Now back in action with attention on mending, healing, eating protein and doing Bikram yoga.( yes- it's freaking hot!). I am spending my days in a blissed out state- which is really nice! I still am enjoying raw foods at about 50% of my diet and I think it's a better balance for me
.
I also got the ok to take a break from my insulin pump and go back to shots. Why? one might ask? isn't the pump way better? yes and no. I have been pumping for 9 years. I have a lot of scar tissue now from the infusion sets being changed every 2 days- makes for about 2500 infusion site changes. Shots I can do with a pen and in more places than the pump allowed. I can also sweat and twist and turn in yoga without being constantly distracted by my site hurting or tubing coming loose.
So on with the recipe...
It is new to me-
and a Raw recipe I will call:
the brownie recipe
adapted from eatrawvegan.com.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, soaked at least 4 hours and rinsed very well
- 10 pitted Medjool dates
- 3/4 cups cacao powder for regular brownies, more for a darker flavored brownie
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- pinch of salt
Directions:
- Process ingredients together in food processor. Add water as needed to soften dough. Do not over process. You want to still see bits of walnut.
- Press batter firmly down in 8x8 pan
- top with cacao nibs or coconut shreds, or more nuts.
- sample one :)
- refrigerate
