Lemon Cashew Cookie Dough...a little dose of Spring!!

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's something about the freshness of lemon that makes me feel <b>Springy</b> (is that a word??)...you know, the opposite of winter heaviness and darkness - fresh and light and airy! I enjoy lemon in my water and REALLY love lemon in my food - especially the sharpness of lemon peel with it's intense lemon flavor.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQDfvv5qS4aT9EZuejsjE-Rcw9j06Hbh0PrdasBQoQ1HeiDUfQuCvoa8xnYGh5WBxQ2O70O06JF4DpcPi8UzH8DlbpYUIsq2Dpv-VlBZ5uqkoE4I73wY1aGlykhOMQAUmo00Aki_uY_JN/s1600/lemonCashew1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQDfvv5qS4aT9EZuejsjE-Rcw9j06Hbh0PrdasBQoQ1HeiDUfQuCvoa8xnYGh5WBxQ2O70O06JF4DpcPi8UzH8DlbpYUIsq2Dpv-VlBZ5uqkoE4I73wY1aGlykhOMQAUmo00Aki_uY_JN/s320/lemonCashew1.jpg" width="256" /></span></a></div> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This energy ball  tastes a lot more like cookie dough than my previous recipes. I wanted to do something that DIDN'T use dates and nuts like many of the others I make - I wanted something with a softer texture that resembled more of a cookie dough. <b>NAILED IT</b>. Sorry I get excited, but this is like biting into a soft cookie dough. The difference here is using coconut flour for the cookie-like texture and honey as a sweetener (as opposed to dates) - keep in mind if you want to follow a truly <b>Paleo</b> diet you can substitute maple syrup or even Monk fruit.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Man I could add these little balls into some ice cream and be the happiest Mama ever.

A Snack to satisfy your CHOCOLATE craving WHILE fuelling your body - Nut & Seed Bark!

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the weekend I was looking for that little something to enjoy that would satisfy my craving for chocolate, but without sabotaging my hormones, bowels or skin. I also wanted something QUICK - I didn't feel like baking. I decided to use coconut oil as the fat component and cocoa powder for the chocolaty flavor.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOyqy8l7LdHqB_hZkvfD3n47lFSbyQdq9wzitTKgh_8E51odbWukPx36Zhu1QFVQyuBVjGT2bcAdlmnV0WDBubCyZe8MgdkxftAMInXl3DBDeO55MasZPZo2UF7QH0cndCq7y8OSFDXW5v/s1600/IMG_20160305_120427.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOyqy8l7LdHqB_hZkvfD3n47lFSbyQdq9wzitTKgh_8E51odbWukPx36Zhu1QFVQyuBVjGT2bcAdlmnV0WDBubCyZe8MgdkxftAMInXl3DBDeO55MasZPZo2UF7QH0cndCq7y8OSFDXW5v/s320/IMG_20160305_120427.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div> <br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In case you're interested in HOW these ingredients fuel your body, here's a quick summary:</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Coconut Oil</b> - this medium chain triglyceride (MCT) isn't broken down like most other fats - it goes directly to the liver where it can be used as energy very quickly (bypassing the digestive process where it will often be stored as fat to be used later). MCT also manages cravings, improves blood sugar regulation, allows your body to burn fat more efficiently and is an amazing energy source for athletes.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Cocoa </b>- I'm talking about REAL cocoa, not the sweetened hot chocolate mix from back in the day. Cocoa has the ability to increase our serotonin production, which makes us feel happier. It can be a great source of antioxidants and it contains stearic acid which makes us feel full and satisfied.</span><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0k7oSgrJqrOUmI9D4WxVbAUsghjj_FEcIekIwReif3ov_U_RFhgePNqoqkPj-rhNgrb_dDRseaL1tvfU3naO3uyFsam5siPbH36_h9hQp5IKP74jKWsNWgFjIIiwMKyEA7-yp_6Z5WbT/s1600/20160305_105902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig0k7oSgrJqrOUmI9D4WxVbAUsghjj_FEcIekIwReif3ov_U_RFhgePNqoqkPj-rhNgrb_dDRseaL1tvfU3naO3uyFsam5siPbH36_h9hQp5IKP74jKWsNWgFjIIiwMKyEA7-yp_6Z5WbT/s400/20160305_105902.jpg" width="225" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ok, are we now happy with these 2 ingredients and why they make an amazing powerhouse combo?? </span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This recipe is VERY versatile - add any combo of nuts/seeds/dried fruit that you wish. It takes about 10min. to put together and sets very quickly in the freezer because of how hard coconut oil becomes in the cold.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My kids LOVED this after a day at the pool - it fueled their bodies with plenty of healthy fats and helped give them a nice even energy for the rest of the day (without the hyperactivity we'd see from granola bars or cookies!). I've been enjoying a piece with my afternoon coffee and find it really satisfying (you don't need a lot).</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span> <b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's what I used:</b><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1/4 cup coconut oil</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1/4 cup coconut BUTTER (this is the oil AND flesh of the coconut combined - it's less 'oily' than coconut oil...if you don't have this ingredient you can used shredded coconut and pulse it in your blender until it's a fine meal).</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 TBSP good quality Cocoa powder (I used Cocoa Camino)</span><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5aQ5KpJ_CxQxqyhzs-pYJJejhylr5wfMoh7sFJ-0AhiNT4xu7NtTKtB9fNozyITVHfEU3Dy7LJnCo5kgUhydHOyd9h7GjxTd9ii0s23T7-wIr1Ey2qVDv1OsyugPSQXk5tSaWjND8aMb9/s1600/20160305_113618.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5aQ5KpJ_CxQxqyhzs-pYJJejhylr5wfMoh7sFJ-0AhiNT4xu7NtTKtB9fNozyITVHfEU3Dy7LJnCo5kgUhydHOyd9h7GjxTd9ii0s23T7-wIr1Ey2qVDv1OsyugPSQXk5tSaWjND8aMb9/s320/20160305_113618.jpg" width="225" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sweetener of choice (depending how sweet you like it, you can use honey, maplesyrup, stevia or monkfruit....I added 1 Tbsp of honey for my first batch).</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Warm these all up until they melt and you have a runny liquid.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the meantime arrange your dry ingredients on a parchment lined plate (I used cashews, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds (super high in calcium!) and dried cherries.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pour your chocolate mixture over top, and then sprinkle with a few extra seeds to make it look pretty.

