindt chocolate, 70% is waaay too sweet now.
Stop teasing me and post the giveaway already!!!!!
Seriously though… I am going to win that spiralizer. Back off people! hahahaha
My favorite chocolate used to be milk chocolate…especially Lindt truffles
But now that I’m vegan, I like 70%…I know, I’m a wimp.
I LOVE the chocolate in your picture! I have some in my fridge right now. If I am lucky and can find Lindt dark chocolate and sea salt, I snatch it up. But usually even the Lindt store is out!!
It’s fun everyone who brings me chocolate, brings me the dark one..they don’t know I prefer the ordinary milk chocolate;).
What about the white one, do you like it?
Have you ever tried Theo’s 3400 Phinney chocolate??? It’s so hard to choose.. I’ve really looked the ones I’ve tried so far and saved the wrapping because it’s just so pretty

Adore dark chocolate. The dark the better. I really like Ghiradelli.
Mmm who doesn’t love chocolate?! For cheap good dark chocolate, I like Dove. For the more expensive types, Godiva or Lindt.
ooh, marinara is so good
that dark chocolate looks fabulous! the darker, the better for me.
Dagoba Xocolat, the spicy one with chilies and cinnamon in it, is my all-time favorite! It’s smooth and sweet when you first take a bite, then the heat hits you a moment later! It’s divine.
I love dark chocolate. In fact, I just finished eating some dark chocolate oatmeal. YUM!
That zucchini with red sauce looks fabulous!
<3 jess

Looks so yummy Katie!! Favorite choc? No specific brand but I like it to have low sugar and be about 83%

Hi Katie! Do you serve your spiralized zukes cold or hot? Just curious.
I love dark chocolate, too!
Oh my god… those noodles and that sauce look AMAZING. I NEED a spirializer now now now.
I’ve had 99% dark chocolate. It was amazingly rich but very good. But I much prefer around 85% for my chocolate. Although I’ve had ricemilk milk chocolate and it was a surprisingly good treat.
I don’t like it either very much. Though I don’t doubt you might once surprise us with your own tofu white chocolate
I just tried Purely Decadent Soy Ice Cream – Chocolate Obsession… WOW! Chocolate Ice Cream with swirls of chocolate sauce and chocolate flakes throughout… You should try it!
mmm, marinara does look like the perfect topping
i need to try that chocolate! hmm, pick a fav choc? not sure i could!
Marinara is definitely a go-to classic. I like to make a fresh sauce with ripe tomatoes and lots of basil
My favorite chocolate is the Scharfenberger 82% “extra intense” bittersweet bar.
I am with you….the darker the chocolate, the better! YUM!!
Ever had 99% chocolate? now that IS chocolate!
Although, chocolate orange is very nice too.
i love green & black’s 70% dark chocolate. yes, 70%. sorry to disappoint you by being an amateur, but that’s my favorite!

Kattieeee! I missed you & your blog so much while I was away on vacation!
I’m glad to catch up with everything. Love all the spiral-y action
and all of the creations you’ve made.
My favorite chocolate is anything dark, really. I love chocolate peanut butter, too. Dark Chocolate Dreams, of course. Are there any other nut butters w/chocolate out there that you prefer?
Enjoy your Wednesday!
Love,
Meg
The zucchini pasta looks extra delicious with that lovely marinara sauce!!! Mmmm, I want a bite
I like dark chocolate too, but not too dark. But, I’m not a girl to refuse any type of chocolate!
Dark?? OOOO YEA! Give me the dark stuff and I’ll be one happy woman! (:
When do we get to hear about the great spiralizer giveaway?! I wanna make me some “pasta!” haha!
xo!

I like dark chocolate best, too. There’s a really good 60% bar available around here that tastes almost like dairy chocolate.
I love the super dark stuff too, but my fave is Terra Nostra Ricemilk Choco!
Hahaha! I ADORE your blog title! It reminds me of many a late night conversation with my old flatmate…we discovered it applied to chocolate, beer AND men (well, women to him but you get what I mean)!
Yeah, the darker the better (although 100% was a bit much…unless eaten with a hot chocolate at the same time!). If it’s got mint in it too then I’m yours forever too
Sorry, I haven’t visited and commented in a while…but it means I have lots of posts to catch up on while procrastinating from doing work!!
Katie, my dearest, you must try Taza Chocolate! D-y-n-a-m-i-t-e. It’s stone-ground in a Mexican mill — pretty awesome stuff. Anyway, the highest cocoa content they put in a bar is 85%, but ’tis magical still. I’m with you, though — I love chocolate at its darkest! (But 91% is the highest I’ve had so far!)
Anyway, love the tempeh strips. Well, I haven’t tried them, but they look scrumptious in your perfectly-put-together meal. You eat such yummy things! And you are wonderful!
what? there are people who don’t like chocolate?
crazy!
i’ll take theirs
you have inspired me to purchase a special treat in chocolate at my next grocery store trip
i have only gone that dark once, years ago and hated it
i used to hate dark chocolate at any level, gasp!
i think i’m ready to up my game
YUM! Brussels sprouts and chocolate:)
Which one is your favorite of the marinated tempeh strips? I like the sesame garlic one I think.
Fave chocolate? I’m always a sucker for Ghirardelli or Lindt 70%. However, I am pretty inexperienced in the chocolate world (gasp!). Recommendations?
Ooh, your zucchini spaghetti looks great. As for chocolate… I love any type with a hint of raspberry or caramel in it. Delish.
Great spiralizer ideas! I love my spiralizer, but don’t use it nearly enough (it’s great for carrots, too).
Chocolate–usually I’ll take whatever’s around, but I do like a nice dark chocolate-orange flavor.
i’ve never tried that kind of choc…im more of a carob girl myself.
question. what did you think of those tempeh strips? im not a huge fan of tempeh, but im always looking to find a way to enjoy it since it seem like something i SHOULD like…just wondering. i really only like it when i make it myself and LATHER it in bbq sauce.
To be quite honest, I have a special place in my heart for white chocolate
What can I say? It’s creamy deliciousness! But I can also handle some dark chocolate goodness. I find that it’s not always about the percentage, it really depends on how the chocolate is made as to whether I’ll like it or not.
