Loved your “S.A.D.” idea!
And I really liked your way to celebrate V-day!
It´s probably much more fun doing whatever you want, right?
Have a great Monday!
Brazilian XOXO,
Gabriela

I never heard the term SAD before… but I am usually happiest when I am single, haha

Your PB and chocolate cherry cups look yummy

Have a great day and good luck on your 10 mile run!

Haha…I’ve never heard of S.A.D. until now. Although I like the idea of it, I don’t know if I like how it spells “sad.” I’m single and happy.

Now S.A.D. is a holiday I can get behind. You know what else I can get behind? Roasted golden beets. They’re a bit tricky to find, but totally worth it when you do get your hands on some.

Glad you’re living up the coconut ice cream too!

Ah I wish I’d read this post on the official SAD Day, instead of the 15th! Darn time difference…maybe I’ll make today my SAD Day instead!?
Love the squash maple snack thing, that looks sooo good!!

Hot diggity to this: vegan coconut cherry dark chocolate cups!
Oh my. Yes. Bring it! I can’t wait! I need to submit some recipes too but all that typing is just not appealing to me I type too many comments to actually earn my keep and maybe put my keystrokes to better use. ha!

Anyway golden beets, brussels, acorn squash. Nice! Dark meat from ethically raised animals is a powerhouse. But you already know that.

Ok so I have just made up 3 separate batches of raw coconut oil choc bars.
1st no where near sweet enough, 2nd really nice consistency and sweet enough but barely 3rd, going to be plenty sweet but it was thin and is settting up in the freezer. I am really impressed that you can rock out only like 1 Tbsp of Agave to 2 Tbsp of cocoa powder, b/c obvi the coconut oil itself isnt sweet. The 1:2 ratio is sometimes just too bitter for me. 1.5 Tbsp agave to 2 cocoa powder is more my speed. If I make is 2 Tbsp each, it’s almost too sweet and too runny. Sorry to ramble

Oh and S.A.D….I had no idea. I used to work in bars and would make TONS of tips on VDay. All the lonely hearts that werent curled up w/ choc were out getting drunk LOL
