Beyond divine! I love them beyond reason and I am not the only one in the house who does so. The one above is the last of this batch and I had people looming over my shoulders as I was composing the shot. Now, I do have to say I use what I am calling coconut flour but it is really unsweetened coconut meat that has been blended with water and Irish Moss and then had all the milk squeezed out of it via cheescloth and elbow grease. Does that make flour? I don’t know – sub in what you have or have fun hand squeezing the living daylights out of coconut pulp Key West style! Your choice. The Recipe 1 banana 1/2 cup pumpkin 2 eggs 1tsp vanilla 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup flaxseed meal 1/2 cup coconut flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup nuts 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks Blend wet ingredients together, add dry, stir in nuts & chocolate. Bake an 8″ square glass pan at 350* for 20-30 minutes. Top with raspberries, or pitted cherries, or a schmear of nut butter…options are endless!!! Inspired by Petite Althleat. Let me know if you try these! Enjoy!

Life vs Pinterest

So it finally happened.  My invite to Pinterest was approved!  I’ve debated long and hard, well, long anyway as the wait to join was almost 2 weeks long, and thought I’d share some of my thoughts as a brand new, one day old Pinterest user.

First, I love Pinterest so much.  It is a perfect visual organization tool for visual orientated people. Pin my recipes so I can find them by photo?  Yes, please!  So much better than binders filled with scraps of paper.  I use to think, oh how sweet, I’m creating a book of foodie memories for my daughter, but in truth if I were to kick the bucket tomorrow that would just get pitched out the door.  She is the least likely person in the world to cling to sentiment so why should I?

Second, I can totally see how addicted people are.  The weddings and babies were driving me insane until I figured out how to ditch the angelic cherubs and their crib palaces and the wedding colors/flowers/food/thedress/thedress/thedress/flowergirl!  Those girls need a boyfriend and a life in the worst way.

So, I’ve decided that I need to do as well as pin.

All the ingredients for a cocktail found under some Thanksgiving tag, it looked delish but if it isn’t, off the board it goes!  Besides, I’m dying for a good Autumny drink right now.  I need to find it or I’m going to jump straight to eggnog and I’m not exercising nearly hard enough lately for that move!

Finally, the best advice on How To Live a Beautiful Life.  Go. Read it now.
