In two words: Walnut brownies. It’s Friday, and the last thing I want to do is subject you to a 1,000-word blog post on how delicious these three ingredient walnut brownies are, and that you will never crave or want another sugar-loaded version again. So I won’t. With that said, I leave you with this: Have a happy weekend! p.s Yoast SEO is giving me the side eye. 5.0 from 2 reviews 3 INGREDIENT WALNUT BROWNIES Print Prep time 10 mins Total time 10 mins Author: Taste of Yummy Serves: 6-8 brownies Ingredients 2 cups of walnuts ½ cup of cacao powder 1 cup of Medjool dates, pitted…

BLACKENED TOMATILLO AND TOMATO SALSA
Blackened tomatillo and tomato salsa! Charred tomatillos, grapeseed oil, red onions, hatch chile pepper, tomato sauce, sea salt and a splash of coconut vinegar. You’re in for a treat. Over the last 24 hours, I ate my weight in salsa while watching the Dallas vs. Giants game. Let’s just say; I’m team Dallas, and I’m not a happy camper this Monday morning. It’s strange we disagree about these things. As with the making of this roasted tomatillo and tomato salsa, we have our preferences. With black beans or without, chopped onions or garlic, on top of eggs or with vegetables, strewn over fries or on top of a salad, hot…

BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD SQUARES, MMMM
The question of the week: Why buy blueberry banana bread from your local bakery, when you can make it yo’ self? And the answer is: Because if you never make it for yourself, you will never know how you like to make it for yourself {if that makes sense}, you’ll know exactly what’s NOT in it i.e. NO ADDITIVES & PRESERVATIVES and this will be one of the most enjoyable experiences in your lifetime that you will own, not some stranger in the kitchen. With that said, let’s bake some blueberry banana bread squares. Your recipe looks like this: 3 1/2 cups of Spelt flour 2 cups of blueberries 2…

LET’S MAKE SOME PASTA MARINARA, CHEF AHKI STYLE
Happy Monday! We have entered the part of the school year where it’s appropriate for my kiddos to scream at the top of their lungs-SCHOOL’S OUT. Do you remember that song “School’s out for Summer?!”, yeah, like that. Friday was our last day of homeschool. YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! As you can see, I’m a little excited too. I can finally exhale, let my hair down and perhaps have more time for my blog (stay tuned). In other news, a few weeks ago my son convinced me that Snapchat is where it’s at on social media, then the stars aligned and… I’M ON SNAPCHAT. Yes, I’m on Snappie! I love this app and its…

SUPERFOOD BLISS BALLS
Almonds. Dates. Coconut. Yes, they taste amazing. But when you combine them together you create belly-filling Bliss Balls that are the food equivalent of laying on a soft, overstuffed sofa. They’re round and comforting; they process in less than 10 minutes, my kids love them, my husband can’t keep his hands off them and me, I’m just obsessed. Superfood bliss balls definition: Gooey Medjool dates combined with almonds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, bound with coconut nectar, coconut oil, tahini, pulsed into a moist pile, formed into very large balls of decadent, sweet chewiness.
