Mushrooms. Nutrition Facts and Analysis for Nuts, hazelnuts or filberts. Cashew butter. Oh look, it’s Monday. By today I was supposed to have 5 different meals cooked and ready for the week, have visited Homegoods, Salvation Army, Sam’s Club, the grocery store and cleaned my house. Those were the “must dos”. But somewhere around 2am Saturday morning I woke up with that nagging chalkiness in the back of your throat that you just know means you’re getting sick and then proceeded to spend the rest of the weekend on the couch finishing Divergent (awesome, awesome read by the way) and doing the bare minimum which somehow translated to this, a trip to Sam’s Club (only because our membership expires in a month and we’re not renewing it. I now have enough napkins to last until I’m 40 and 36,000 sheets of toilet paper) and 1 cleaned room in my house because I was getting out of breath from pushing the vacuum.

Does that happen to anyone else when you’re sick? Apparently, the bare minimum also meant making cashew butter. Solution? Maple Roasted Vanilla Almond Cashew Butter Ingredients. Maple Vanilla Cashew Butter Recipe – Kate’s Healthy Cupboard. As I have mentioned before, I have a slight, ok major addiction to Justin’s Nut Butters.

I have realized that I can not buy a jar of it until I am sure I can eat it in moderation. It seriously tastes like frosting, have you tried the Vanilla Almond Butter flavor yet? I keep hoping he will come out with a cashew butter, but he hasn’t. Cashews tend to be a sweeter nut and I think they would be a great addition to his line, especially a chocolate cashew butter…yum!!! Instead of waiting on him, I created my own!! I tried to make it a bit less addictive but it’s still pretty darn good. Feel free to try this with any nut or a combination of nuts! Tagged as: Cashews, Paleo, Primal.

Grain Free Honey “Wheat” Crackers. Peanut Butter Protein Balls. DAMY's Best Protein Ball, Bar and Muffin Recipes. Super High Protein Ice Cream Recipe. I’ve worked hard for this blog. I’ve seen it grow for three years now. I went from all the time in the world, no job, taking care of a small town house and a small baby….to looking after 3/4 of an acre of yard and gardens, a three bedroom house, two crazy kids, two crazy dogs and two jobs that I manage from home.

But I can’t let this blog die…I just can’t. Besides an utter feeling of failure I would be lost without it, really I would. I love this space, I love my readers, I love Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and all the things this blog has brought to me. Not to mention the free goodies. So from now on, expect more posts, but expect them to be brief and maybe not so much time consuming photography. So let’s get on to this amazingly awesome recipe shall we? If you work out hard, run, lift weights, bicycle, swim, power walk, or get sweaty in any number of ways, then you need protein to repair those muscles and build up new ones. So yeah, protein is important. Ingredients Instructions. High Protein Energy Balls | Happy Healthy Mama. Life is never dull with a 2 year old around. They have a seemingly endless supply of energy. They love to get involved with whatever their parents are doing. In this case, they like to get involved in whatever Mommy is doing.

And Mommy was trying to take a few photos of the energy balls for her blog. The operative word being trying. By the end of the shoot, I needed a few energy balls. Have I mentioned that I’m pretty clueless when it comes to photography? Meghan was my big helper today. Her first idea was to have her plastic eggplant toy in the shot. Then she thought she should be the star of the show. But I was the director, and I put my foot down. In an attempt to get a few shots without her, I told her to run to the tree and back. Then, I saw her tiny hand. And I knew this shoot was almost over. Mmmmm. So I hope you won’t judge my photographs too harshly. Despite the photos, these High Protein Energy Balls are worth trying.

High Protein Energy Balls Makes 30 balls 1/2 cup almonds. Chocolate Chia Energy Balls Recipe. If you read my last two posts, you’ll know that there has been a very important and life changing thing going on in my life at this time. It’s hard to string into words the emotions that have been swirling around this house for the past few months, but it is nearly impossible to convey. Suffice it to say, there have been many tears, arguments, tense moments, quiet thought, introspection, discussion, belly laughs with friends, changes in routine, diet, habits…there have been ups and downs and everything in between. But this family is stronger than ever now and we only have each other to thank. It’s hard when you are used to telling the whole world what’s going in your life. When something comes up in that life that seems too important to share, too intimate to show to everyone and anyone, then everything comes to a stand still. What could I possibly say here that would not share our secrets, air our dirty laundry for all the people to see?

This dip tastes like pumpkin pie, but without the refined sugar, flour, or other junky stuff. This recipe is higher fat than the 15% guideline for this website; however, I feel the fat from the ground flaxseeds–which provides the adequate Omega 3s for an entire day for most of us–justifies the higher fat because it is functional nutrition.

This cake is incredibly moist and lightly spiced, but the pineapple frosting really brings it over the top! These have tons of flavor with chunks of gooey bananas.
