Fall (ing Snow) and Chocolate

Can you believe what is happening outside?

It seems like only a few days ago I was saying

goodbye to the last wave of the tomato harvest.

Waving goodbye to the beautiful leaves of summer as they

beautifully decayed in splendid shades of yellow, orange and red.

And now it looks like this outside.

Beautiful! Right?

I need some coffee....

Oh there it is!

Tall skinny blonde with soy milk...

With one pump of vanilla.

Yum!

This calls for a big bowl of soup!

1/4 cup of quinoa, 1/2 zucchini chopped, 1/4 cup chopped kale

and 1/4 c pepper sauce (pinjur or salsa)

1) throw it all in the pot

2) let it simmer until the quinoa is done

3) warm your insides!

Look at the creepy snow outside!

Now it's time for chocolate truffle bar.

1/4 c cocoa powder, 4 T sweetened vanilla coconut milk, 1t coconut oil

1) mix the ingredients in a bowl then place in baggie and pop it in the freezer

2) after a 3 or 4 hours (or overnight) pop it out of the bag 

3)  sprinkle with cracked sea salt or top with a bit of pb

After that indulgence have a bit of detox food.

Steam veg with quinoa and a side of sauerkraut.

Have you tried this?

It's thick and creamy like greek yogurt.

Not too sweet but the strawberry flavor is fabulous.
