I have re-discovered my romance with cooking/baking/chopping anything up. Last night I whipped up some yummy "Not-nola: grain free granola".

Chi focused. Soul happy. And not to mention, a butt-load of Whole30 approved snacking.

Concluded last night that dreams are made of the following:

1. The brand of shredded coconut I bought for this (I can't remember the name to save my life though).

2. Roasted hazelnuts and macadamia nuts.

3. Sunflower Market's pumpkin pie spice blend.

If you want to make this blend of the gods you can find the recipe here.

I also made a yummy crock pot meal consisting of chicken, sweet potatoes, red onions, garlic, cinnamon, salt and pepper. It made for a super satisfying lunch today topped with some cilantro. Me so happy...

but I am already dearly missing my dark chocolate and peanut butter.

30 days... not forever... at least that is what I keep telling myself.
