This is what I hoped would come of the post. You can do it Emily! <br /><br />You know, there was one woman who hiked the AT about 10 years ago, and arranged to have chunks of energy shipped to coops along the way for her to pick up. Pretty clever way, we think, to always have chunks of energy on hand.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06282527178843315553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-72337243888951327422011-04-14T21:13:07.795-04:002011-04-14T21:13:07.795-04:00i&#39;m so inspired by this! i want to hike the Applachian trail with Chunks of Energy in my bag, too! <br /><br />emilyemilyhttp://tumblr.com/saucefarmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-25479618539275300112010-10-15T14:27:57.202-04:002010-10-15T14:27:57.202-04:00I worked at my school&#39;s food co-op for 4 years selling and enjoying chunks of energy. It was always fun to make mixes and especially when we got new customers who developed a favorite flavor.<br /><br />I suggest a pbj flavor <br />or abj<br />which is a nut butter and cranberry/berry flavor<br /><br />Thanks!sammituckhttp://stuckonpeacelovelife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-78262182985889213822009-08-24T22:08:11.365-04:002009-08-24T22:08:11.365-04:00Thank you for the shout-out!

Love that tart, delightful zinginess!<BR/><BR/>I am a holistic clinical nutritionist with a specialty in raw food/living food nutrition and am always looking for healthy raw treats to recommend to my clients. <BR/><BR/>The Raw Cacao Goji was already a top favorite, and now this new flavor comes along, adding a whole new flavor dimension! Both varieties are ideal to enjoy in many ways: along with bananas for a fulfilling raw breakfast, as a between-meal snack with tea, and also as the perfect dessert after a big raw vegetable salad with avocado meal.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for developing these amazing recipes! I feel so lucky to have Dancing Star as a neighbor in the Pioneer Valley - healthy, natural, raw AND local! It doesn't get better than that!<BR/><BR/>In radiant health,<BR/>Diana :-)<BR/><BR/>http://eat2evolve.blogspot.comDiana Allen, MS, CNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17789950503364083838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-43352690254599995602008-08-20T16:21:00.000-04:002008-08-20T16:21:00.000-04:00I really enjoy the Chunks of Energy that you make, particularly because some of them are both ORGANIC and VEGAN! Which I am!!! Plus, with all those goodies crammed into handy-dandy bite-sized pieces, they are easy to eat and enjoy. <BR/><BR/>I hope you keep making more good chunks, and definitely more 100% organic and vegan options. They do a body and the Earth good.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/>Justin Van Kleeck<BR/>http://greenoptions.com/author/jsvk13Justin Van Kleeckhttp://jsvk13.myopenid.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-59988379797068598242008-03-24T11:30:00.000-04:002008-03-24T11:30:00.000-04:00wow, okay. that last comment was messed up. so much for last minute edits during a meeting.<BR/><BR/>originally it was pancakes are frickin awesome, and so are COE ;)<BR/><BR/>take care!ReAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542185757435704729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-849936067066816352008-03-24T11:11:00.000-04:002008-03-24T11:11:00.000-04:00Hi ReAnn,<BR/>I am so glad to know that someone is reading the blog! As the momentum of the semester acts, I have less to no time to post, and no response so I didn't prioritize it. I am swamped with work but you will be the catalyst for continuing. <BR/>I have a paper due tomorrow so this is a wicked quick response, but i DO want to respond because you seem to get how my dad is a chunk of energy himself. (In fact, I am seeing the whole world as chunks of energy dancing around and in each other.) <BR/>About local food in general: YES! Since the whole point of local food is to be specific to the region, I"ll pass on some info about localvorism in Minneapolis. My dear friend from the student-run organic produce distributor (aka Organic Campus) at McGill University is now graduated and doing an internship in her hometown of St. Paul. From what I understand, she's working on a fair/festival/farmer's market that's focused on getting to know the dirty (in the MOST positive sense of the word) work (and play) of being a farmer. I'm not sure when it is, but Georgia, if you read this, post details!<BR/>Also, since it seems like you dig Grub, I will see if i can attach a book review that I just submitted for a "Global Perspectives of Food" course.<BR/>I will respond to your other comments the next time i need a break from my art history paper (about why craft must be local, naturally)...<BR/>Happy Equinox!Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06282527178843315553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-11929357707057079472008-03-24T10:47:00.000-04:002008-03-24T10:47:00.000-04:00nothing much to add except that the lemon corn blueberry waffles are frickin amazing. have you tried the cashew butter cardamom cupcakes? i suggested a COE flavor like this.. we'll see what comes of it. <BR/><BR/>so are chunks of energy.. wish we could get ginger apricot in our area:)ReAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542185757435704729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-16874830012361865952008-03-13T00:12:00.000-04:002008-03-13T00:12:00.000-04:00Totally agree on the bulk comments. I love this product (really was hoping to be able to taste my way to my own recipe).. not only for the fact that it's tasty, but for the kick-butt ingredients inside. I admire the fact htat these can bind so well w.out butter (which makes me queasy) or tons of fat. The theory is simple, but you guys have it spot on. Thanks for sharing your food with the world =)ReAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542185757435704729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-53648178938242865202008-03-13T00:09:00.000-04:002008-03-13T00:09:00.000-04:00I learned about your blog from your dad & his awesome conversations about your chunks of energy that I've recently taken akin to :)<BR/><BR/>Interesting to read about this locak being the new organic trend elsewhere besides Minneapolis. Being in Minnesota, it's hard to get 'local' food all the time, but when it *is* local, it's becoming a huge idea.<BR/><BR/>Some of our favorite new finds of the summer was the fact that that people started to acknowledge, and deep-heartedly respect the few restaurnts we have in town that create menus (one of them new daily.. most others are weekly) based on what the local farmers bring to the city that day. If interested, I can find one such article that got high regard here in town. There's a big slow food & 'sew the seeds' movement going on here. Hopefully it becomes better than trendy.. more.. respectful.ReAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542185757435704729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-32959486966336203862008-02-07T15:01:00.000-05:002008-02-07T15:01:00.000-05:00Hi<BR/>I just wanted to say that I tried your carob/spirinula chunks yesterday and was blown away by the energy that I had. I was able to eat two chunks every three hours and not have to stop what I was doing to sit down and eat a full meal. I usually get hypoglycemia if I don't eat a full meal. I'm so glad I discovered your energy chunks, I have been searching for the perfect food to carry with me to avoid hypoglycemia while shopping or out on the run. They are so tasty too!<BR/>God Bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-54359535591339169432008-02-02T14:33:00.000-05:002008-02-02T14:33:00.000-05:00Informative Mother Earth Article, I am going to make small changes more frequently. This weeks change we be to stop buying Organic Canned Beans at my local coop Greenfields Market and cook my beans from scratch. There are 3 advantages, first I will eliminate the cans used for my bean consumption, secondly I will save a lot of money and lastly I can cook up a large quantity of beans at once, not only saving energy, but also freezing beans to be used later.Organic Dreamerwww.dantarco.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-80611999301527487692008-02-01T23:20:00.000-05:002008-02-01T23:20:00.000-05:00Leah, I found the Coffee Cake recipe online:<BR/><BR/>http://theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index.php?RecipeID=123<BR/><BR/>It's identical to the one in her cookbook except she omitted the berries on her website - all you have to do is add two cups frozen blueberries straight from the freezer after you mix the wet and dry ingredients!Ruby Red Veganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14236226397237084651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294241976896622520.post-19757375940778573182008-02-01T23:09:00.000-05:002008-02-01T23:09:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for the link to this article! I read every single tip, and they are really something I need to hear. I can be quite frivolous with money...<BR/><BR/>I'm going to Whole Foods tomorrow actually, and I'll fill out one of the comment forms there to request they carry your vegan flavors (you guys should make a vegan mocha chip flavor - yum!). It'll be the first time I've been back to the one near my university since December, so we'll see if they answered the last request I made for another product.<BR/><BR/>There's a recipe for vegan Blueberry Coffee Cake in the cookbook Vegan with a Vengeance, which they carry in practically any Borders or Barnes and Noble bookstore. Everything I've tried from this book is fabulous, and it also has recipes for Lemon Corn Waffles with Blueberry Sauce and Blueberry-Corn Muffins (delicious). Have fun at your breakfast reunion!Ruby Red Veganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14236226397237084651noreply@blogger.com
