OMG, we just discovered these adorable chocolate shoes from Woodhouse Chocolate, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

The solid handmade chocolate shoes are skillfully hand-decorated. Chanel would approve. And at $20/pair, they’re a lot more affordable than her shoes.

The shoes are available in dark, milk and white chocolate (which is colored pink for spring fashion).

If you call today, you can still get chocolate shoes by 2-day air for Mother’s Day: 1.800.966.3468.

COOKBOOK & RECIPES: Latin Cuisine

In her second cookbook, Daisy: Morning Noon and Night:Bringing Your Family Together With Everyday Latin Dishes, chef and television personality Daisy Martinez’s second cookbook offers flavorful Latin recipes that are easy to understand and execute.

Daisy also helps the novice Latin cook by explaining the ingredients used in each recipe—their origins, what you can substitute and where you can find them.

Daisy reminisces about traveling around the world with her family and discovering new foods, as well as finding new spins on dishes she’s made for years—the “everyday” recipes that are in this book. To her, eating should be and is a great adventure as well as an education.

We’ve included two popular recipes that we enjoyed mucho. With great flavors and easy cooking instructions, this is a cookbook that’s sure to please.

TIP OF THE DAY: Egg-Cellent Snack

We love this snack idea from the American Egg Board: Eggs On A Stick.

Place hard-cooked eggs on popsicle sticks and set up a lazy susan with toppings like salsa, flavored salts, hummus, your favorite dips and chopped herbs. It’s creative, healthy fun.

In addition to snack time, serve Eggs On A Stick for breakfast.

RECIPE: Corn Muffins With Chocolate Butter

What’s better than fresh corn muffins, warm from the oven?

It’s easy to bake a batch for Mother’s Day (or any day!). If Mom is a chocolate lover, serve them with chocolate butter.

GOOD CAUSE: Make Bread Art, Help Hungry Children

Bread art: tops in toast. Here, “The Card-
master” by Dante of Providence, Rhode
Island. Make your bread art—at no cost
to you‚—and $1 will be donated to
feed hungry children.

Nearly 17 million children in America—almost one in four—struggle with hunger. Their families have a hard time putting food on the table.

The non-profit Grain Foods Foundation has teamed up with food show host Melissa d’Arabian and Share Our Strength, a non-profit organization hoping to end childhood hunger in America by 2015, to help give hungry children access to nutritious meals.

The Bread Art Project was created in 2009 by the Grain Foods Foundation to help increase awareness of the growing hunger problem in our country. Last year, visitors to BreadArtProject.com created more than 25,000 pieces of Bread Art to raise more than $25,000 for hunger relief. This year, the Foundation hopes to double that amount in its support of Share Our Strength.

How You Can Help @ No Cost!

Now through June 30, 2010, just create a personalized piece of bread art by uploading a favorite drawing or photo, or designing a new one using a digital slice of bread as the canvas. For each piece of bread art created, the Grain Foods Foundation will donate $1 to Share Our Strength.

 

There’s no cost to you—just create a fun piece of bread art. That $1 dollar donated by the Grain Foods Foundation on behalf of your piece can help provide three nutritious meals to a hungry child. Not-for-profit companies know how to stretch a dollar: $25 can help feed one child three healthy meals every day for a month; $100 can help provide 25 children facing hunger backpacks full of healthy food to feed them and their families over the weekend.

  • What are you waiting for? Head to BreadArtProject.com, check out the great bread art already created, and make your own. In addition to helping a good cause, the gallery of bread art is pretty interesting.
