When I want something rich and chocolaty, this is what I turn to. They're ooey, gooey, and definitely not health food. But with cricket powder, they're better for your health than a normal version.
There are as many brownie recipes as there are cricket species. Probably more. Nearly all of them pair nicely with crickets because rich flavors like cocoa and nuts complement the earthiness of the powder. This is our basic, textbook brownie recipe with a healthy cricket powder kick.
If you're looking for a versatile, flavorful bread to try with your cricket powder, this recipe is for you. My version is based on a sweeter profile, and includes warm baking spices like cinnamon and cloves. But I've had plenty sweet potato breads--especially in the south--that were less like a...
Warm banana bread is a treat unlike any other. From the moment you begin making it and for the next few hours, the kitchen (if not the entire house) smells wonderful, and everybody's in a good mood. Walnuts give this bread an important textural element, and the cricket powder works...
Sometimes my sweet tooth gets a hold of me. (Have you noticed how many of our products involve chocolate?) This recipe is the result of a serious craving for cocoa and crickets together, and it's one of my favorites. In fact, it was published in Artful Living a few years ago...

This is a staple of my Monday morning routine. Packed with nutrients from all the fruit and vegetables, it's like a reset button after a long weekend. I like the idea of jumping into the week with a belly full of all sorts of good things.
Most people like sweets in the morning, but I never have. I'm more of an eggs and coffee kind of guy. That's why I never got into smoothies until I discovered coffee and peanut butter together. This is my go-to weekend breakfast and one of my favorite ways to get...

Try 'em once and we think you'll agree it's an improvement over the traditional yellow bag of chocolate chips...
