My blog is about to change…

Keep the healthy desserts coming! LOVE them!
Would love to see savory recipes too. I’m sure you eat really healthy all around so it’d be cool to see healthy savory dishes paired with a healthy dessert of yours 🙂

Savory would be wonderful!

Savory posts please! Or even, what you eat (besides all the chocolate!).

I would really enjoy more savory recipes in addition to all your yummy desserts–and, um, sweet potato chili (along with all things sweet potato, squash, etc.) is a winner. I had this fantastic African peanut soup a while back…you should do a soup with some sort of peanut component. Yum.

Whenever I want a dessert, I usually come to your blog because your recipes are amazing! But a few savory ones would be great to see too- because I’m sure they’re just as amazing!

Savory recipes! I made your Christmas casserole (I think that’s what you called it) and it was a hit at Thanksgiving. I was excited it wasn’t totally consumed because that meant leftovers for me! 🙂

I’d also love food photography tips. You do a great shop of setting up your food for shoots.

I love your blog Katie! I’d definitely love to see some more savory recipes. Your sweet ones are so easy and tasty that I can imagine that your savory ones would be more of the same!!!

And, of course, chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate!!!!

More personal posts would be cool! But obviously keep the chocolate and healthy dessert recipes coming – I always love them 🙂

I love your blog! And I’d love to see some more savory recipes. All of your desserts are so easy and tasty that I’m sure that your other recipes are more of the same!

And, of course, chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate!!

More savory, more dessert, more CHOCOLATE!!! 😀 But really everything you post is wonderful so I’m sure whatever you do will be a joy to read! Oh and I’m making chocolate truffles today – just thought of you! 🙂

Keep the chocolate recipes coming!!! Just came across your blog. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes!

more savory recipes and personal posts please 🙂

I’m new to vegetarian and vegan cooking, and I noticed my sugar intake going waaaaaay up, so as much as I love your sweet recipes (especially chocolate), I’d love to see some more savory stuff.

I am about to be so annoying. But I think adding more of each of those different categories would be great! haha I love it all!

I’d love to see some more of the tips for bloggers and photo tips! You’re my go to girl for desserts so while I wouldn’t mind (in fact, I’d still enjoy) savory recipes, I love the sweet ones too 🙂

Savory!!!!

I’d love to see more savory recipes & read more personal posts from you! Never tire of the chocolate though. 😉

I’d love to see savory posts! It’s great to get a full spectrum view of your diet!

Personally, I don’t mind a new dessert (or any kind of) recipe every day. I would, however, like some food photography tips (because your pictures are just plain amazing). Thanks..love this blog!

a few savory posts thrown in would be good since I know that would be vegan.
I don’t think you need guest posts, you are entertaining enough!

I would love some healthy savory recipes! I’m not too interested in blogging tips though.

I’d love to see more savory recipe posts. I really love all the chocolate posts (they are so easy AND delicious) but i’m also curious about what else you think is fabuous!!
I also think it would be fun to have more personal posts. What you’ve shraed already has been so wonderful, helpful and inspiring (I really love your tips for avoidng the winter/holiday blues). I think we’d love to read any and everything you can throw at us! Thank you!!

Ohh I love your blog as-is! But I’d also love to see some savory posts and some personal posts!!

I love how simple and approachable your dessert recipes are! I’d love to see the same approach for savory meals. More puppy stories would be wonderful… and perhaps something a little juicy? Young vegan on a quest for love? 😉

I would love to see more savory recipes & food photography tips! 🙂

Beautiful Miss Katie, follow your heart. I absolutely love your blog and as long as you keep posting what your [big] heart desires I have a feeling your readers will be satisfied. No matter what, I will be here to support you! You give me so much hope – that is chocolate covered, of course!

