"When you're hungry, hunt down 18 Rabbits"

What you need to know about 18 Rabbits is that it's easily one of the most local foods you can find - much of what's in it comes from California: Scharffen Berger chocolate nibs, Marshall's Farm honey, Straus Family Creamery butter. Since so much of the product is sourced locally, it's not surprising that its outstanding characteristic is freshness.

Even if you usually eat your granola in a bowl, be sure to try some of the 18 Rabbit granola bars, which come in a creative range of flavors - with names to match. I love the Haute Diggity Date, but give even higher marks to the Cheeky Cherry Chocolate and Funky Figs and Cherries.

Divinely D’lish!

Since so many of the energy bars on the market are either chock full of unhealthy additives or taste like paste or lame candy bars, I was thrilled to find one that is truly a treat. Not only is this new granola bar 'Divinely D'lish', it’s healthy ingredients and recyclable wrapper (soon to be biodegradable) make it the perfect any time snack.

With yummy concoctions like Cheeky Cherry Chocolate Bars, Haute Diggity Date Bars and Funky Figs & Cherries, these low sodium, organic, wheat and trans fat free delights are rich in Essential fatty acids and fiber. Stir in the socially and environmentally conscious production and you have a superbly scrumptious recipe.

The bars are as they say, full of "Wholesome Energy" - they seem to leap out of my pantry! My kids love them and I have certain guests (you know who you are!) that head straight for the bars each time they visit me (at least they claim to be visiting me).

Divinely D'Lish

I can no longer keep Divinely D'Lish Granola in my apartment or I would eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner and maybe snack on it in between. It's as homemade tasting as it gets: made with all California-certified organic farmers ingredients. (They also claim that their production and packaging is environmentally sensitive.) Consider yourself warned!

“Alison was raised on a strict all-natural, all-organic diet—including her mother’s unforgettable homemade granola. She loved the recipe so much that, after leaving her job as a banker in Chicago and moving to San Francisco, she built her career on her favorite organic food.”

In recent years, specialty shops and upscale eateries have given granola a makeover. Once the hippie snack that put the crunch in crunchy, granola is now a popular food among the gourmet cognoscenti.

Alison Vercruysse takes the trend one step further at her San Francisco granola company, Divinely D’lish. She makes her granolas almost exclusively with local, organic ingredients. Coconut, flax, and a medley of nuts from GL Alfieri Farms in the San Joaquin Valley share space with Scharffen Berger cocoa nibs and chocolate, Straus Family Creamery butter, and Marshall’s Farm Bay Area Blend honey.

This rich, crisp granola is the opposite of austere health food, but it’s still nutritious and will give you (and your kids) loads of energy. Vercruysse also makes three type of granola bars.

Granola used to be hippie food, but today it’s almost chic. Of the local makers, my daughter’s favorite is Galaxy Granola from San Rafael, while I go for Divinely D’lish. Loaded with walnuts, hazelnuts, flaxseed, Marshall’s Farm honey and Scharffen Berger cacao nibs, Veritas Granola tastes like upscale cocoa puffs.

“After one handful of the granola, I realized that it has everything a good cookie has – it’s sweet, nutty and crunchy, but it has much less fat, fewer calories, and a whole lot more nutritional value.”
