We don't normally eat a lot of sweets other than fruits. But, sometimes we feel like eating something a little decadent. So, today for our fun, we made an impromptu dessert, and ate it (well, some of it) as a family.
What made this dessert extra fun is that we followed no recipes -- just threw ingredients into the food processor, pulsed it up, and served it. It turned out great! Here's what we included:
- 1 small handful of raw walnuts
- 1 small handful raw almonds
- 1+ cup shredded raw, dried, unsweetened coconut
- 1-2 Tbsp. carob powder
- few dashes salt
- a drizzle of agave nectar (dates might have been a healthier option)
- ~1/4 cup raw coconut oil
Tasty stuff! This mixture makes a consistency that can easily be formed into balls, if you would want to serve it at a party or some other semi-formal setting. Have you ever just thrown something together and come up with a great recipe? If so, feel free to share it.
What else fun can we do for an hour? Leave a suggestion as a comment! We would like to pick things on a regular basis. If a suggestion if inspiring to you and you complete one of the activities, be sure to send us a pic!
(p.s. Thanks to the reader who suggested that we attend a book reading tonight here in Portland. Had we not been busy this evening, we definitely would have attended, as that sounds like a fun outing!)
