Hump Day

Making it

Wednesday again..... Half way through the work week.  I am super excited because my organic Cacao Nibs came in the mail yesterday. I ordered them off amazon.com and they came as two bags I am super excited to use them. Notice the Bag Says Mayan Super food :) Doesn't that make you feel good? It makes me feel good, I love that Chocolate aka Cacao in its very natural form is really good for you. 

I decided to make Chocolate Macaroons with my organic super food Cacao, now it doesn't look that great in the bowl but I assure they taste really YUMMY. 

1 1/2 Cups unsulphered, dried Flaked Coconut

3 TBS Almond or Cashew butter

4-8 TBS Agave nectar or (real)maple syrup 

2 TBS Coconut Butter

2 tsp Vanilla Extract 

pinch of salt

1/4 cup Cocoa Powder or Carob Powder 

1/4 Cup Cacao Nibs and Gogi Berries

Stir all ingredients together in a bowl, Roll into balls and refrigerate. 

Freeze for longer storage

Healthy Dinner Ideas

I don't like to spend lots of time cooking dinner in the evening so these two dinners from this week were perfect and we enjoyed both of them so they were worth a picture and post. 

Baked Parmesan Chicken with a Side of Broccoli 

Deviled Eggs and Black Bean Brownies for Dessert 

Small Avocado filled with Quinoa and topped with shredded cheese,

 then warned up in microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese 

served with some chips and salsa on the side

Breakfast

I used to be really good about having my breakfasts all ready to go for myself in the morning, and I always had oatmeal in a small container that I could eat at work. Lately my breakfasts have been kind of inconsistent and I was thinking that I wanted to get back to my oatmeal routine. So I am trying some overnight oats. 

3/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats

1/2 Cup Milk

1 1/2 TBS Peanut Butter 

2 Tsp Brown Sugar or Honey

1 Tsp Chia

1 Tsp Flax 

(I also through on a couple of dark chocolate nibs since I had them out) 

Leave in Bowl over night, and Milk if needed in the AM 

I Hope this is Yummy!!!!