Why I give my kids COFFEE...and maybe you should too!

<span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">Ok before you start judging me you're going to want to read this blog! First off, you should know that I'm Polish, and I grew up on warm milk with coffee...I remember it fondly from a very young age. I didn't have it daily but I remember how much I loved it even back then (As a side note it turns out my husband, who is from Spain, was also given coffee as as a child).</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">Giving coffee to kids is a cultural thing and is viewed as normal in many countries including Europe, Brazil and many South American countries.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5uHf1d8EmHm-PipsPvhh178AxU7KvvYAM41Og7bIWY75vb8lFHAOKC4ALjR0Q6PQMqIjmcbaFb7YoXUvILNEaqOMJj4NxRVPPpL-eigB053AcsUnUx7J3yy6Ud-2UvIdxXqkPdrWnfeHB/s1600/IMG_20151121_132827_resized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5uHf1d8EmHm-PipsPvhh178AxU7KvvYAM41Og7bIWY75vb8lFHAOKC4ALjR0Q6PQMqIjmcbaFb7YoXUvILNEaqOMJj4NxRVPPpL-eigB053AcsUnUx7J3yy6Ud-2UvIdxXqkPdrWnfeHB/s320/IMG_20151121_132827_resized.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div> <br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">Before I tell you about my household and how I use it, I want to share with you some background of how I view coffee (and why I view it like any other herb, natural remedy or medicine). </span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">While I was studying to become a Naturopathic Doctor, '<i>coffea arabica</i>' was just another botanical we studied in our Botanical Medicine course (and learned about its use as a medicine - stimulant, laxative, brain booster, MAOI inhibitor, circulation stimulator, fat burner and antioxidant etc - it's a LONG list).</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">[<i>As a side note, I once saw a Chinese medical doctor who determined that my constitution was too 'cold' and asked me to include coffee and wine in my diet (to help move my blood and sluggish circulation)...he was SO right - it's something that I include daily and feel MUCH better from it (COFFEE silly, not wine...I generally save the wine for weekends:)]</i></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">So <b>YES</b> coffee is a <b>MEDICINE</b>! Here's some neat facts:</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">In a 2005 study by Florian Koppelstätter (Medical University at Innsbruck, Austria) MRI scans determined that caffeine increased activity of the anterior cingulate in the prefrontal lobe of the brain. Why might you care? These areas are involved in planning, attention, monitoring and concentration...hey wait a minute, aren't these really important for school??</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">Another cool fact, caffeine has been studied as playing a role in calming children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD (where inattention and impulsivity often hinder their ability to concentrate). Although caffeine is a stimulant, <i><b>some</b></i> individuals are using it to medicate ADHD in their children or themselves. In these individuals caffeine has the opposite effect it has on others - instead of being stimulating, caffeine appears to have a calming effect. <b>Love it.</b></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;"><b>BUT WAIT</b>...it's important to note that large amounts of caffeine can have negative consequences such as headaches, digestive disturbances and addiction SO please know how much caffeine your child is consuming in their entire diet (cough syrups, cocoa, chocolate bars, pop, ice tea) before you add any amount of coffee. If you're concerned, to put it into perspective, 1 oz of coffee will have about 15 mg of caffeine, 1.5 oz of dark chocolate OR a can of coke has about 34 mg! </span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: "museo sans 300" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">I had to get your attention with an awesome title (hopefully I did because you're reading this now), but although I give me kids coffee, it's only a very small amount mixed into an nutrient-dense super-drink that we call the <b>'Hug in a Mug'</b> at our house. This drink is a favorite on cold winter mornings - the minerals help support their bones and teeth, and actually aid in  healthy digestive function. The little bit of coffee does all the wonderful things above and just basically gets them turned 'on' and ready for the day ahead. They have this drink maybe 3-4x/week.
