After last night's wod, Kyle asked someone if she could feel the K2Es in her core...quick re-run through the wod in my mind, because I didn't feel a thing. The only thing that hurt was my hands. Did I not actually do what I was supposed to? I was far from a real K2E, but I was pretty sure I was doing a scaled version. But I felt nothing...
I am happy to report that I feel it today. Every. single. time. I laugh, cough or sneeze I feel it.
In an effort to not get depressed about not making a couple hundred Christmas cookies, I tried making some paleo cookies today. They are delicious. :)
Coconut Walnut Cookies
1/4 c. coconut oil
1/4 c. agave nectar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. almond flour or meal
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 c. walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 c. coconut flakes
1/4 c. dried, chopped fruit
In a large bow mix the oil, agave and vanilla. In a smaller bowl, blend all of the dry ingredients: almond flour, salt, baking soda, walnuts, coconuts, and fruit. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix completely. Drop by the teaspoonful on to a baking sheet lined with parchment. The batter is pretty crumbly, so just kind of squish the batter together. Flatten the cookies slightly and be sure to space as they do spread a bit. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes.
Notes: Trader Joe's has agave nectar and almond meal for the best price. I'm going to try these again with less agave and we'll see how that works!
Wow Leah. I can't believe I stumbled onto your blog via google and a search for coconut paleo cookies! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty awesome, but I would avoid the agave, it is controversial, but I have found out it is actually processed like HFCS! Not paleo. :]
I am going to try this with dates and/or honey and bring you one by the gym! BTW: I made some amazing macadamia cookies that are from heaven!
See you at West Sista!
