Why does chocolate make us feel better? Scientifically, it is likely tryptophan which is an amino acid found in chocolate. It helps the brain make serotonin and makes of feel happy and satisfied. For me, I’m like a chain smoker that can’t stop smoking…only it is eating chocolate. I eat chocolate everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day. Reese’s miniatures frozen are my downfall, but just about any chocolate will do. I’m allergic to coconut & raisins, so any chocolate mixed with either item is off limits. Otherwise, SHOW ME THE CHOCOLATE!
This cake was made by our local groceries’ bakery, Publix. I have had it a time or two or three or four. Publix’s motto is “Where shopping is a pleasure”. It certainly is!!!

Well, the holidays are coming up so there might just be more “evilness” coming from me. I’m a chocoholic and have to eat dessert every single day. I’m so bad! 🙂

I like to bake. Wish I had more time to do it. For Thanksgiving, I will make a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie that is ohhh so good! At Christmas, I bake about 12 dozen different types of cookies to give away to my neighbors and take to family members. We were just given a bunch and I mean a bunch of key limes. I’m going to make a key lime pie next week and still have enough juice to do 3 or 4 more. We froze the juice so we will have it for another day. 🙂

I saw this a few days ago: Chocolate is essential for our survival. Dinosaurs didn’t have chocolate and look what happened to them. 😅

I used to bring chocolate to meetings of leadership at our church. I believe that they greased the skids, even when we had some difficult topics to discuss.

Very good idea! Keeps everyone grounded just a bit. For me, it works as good as any other form of caffeine. I don’t drink coffee and have a coke one in a while. Chocolate every single day! 🙂

Looks like a perfect time, Lisa, to let all your readers know that you were the recipient of a most prestigious, lifetime award.
First Order of the Chocolate
Let all persons know by these presents that the honorable Lisa Coleman Good was inducted into the First Order of the Chocolate on September 18, 2017
After due consideration, it has been deemed that Lisa Coleman Good, based on a long and arduous toil in support of moments when she had to sacrifice life’s most precious food is deserving and worthy to be acclaimed a member in good standing of the First Order of the Chocolate, and as such will abide by the Order’s Eleven Guiding Principles.
1. Some people are chocolate sweet, others are just plain nutty
2. The best things in life are not fat free
3. You never know a person until you’ve both shared a box of chocolates
4. An ounce of Godiva truffles is worth a pound of anything
5. Flowers and champagne set the stage but it’s chocolate that steals the show
6. Don’t cry over spilled milk, unless it’s chocolate milk
7. Blind dates are like chocolate–they quickly disappear
8. Milk chocolate, for all it’s worth
9. True love will remain long after the chocolates have gone–provided there’s another box
10. Money can’t buy you love, but it can buy you chocolate 24-7
11. When all else fails, fudge it!
Let it be known by all that Lisa Coleman Good is now and forever qualified to speak with authority and frequency on and indulge in all matters pertaining to chocolate.
