SUPER HEALTHY CHOCOLATE COCONUT BLOBS with Flaxseed, Almond Butter and Tahini

There is nothing better that a decadent treat that you can feel really good about eating.  These Chocolate Coconut Blobs are so good, I find it really hard to stop at just one.  The trick to these little suckers is eating them frozen.  The freezing element has absolutely nothing to do with extending shelf life because they will not last long in your house.

1 tsp organic vanilla extract
1 tsp organic almond extract
1/2 - 1 cup organic shredded coconut

Method:  Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well.  With a spoon or your hands, form into balls and roll in the coconut.  Freeze and enjoy.

RYE SOURDOUGH Smeared with Almond Butter, Apple and Honey


Seeing as I didn't make supper tonight I thought I'd share with you what we ate for breakfast the other day.  After the Saturday market, a lovely woman whose name I don't know traded me some yummy sourdough rye bread.  It is a hearty, dense loaf that tasted lovely topped with some nut butter and honey.
