Naturally Sweetened TreatsNaturally Sweetened Treats is the 2nd community cookbook hosted by Pat Robinson from Heal Thyself and Aubrey Griffin Johnson from Homegrown and Healthy. The first was released in January and was entitled Winter Soups.

Naturally Sweetened Treats is a 102-page electronic book which is instantly downloadable to any reader or computer. You can download it immediately after purchase and begin using it. You don't need to limit your use of it to your computer, and you can load it to your iPad or email to your Amazon Kindle or other reader. You can also print it out, punch holes in it and place in a three ring binder.

Pat and Aubrey asked us to share our favorite and most loved treats and desserts. I chose to include my Silky Chocolate Pie which is decadent and rich tasting. Definitely worthy of being one of my favorites. 🙂

In addition to my favorite recipe, there are 40 more favorites + each recipe is accompanied by a photo of the soup – I have to tell you there are some GORGEOUS photos in this collection. In my opinion, photos are THE best part of a cookbook, don't you agree?

As with Winter Soups, I took on the task of formatting of Naturally Sweetened Treats. A lot of work has gone into putting this delicious e-book together and I know you're going to love it!
