Ready for another delicious challenge? I think it’s time! November 5th we’re going 5 Days Low Glycemic Eating! Time to get that appetite under control and kick those sugar cravings to the curb! Info below on how you can get a free copy of the tutorial.
Lovers! Yes, oh yes. Today is my birthday and I am now 31 years young. Oh it is good to be a woman in her 30’s. I swear there is this wild transition that happens when you reach 30 and the more into this delectable prosperous, self-assured decade I get, the more clear I become on what I am after in my world, and perhaps even more importantly, what is no longer worth putting energy into.
As a child, I always had Halloween themed birthdays- all except for that one year I took it to a grown-up level for my 9th birthday and had a dinner and a dance. Yes, I was always a step ahead of where I should be. It just came down to the fact that for just one birthday, I didn’t want to be wearing a witch’s hat and dirty-face make-up or worse- be a ‘punk rocker’ with green zinc as lipstick and an itchy metallic pink wig. Or maybe I really just wanted to slow dance with that special someone to a little Milli Vanilli’s Blame It On The Rain.
So because it is my birthday, I wanted to offer you a sweet gift and also maybe my most favourite chocolate goodie ever.
First the gift. For today only, and just until midnight, you can get my super powered Complete and Total Balance package for $31! That’s a savings of $28.99 on the regular package price and if you were to get each one on it’s own, it would total $78. Happy birthday to me and right back at you!
Now, back to the sweet treats, Cake is fine and all for a birthday party- you know, tradition and all that jazz. But let’s be honest with ourselves, isn’t chocolate what we always want anyhow?
This little delight of greatness also makes an awesome grown-up Halloween treat. This is not my invention though. Must give credit where credit is due and this one comes from the same creator of The Incredible Hulk Bread.
This one has four ingredients- chocolate, coconut oil, almond butter, and dates. Dates make this a treat but if dates aren’t your thing, a dried fig would work beautifully as well.
Chocolate Covered Birthday Dates
12 medjool dates, pitted (can do this by hand)
3/4 cup almond butter (or nut/seed butter of choice)
1 dark chocolate bar or make your own raw chocolate sauce using this recipe
1-2 Tbs coconut oil (if using the chocolate bar method).
Sea salt to taste
Remove pits from your dates.
With the tenderest of loving touches, pry open the dates and put it approx 1 Tbs of almond butter for each date. Close’r on up as best you can.
In a double boiler, melt your chocolate.
Using kitchen tongs (or a fork if you don’t have tongs), dip your almond butter filled date into the chocolate.
Place on parchment paper and continue with the rest.
Sprinkle with a dash of sea salt (or use hemp seeds, ground gogi- whatever you like…) and put in the freezer for about 20 mins, or until serving.
Serve straight out of the freezer.
I know… Amazing.
