Super Natural Cooking: Five Delicious Ways to Incorporate Whole and Natural Foods into Your Cooking
By Heidi Swanson
Celestial Arts - 2007
Do-It-Yourself Power Bars : page 47
I love these! I switched up the fruit, using apricots rather than cranberries, coconut sugar, and Rice Crispy's instead of the brown rice cereal (all I could find was "puffed"). They hold together better after some time in the fridge.

Golden-Crusted Brussels Sprouts : page 151
Let me start by saying I would have never bought brussels sprouts :(, but when they showed up in my CSA basket I turned to someone I could trust to handle this tricky little cabbage. As usual Heidi kept it simple, coaxing good flavor out of this notorious vegetable.

Lime-Bathed Peanut Salad : page 136
This had great flavor and crunch! Next time I may add a little cayenne for kick. Nice Mexican meal side.

Mesquite Chocolate Chip Cookies : page 182
Awesome! The oatmeals gives them nice chew and the mesquite flour gives a wonderful (almost chocolatey) flavor. I added walnuts - yum, yum.

This is a simple dish and very good as written but I found myself making variations - stirring in oven roasted tomatoes, spicy pesto and grilled red onions.

Spiced Caramel Corn : page 174
YUM! I did not have the rice syrup and used Barley Malt Syrup instead - definitely a more assertive flavor (I used less than the 1/2 cup) but delicious none the less. Faintly reminiscent of Cracker Jacks (probably due to the substitution). Used almonds, peanuts and cashews. It's not easy, but wait for the caramel corn to cool a bit - it gets "drier" and less sticky and the spices really come through. Will experiment with other spices and nuts in the near future.
