The weather has been sensational and so we have been outside non-stop; eating on the porch constantly. I feel invigorated by the mild temperatures, sunshine and blue skies. Tonight we had a terrific salad for dinner that was probably half walnuts and half lettuce. It also contained a good quarter cup of raw hemp seeds, an apple, chopped finely, and my apple cider vinaigrette (p 86 in my cookbook). It was so satisfying. Then for dessert I thinned out my chocolate & (fake) peanut butter spread, for an uber-healthy mock fondue. Divine. See Ashley's hand in the photo? =) The girls ate the fondue with strawberries and apple slices then proceeded to use their hands to shovel the rest into their mouths. haha! So I gave them spoons. =)
Sending you springtime love, Kelly
Chocolate & (fake) Peanut Butter Spread:
Mix:
3 tsp Raw Cacao Powder (see this video on why raw hemp seeds & cacao powder rock)
about 4 tsp water
2 tsp honey
2 tbsp Sunbutter (sunflower seed butter)
about 5 drops of chocolate raspberry liquid stevia
Add more chocolate or sweetener as needed.
Thin with extra water till you have fondue consistency.
PS Next time I'm thinking macadamia nut butter and raw cacao powder... Or almond butter... I can't decide =)

OK, you are now my favorite blogger. I am getting so many recipe ideas from you! How do you formulate your own recipes? Is there a lot of trial and error?
You are such a sweetie! I don't really know though :-) It was really hard in the beginning, but it's going on 6 years now on our alternative diet, and it's so much easier :-)
By the way, my brother's name is also Brandon :-)
Awesome. I like the name. Although, I'm a bit biased.
OMG...that looks so heavenly!

We tried this today with almond butter (with raw cacao powder), and it was a big hit! :D Very yummy..my 6.5, 4.5 and 2yo gobbled it right down. Thanks!
