before i start telling you about brownies - have you heard the new fleet foxes album!?
every single freaking song is amazing and resonates deep within my soul. that's all there is to say. my friend is going to give me his old record player (so excited!!!! he is the best) and helplessness blues may be the first record i buy. here's a song from the album, it's got a beautiful video to go with it.
on to food. as you may have noticed - i have been eating predominantly salad the past few weeks, and this has yet to stop. all the salads i make are so gorgeous i have to take pics and show you. i don't care if you don't wanna see them. i will force you.
just look at it!
it was an excellent meal, as you should assume. for dessert i made these guys:
they are really yummy, as you should also assume. i put coconut, goji berries, almonds, cashews, hemp seeds, prunes and cacao in 'em. simple, delicious and nutritious. they are disappearing pretty rapidly.
goji coconut brownies: makes... enough
1/3 cup goji berries
1/2 cup coconut chunks
3/4 cup almonds
3/4 cup cashews
3 tb hemp seeds
1/3 cup cacao
6 tb mesquite powder
1 t cinnamon
1/8 t cayenne
1/2 t Himalayan salt
1/4 cup dates
1/4 cup prunes
2 tb melted coconut oil
a bit of agave, maple syrup or honey (if you like)
in a food processor, pulse nuts into crumbs then add the dates and prunes and wait for the mix to start sticking together. add all the other ingredients and see if you like how it tastes. if so - awesome! (if not, change to your liking) then press into a lined pan and refrigerate for 1 hour.
or eat them right away.
I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteFleet foxes is a grrreeaaat band! And that music video reminds me of a Miyazaki film, princess mononoke. (should watch if you haven't yet!)
Anyhoo, love from California!
Yay raw food!
thank you! ;)
Deleteyes they're so amazing. they remind me of forests on Vancouver island in the summer... and a lot of other beautiful things.
i have seen that!!! i was thinking about it just the other day - crazy. you're totally right. wooooow.
I've always wondered how such beautiful music like Fleet Foxes could exist, that band seriously tugs at my heart and soul strings aghhhh! That music video was gorgeous but A BIT UNSETTLING, still awesome nonetheless
ReplyDeletei know! for awhile i let myself believe people weren't behind the music - nature was just making it up. then i saw them live and i'm like... oh, i guess humans really are making it, not the trees. haha. i try to forget though ;) makes it even better.
Deleteagreed! it's not exactly pleasant, but hey, the coolest things are always a little unsettling... right?
