Sunday Funday!

Yesterday Brandon and I received our first order of Thunderbird Energetica Bars. They were good and definitely filled us up until our late lunch. We tried one while we were setting up at church this morning. We split the Cocoa Hemp Walnut bar with a cup of coffee!


After church, we came home with every intention of working in the yard and cleaning house but I got in the kitchen and started experimenting. While Brandon grilled us some asparagus and Old Bay Tilapia, I made Rosemary Garlic Mashed Cauliflower and a Double Chocolate Cookie Pie. 

Crust 
1 Cup Almond Flour
1 Tbs Raw Honey
1 tsp Palm Sugar
2 Tbs Grass- Fed Butter, melted

Mix well and roll into a ball. Grease a 9" Pie plate. Place the ball of dough into the pie plate. Hand form the dough into the shape of the plate. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Filling
1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
2 Tbs Raw Honey
2 Tbs Grass- Fed butter, melted
1 Tbs Dark Cocoa
1/2 Cup Dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup walnuts (optional)
1 Egg
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Mix the dry ingredients in a mixer until well blended. In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Add to the dry and mix until well blended.  Add Chocolate Chips and walnuts (optional)
Pour mixture into the pie crust.

Bake in the oven on 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

After a delicious meal like this, we had the energy and stamina to go out and get the yard cleaned up. Work inside for spring cleaning: vacuum, dust, laundry and dishes. Brandon even got time to go to a wetsuit demo in Leesburg while I ran/walked 5 miles with my cousin! What a way to enjoy this beautiful March day.