One last thing, have you ever thought of or made chocolate chili? Thats one entree I’ve been dreaming of lately 🙂

Definitely more chocolate. 🙂 But I’d love to see what else you have up your sleeve… savory, side dishes, etc. And I love to follow people so personal posts too. xo

Hi!! I just found your blog a few days ago and I am in LOVE!!! I’m always doing my best to eat healthy and lose some weight, so I totally love all your dessert, cookie, cakes, etc recipes that are healthy (and guilt free) and still taste awesome!! I made your deep dish cookie pie for my new years eve party and it was a HUGE hit!!! No one even knew I was helping them get healthier before the new year even started 😉 all that to say, PLEASE keep the chocolate and sweet recipes coming!! And thanks so much for everything you’ve already shared with us!

Only more guest posts please!
I like personal posts if the story comes with a recipe or something, not just random drivel.

Tomorrow I’d like sweet please!!!!

I like your blog just the way it is! I enjoy knowing that every single post is a tasty dessert, and I love trying them out at home. I use other sources for savory recipes…and I always skip past the personal stuff on blogs. Just meat and potatoes, please. Or chocolate and sugar! 🙂

Savory recipes! Chocolate recipes! Savory chocolate recipes? No, scratch that last one 🙂

And for tom.? Savory please! 🙂

Stay true to yourself and post whatever you want; be it a million dessert recipes or a savory recipe every now and then.

One more thought, for us on WW, nutritional info would be great to help figure out points!

I’m an active follower of your site but never comment. I only subscribed so I can put in my 2 little cents. Personally, I think your healthy chocolate and other dessert recipes is what makes this site UNIQUE. I think the uniqueness of those recipes in addition to your creative writing has what made this site blossom and grow with popularity. Imho, diluting a blog called chocolatecoveredkatie with savory recipes and too much of anything else runs the risk of making it just another blog that is sort of unique-ish but…….well, I’m sure you get what I’m saying. So, as you requested – here are my votes.
Savory recipes – LESS
Guest posts – kept to a minimum (we want to read you!)
Tips for bloggers – don’t care but just keep them out of my view of the chocolate!! 😉
Food photography – same as above
Personal posts – eh, OK, I guess it also depends on what you’re posting about
Chocolate posts – HA! very funny! :))

I would love to see more savory posts as well as personal ones–it’s nice to get to know the blogger!

So naturally my vote for tomorrow is a savory post!

Thanks for what you do!

I love all the sweet chocolate treats, but I would also like to see more savory!

More savory please! I make your Fall’s Favorite Curry all.the.time. I miss your veggie meals. 🙂

ALL of the suggestions would be great! Photog tips are great and, well, no better choco recipes are found anywhere else! And who doesnt love to hear about your personal life lol I’ll take it all Katie, I’m not greedy or anything lol

I LOVE all your sweet recipes, but I’d also enjoy any others you have to offer! I’d also love some blogger tips!

More Savory Recipes would be nice!! 🙂

I would love to see savory dishes mixed in. I also like reading personal posts as well. I am a baker and blogger as well, so I love to hear what people like me are up to, how they feel about things, etc. And maybe some photography posts. That is one thing I need to work on for my blog (taking better pictures!)

Honestly, I would love to see all of the bullet points listed! I lovelovelove your dessert recipes, but I bet you make amazing savoury dishes, too. Photography tips would be awesome, too. It’s something I’ve been trying to get better at. Whether your blog changes or stays the same, this reader isn’t going anywhere 😉

Your dessert are FAB! I would love to see more savory recipes, because I’m sure they’re equally fantastic. If my family is skeptical, I just tell them it’s a CCK recipe and they go for it. I would LOVE to get some CCK healthy dinners into them before the amazing desserts. 😉

More savory! Keep up the good work! You are inspirational!!

Love the sweet recipes that are both vegan and sugar free, especially using dates and bananas in recipes as the sweetener – keep them coming. This is why I visit CCK.

more savory recipes ….and also some healthy dessert recipes

savory posts and personal posts please. I’m not a huge guest post person. If I want to read someone else’s blog I go there ya know. When I come here it’s because I want to read what you have to say.

