MY ORGANIZING GOALS FOR 2012 are up on High Straightenence! I’m putting it all out there. Let’s get organized together!
Raw Chocolate Milk
Brace yourselves. Your minds are about to be blown. You ready? You braced? Good.
What if I was to tell you that you can easily make chocolate milk that tastes like a frothy chocolate malt without using malt or dairy?
(Omg. This is starting to sound like an infomercial! Crap! I need a big screen projector behind me!)
Well, YOU CAN. You can make delicious chocolate milk with your blender!
(this is not an infomercial for a Vitamix cuz I don’t have one. I want one though! Like really really bad.)
So this is raw chocolate milk. What makes it raw? So glad you asked! It’s made with cashews that have been soaked in water! There’s also cocoa nibs up in this mix which makes things extra fancy in my book. Looking to make plain vanilla cashew milk? Just omit the cocoa nibs and reduce the agave syrup. This recipe is a game changer & approved by my picky 3 year old. Winning!
Disney Cruisin’ Part 2: Adult Time
The nice thing about going on a Disney Cruise is that with the help of on board activities & camps for kids, you’re able to sneak in some adult time! The camp that Cooper went to ran from 9am-midnight with open drop-in hours. During nap time and at night, Casey and I traded Cooper duty so we could both be apart of some memorable ADULT TIME activities.
So in those brief moments of adult time, this is what happened:
Apricot Coconut Energy Bars
APRICOT COCONUT ENERGY BARS:
Tangy, sweet, crunchy, chewy, delicious, healthy, raw, nutty, vegan, scrumptious, simple, homemade.
All you need is a few pantry items, a food processor and a bit of freezer time and you’ve got yourself a week’s worth of healthy snacks.
Who needs to buy expensive energy bars when you can make your own?
Sorry energy bar companies, I totally sold you out.
