I seldom go outside the "papercrafting" topics on my posts, but thought I'd break my mold a bit and share a current journey I'm on. I'm really needing to lose weight and change some poor eating habits that have gradually evolved over the post child-bearing years. Our oldest son and DIL are really into fitness and healthy eating and follow a version of the paleo diet. We chatted on the phone last evening and DS shared a "sweet" treat simple recipe that I want to try out and thought...why not share it on the ole bloggo! So, here's the recipe...
3.3 oz (or so) 85% dark chocolate bar
1 cup of coconut oil
1 handful of shredded coconut
1 handful of diced almonds
Sprinkled sea salt across the top
"We
just melt the chocolate bar in a ceramic bowl inside a pot with some
water on the stove, then add the coconut oil and wait for everything to
melt. Throw in the coconut/almonds and pour into a small square baking
sheet and sprinkle sea salt evenly across the top. Pop it in the
freezer for 15 minutes, then take it out and break it into chunks.
Easy. I'm sure you can fudge with the amounts, and maybe add stevia if
you want it sweeter." Hahaha...I loved that he used the punny "fudge" with the amounts phrase! He knows me well!
Oh..did I mention I'm 10 pounds lighter? I still have a long way to go, but I'm feeling better already!