I would love to see savory recipes, definitely photography tips, and personal posts would be awesome too:)

Hi Katie, I found your awesome blog few weeks ago and been following you since then. Though, this is my maiden comment. Sorry for being silent reader 😉

Yes, I read many blogs around and eventually found that many people are very intriguing (in good way) in your personal blogs and stories. 🙂 I’m not sure I could pick some courage to write up and share about my some personal things on my blog.

Anyway, it would be great if you can post more savoury recipes + personal talks+chocolatey things (of course)+the secret of getting lots of lovely comments with love on your each post. 🙂

Just found your blog and I really like it. I want to try so many of your recipes that I don’t know where to start 😀

I would like to see more savory, photography, and personal posts. And I vote for a savory recipe tomorrow 🙂

I’d like more personal posts. 🙂

(I personally don’t like guest posts unless it’s something really awesome.)

Your blog has become one of my favorite websites… no really, I’m serious. Between my 14 year old daughter becoming a vegetarian recently and my need to simply create a healthier household, your blog has been an amazing source of inspiration and culinary delight. What do I want more of? EVERYTHING! I can’t really say any of those items on the list would not be of interest to me.

Though, I do have one small request to make regarding the website. Everytime I click a new page opens and I end up with 20 pages open fairly quickly (ok, so maybe your bog is currently a bit of an addiction). Any chance it could get changed to all stay on the same page?

I REALLY like the bean based dessert/snack recipes because I am trying to reduce the amount of grains in my family’s diet and it’s so awesome to have increased protein & nutrition in treats! LOVE your recipes in general, but these are my favorite.
Would enjoy seeing what savory things you have to share too, as well as any cooking tips you may have we can learn from!

I am not a blogger so I definitely enjoy the recipe posts more than food photography tips (though I do enjoy looking at the pictures!). I love savory and sweet recipes, for both desserts and meals. Just keep on cooking and baking (and sharing), and I’ll be happy!

Katie,

I love your posts! I would love to see anything you have to offer. I am always looking for healthy food for me and my family!

Post what you love and what you’re passionate about and if people like it, great. And if they don’t, they can move on 🙂

That’s the mentality I have tried to take…easier said than done sometimes though!

Katie, I would love to see more personal post and food photography tips! Definitely keep the sweet recipes coming though! Speaking of that, I have a batch of your cookie dough in the fridge right now that’s calling my name 🙂

Just discovered your blog and am loving it! My vote is recipes recipes recipes!

PS if you (even self published) a cook book …with pictures btw… I’d buy it for sure!

I pretty much love reading about everything – but I love the sweet dessert recipes. And the more chocolate the better!

Love your blog all around, keep the healthy desserts coming, so when i have dessert i dont feel the guilt! but I would love to see some guest posts and some savory recipes as well!! Keep up the awesome job!!

I call for more savory recipes!

I must admit I haven’t had time to read other readers’ comments, so it is quite likely that I’m about to mention things that have been listed 200x already…forgive me! Also, because there are already 293 other comments, I’ll keep it relatively short:

Do you know how many blogs there are out there? Do you know why yours is awesome, Katie? Because it is unique, because it is about healthy desserts, and because it is so totally YOU, that’s why. That being said, just keep doin’ what you’re doin’, girl! Savory recipes? Sure, definitely, send ’em whenever you want, but I wouldn’t stress about meeting some sort of prescribed ratio of savory-to-sweet recipes. What I DON’T want is the CCK blog to turn into every other blog I read, about a girl who writes down everything she eats during the day, how to take pretty pictures (which you’re great at, don’t get me wrong!), how to be a blogger, etc., or [most importantly] a blog with posts written by people other than you!

BUT, we all realize you need a break and certainly don’t want you to burn out from doing the same thing day in and day out, so when it comes down to it, just do whatever works for you. Don’t worry, I’m sure we readers will find a way to deal with it : )

hehe, well, not so short, afterall. woops! Happy New Year!

I love your blog just the way it is! Mostly desserts with an occasional “other” tossed in! 🙂 keep up the great work!

