Writing and Chocolate
April 1, 2010GAAAD!
I finally create my writing space and it’s GREAT! In fact, it’s so great that now the kids want to hang out there, too. With me. While I’m writing.
Every few minutes, or less, one will ask me to read aloud. So, I did what any good teacher would do: I bribed them with chocolate. Granted, it was healthy, homemade Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free Chocolate, but still. Tomorrow’s lesson: Boundaries.
Recipe for Good, Medicinal Chocolate
1 cup raw cacao powder
1 cup virgin (or extra virgin) coconut oil (or only 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup coconut butter)
1/3 (or more to taste) cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
Melt the oil. Add the cacao powder. Stir in the syrup. Add vanilla and salt. Refrigerate. Eat in about 30 minutes. Voila!
Can you sub cacao powder for that chocolate powder?
Oops, I meant to type cacao powder. I’ve corrected it above. Thanks for asking.
Cool you inspire me. I’m thinking about writing one maybe on my struggle to loose weight or about my life. Still thinking. Keep it up. Great Poem.
