Weekend Wants

Somedays all I want to do is bake something - and eat ice cream. Today, friends, is one of those days. Here's just what the doctor ordered:

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Here's what you need:


2 cups of water
1 cup of raw cashews
1/4 cup raw hemp seed
1/2 cup pitted dates
1 tbs. vanilla
1 tbs. spirulina
1 tbs. peppermint extract
1 tbs. arrowroot extract
1 tsp. sea salt
bar of chocolate (1/2 broken up into big blocks goes to the blender, and 1/2 broken into smallish chunks to go in the finished product before you put it in the freezer)

1. Measure it all out and chuck it in the blender.

Primordial blenderness.


2. Blend for a few minutes and then pour into a low dish of some sort for freezing.

3. Use the pounded or chopped half chocolate bar to top the icecream.

I swear it's mint...it's just not green!


Coconut Flour Berry Muffins

Got this recipe off of Cindalou's site.



Not hard to make at all but I didn't add any stevia and I think it would have helped a bit with the cake-y texture of the muffin. I also didn't use cranberries and used mixed berries instead. If anybody cooks with coconut flour again let me know! The stuff is great - high in fiber for one thing - just need to find some more uses for it.