I’m thinking more savory recipes…

I love the idea to add more savory recipes. I have really enjoyed your dessert recipes, I can only imagine what you will cook up with hearty food. Thank you for all that you share through this fabulous blog!

I love all that you post. Your blog is unique in the respect that it’s harder to find really tasty
deserts that are clean (healthy) and you deliver that faithfully. I agree I would like to see a few more savory dishes for sure. I don’t mind the other types of post, but I’m really here for the food ;-D.

Hi there Katie!

Oh you are so amazing at sweet recipes! I would always love a dessert from you! Your blog is just so perfect! I always look to see how you do something blog-related, when I am deciding how I might do it! So I suppose more blogger tips would also be awesome! You just have such an amazing talent, and it seems love for what you do (we have that in common, along with running!)! I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again, you are sure to write many a cookbook someday!…best sellers even I bet! You have all the goods right here – just’ll just put it all together in a new kind of package! I feel like a stalker about you – I am always checking for new posts, and I tell so many people about you! You’re just great Katie! Keep up the good work – you’re leading people to health in such a yummy-chocolatey way! Have a good night!

Hi Katie
I love your site however havent made any recipes yet id like more on banana or sweet potato variety breads or others would be nice. also wish there were step by steps on some.
thank you

I miss your personal posts! Please bring those back. And I like the occasional savory recipe as well. Of course I love the chocolate recipes. 🙂

Katie, it’s so sweet of you to take our opinions into accounts.

I am looking forward to more desserts – probably some non-chocolate ones. I’ve made your ultimate chocolate fudge pie twice with great success! everyone loves it!

I’d love more breakfast ideas! I’m NOT like you… i LOVE sugar. but diabetes runs in my family, and MY new year’s resolution involves not turning into a statistic! I really appreciate your blog, and i have “pinned” almost everything i have found of yours already, and just signed up for email messages of new recipes. My hardest meal of the day by far, though, is figuring out a healthy breakfast… chocolate or not! But please…don’t give up the chocolate ones. You have helped my business out with your advice and recipes already! I own Heffycakes.com (a local, small cake decorating business) and it seems more and more people are developing new allergies, cutting out sugar, or just want new cake recipes. I have used a few of your tips/tricks with garbanzo beans, and i’m super impressed! Keep ’em coming!!! (and thanks!)

Savory, personal, and guest posts sound awesome! I’d be interested to see who you invite to do guest posts. Love your blog!

just been reading all these comments. I love the fact that you throw the options out to your readers, its so considerate and i haven’t seen any other bloggers give this level of open consideration!

You have been a big inspiration to me in building my own blog and i agree with the general consensus that cake should be your focus but that a few savouries (say 20%) would help to broaden the balance, but then again i guess that’s the sort of thing i’m aiming at with mine.

personally i’m not a huge fan of guest posts. blog and photography tips would be interesting to me- like one other reader mentioned i’d be interested to know how you’ve been able to make this your full time job!

I love reading personal thoughts but i prefer this to be as part of your recipe posts and not a dedicated posts.

thank you for continuing to inspire us all!

It seems like a majority of blogs do mostly savory + some sweet. Since you’re CCK, maybe you could try mostly sweet + some savory?

More personal posts would be fun too!

At the end of the day though, it’s up to you 🙂

Hi!
It’s the first time I comment as well, but I haven’t been a follower for a long time so maybe it can’t be considered a big fault (:
even though I share with you the same passionate feeling toward desserts, and chocolate in particular (I eat chocolate 4-5 times a week), I’d like to se some more savoury recipes… because after all I don’t eat desserts every day, but I DO eat 14 meals per week 😉
But please don’t stop posting dessert posts, they are so yummy and smart!!
And also your personal post are nice to read 🙂

Ok I see I wasn’t very helpful.. so I will summarize my thoughts and say that, above all, I’d like to see some more savoury posts, but please keep the “sweet” ones coming! 😀

I hope you’re spending in the best ways these first days of the year…. and please keep on posting baby!
Thanks again for the time you spend on this blog 🙂
Gi

ps: a question: do you even eat fruit beside bananas and berries? xD

pps: I like a lot the “tips posts”, too, but unfortunately I don’t run a blog so I can’t take advantage of them… but I happily read them as personal posts, so a few more of them would be appreciated as well!

