Living Rawesome Day #202 Truffles and Chocolate Sauce pg. 168 entertaining in the raw
February 12, 2010
I had an “Angie Day” today. I went to get my blood drawn for my blood tests, went to the gym, and library. Now I am sitting at home alone while the boys play outside. They are searching through the woods and finding “treasures” such as old baseball bats and bicycle pieces. They are always exploring. I love it!
I decided to make my recipe somewhat early tonight, so I can finish laundry before Jason gets home. I made 2 recipes the truffles and chocolate sauce.
Truffles Ingredients
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
2 cups cahsews, soaked 4-6 hours
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
3/4 cup agave
1/4 cup mesquite
I put all ingredients in Vita-mix except mesquite powder. After the ingredients were blended I placed them in a bowl and added mesquite into the mixture by hand. I placed in freezer for 1 hour. I divided the recipe in 2.
Chocolate Sauce Ingredients
agave
cacao powder
carob powder
vanilla
salt
coconut oil
I blended all ingredients in Vita-mix until smooth. I placed it in a glass jar to use tomorrow.
It’s been a very rainy day today. It was perfect weather for reading a great book, so I did just that. I made some zingabar coconut tea from Teavana and brought it to the library. I read Susun Weed’s book Healing Wise. I love this book. I learned so much today just about myself. There were two paragraphs in the book were so healing for me today. One was, “Loving ourselves unconditionally strengthens our power to say “no” when our heart knows beauty and truth are not present.” This was so powerful for me, over the last 7 months I have become so much stronger than I was, and it all comes from loving myself more than ever! The second paragraph that was so healing for me was about honesty to self. It goes along with this weeks The Quest chapter entitled, Who am I? “Become aware of how often you do the expected thing, the good thing, the right thing, says the Wise Woman helper, and acknowledge the part of yourself that is a liar, that is afraid to say “no”. Truth and unconditional love support each other. To love yourself unconditionally, you must tell yourself the truth. You cannot hear your own truth if you are lying to others. This brings you wholeness. Tell the truth often and you will be filled with beauty. You will have health, you will walk the beauty way of health/wholeness/holiness, your truth will bless all you encounter. You will be blessed. Do not be afraid to reveal your own uniqueness, for that is part of your blessing.”(Healing Wise, Susun Weed). This book is very empowering for me. I feel like this came into my hands at the right time and I am reading it when I was supposed to. My heart was wide open for this teaching today. Susun Weed’s books are fun and easy to read. She has so much Wisdom and I love how she compares women to a void and how life is like a spiral. When I was younger I would always draw little swirls on papers at school. Maybe in my subconscious/spirit I knew that a woman’s life is shaped like this. If you haven’t read any of her books check them out, or look her up on Susunweed.com.
Time to do my mommy chores. Pphheeww, yeah right, the kids don’t mind if the clothes are folded but I do. Even though I would much rather sit in my chair with my dog’s head on my lap and just pet her. I love feeling the love of ALL BEINGS in my life! I am truly blessed.
LET GO OF YOUR NEED TO HAVE MORE
When you stop needing more of everything, more of what you desire seems to arrive in your life. Since you’re detached from the need for it, you find it easier to pass it along to others, because you realize how little you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.-Wayne Dyer
