Happy Friday, Doll!
How are ya??
Well, well, hello Friday!! It’s here and its glorious!
This is going to be a quick post my friend as I need to get up and ready so we can run to Whole Foods and take advantage of their 1 Day Sale – 5 Organic Avocados for $5!!! I am such a Health Food Nerd. I saw the poster at Whole Foods 3 days ago and every day Ryan and I are like “2 Days until Cheap Avocado’s!!”
We already have it planned how we’re going to get more than 5 through that check out….shhhhhh….here’s our secret: We’re EACH going to pick up a pack of Avocado’s
LOL
I must quickly fill ya in on the Treat Friday Treat today cause this girlfriend has to wash her greasy mess of a mop before I leave the house to Avocado hunt.
Because I love my sweets and let’s face it, Grain Free doesn’t leave you too many options for Cookies and Cakes, but it does leave you lots of options to work with when it comes to the nut and coconut region.
The other day I was craving a sweet…to the point where I could have backed down from the ‘ol diet and filled my face with a Spelt Power Muffin {my FAV from Whole Foods…sigh}, but I popped a couple nuts, swigged at my coconut water and didn’t dare touch the sweet chocolate and molasses that oozes out of my muffins….
I kept myself grounded and clean that day.
But I needed a fix.
Enter the Paleo Cashew Macaroons.
I find I can think up the best recipes while shopping the bulk section, so I picked up a few things, came home and turned the oven on. To 350
Paleo Cashew Macaroons:
1 cup Cashew Peices
1/2 cup Coconut Flour
2 cups Shredded Coconut
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 Coconut Oil {melted}
1 cup Almond Milk {Unsweetened Vanilla}
2 tbsp Honey
7 drops NuNaturals Vanilla Stevia
To Make Paleo Cashew Macaroons: Preheat oven to 350.
In a large mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients until well mixed and the eggs are thoroughly combined.
Add the wet to the dry and fold together.
Drop tablespoons size mixture onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until brown.
I wanted to drizzle these with chocolate soooooo bad, but I had to keep my cool over here. So instead I ate them with Greek Chocolate Mousse!! Yes, I am that girl that said “I”ll never have yogurt in my house” and then bough greek yogurt after trying it Miami for the first time.
Greek Chocolate Mouse:
1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt {I used Libery 0%}
3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 packet of NuNaturals Powdered Stevia
To Make Greek Chocolate Mousse: Mix all together in a bowl and Whisk until Fluffy!
Enjoy as a snack or with your Macaroons!
Is it bad I had this for breakfast?! Jeez.
Wish me luck on my Avocado Shopping today! WOOT!