Katie – I just stumbled upon your blog for the first time today after seeing a link from Pinterest.

OMG. I am ashamed and disappointed that it took me this long to find.. I can honestly say that this is the best recipe blog I have seen. This is so amazing! I’ve already made a huge grocery list tonight for things to make on the weekend – luckily we have a dinner party or else I’d be eating it all.

Keep up the good work – more savory recipe posts are always great, as are your personal ones.

Thank you for magnifying my love of chocolates!!

I agree with all the comments about more savory recipies. While all the desserts look amazing, believe it or not, I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, and neither does my boyfriend. The Sweet Potato Chili posted today is actually one of the first recipies that I felt the need to run out and try right away, so I’d say that’s a pretty strong argument for more savory!

(Don’t get me wrong, the desserts all look amazing too, but again, not much sweet tooth. I love the angle that the desserts are generally healthy, and I do really like anything that is a dessert-for-one).

Thanks!

Hi Katie,

Love your site and that you are willing to mark recipes for those of us with some food allergies/issues. I was wondering if you’d consider working with coconut flour? Its a hard one to figure out even though I used to be quite a baker, now that I have had to eliminate most grains its one of the few flours I can use! Otherwise keep on with the chocolate…they’ll have to pry that food out of my hands!

I love your sweets recipes, the sugar free, the healthy, and now, seeing your sweet potato chili with black beans, I will have to try that as well. I came to your site on a hunt for healthier chocolate recipes. You are saving me from eating horrible, junky food. I can eat your recipes and feel good inside and out! Thanks for sharing!

i love ur desserts but would love to see some savory recipes also. Maybe u have some good ideas on combining sweet savory dishes together like chocolate chili mmmmmmmm. I know you dont eat eggs but i always loved the combination of a fried egg with jam and sun butter… i just loved the sweet savory combo so maybe something like that. Also posts about other things then food would be fun. Maybe once a week u snap pictures of ur daily eats and we can see all of is instead of just the treats.

Sorry to arrive late to the commenting party! 🙂
Here’s my two cents:
Savory recipes – same amount
Guest posts – less
Posts with Tips for Bloggers – same amount
Food photography tips – less
Personal posts (as opposed to just recipes) – same amount
Chocolate recipes – MORE

I love the dessert posts, but I would welcome more savory posts, and also a chance to get to know you and your life better would be great too! =]

yes i would definitely love to see some savoury recipes!

I love your blog and all the healthy dessert recipes. But i think it would be so much better with savory recipes as well. Also, personal and guest posts would be great too. Were here to read about your recipes and YOU. With out those kinds of posts its just a boring recipe blog. I personally think photography tips would be boring.. were here for the food, your life, and that fun stuff. If people want advice on photography theirs plenty of blog dedicated to just that.

I love that this is a place I can come to for tasty and healthful desserts – I hope it stays with a sweeties focus =) because you are chocolate covered and it makes you special from the others – No one else in the blogosphere does healthy and chocolate combined like you! Not a soul.

I love the sweet dishes. I follow a lot of other blogs that are focused on savory dishes and I love chocolate so coming here just makes me super happy… There is always something to make from your blog and it is always amazing. Thank you so much for giving us healthy options for sweet treats! x

More savory recipes please!!!! and of course more chocolate 😉

I would love a savory recipe from time to time and photography tips 🙂 Keep up the great work! Love your reipes!

I LOVE your desserts – duh – but it would be sweet to mix it up with some savory recipes. As someone else mentioned, if we already enjoy your blog then we’ll enjoy what you create – whether you welcome a guest blogger or share things from time to time. I personally enjoy getting to know the person behind the writing!
