Tasty on Facebook, recipes on Pinterest, the odd and unusual items in my pantry and the baking bug that hits me at least once a week – yup! \u00a0It’s official …I am \u00a0addicted to healthy, unusually combined odd food. \u00a0Not the normal run of the mill North American meat and potato variety. \u00a0Rather, \u00a0I love unusual, deliciously rare and healthy foods – and I also lean a little to the exciting, kinky side of food prep.<\/p>\n
Take today for example. \u00a0I found a new recipe online – brownies. \u00a0Who doesn’t love sweet, luscious creamy chocolatey brownies? \u00a0And the ingredients are a subtle blend of all that is good for you without letting my meat and potato fans know they are eating dates, walnuts and avocados in their dessert! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I think maybe the variety of flavors \u00a0are what intrigue me the most, and I go to great lengths to satisfy fussy palates in a healthy way. \u00a0I love the idea of combining walnuts, dates, coconut oil and cocoa to make a brownie base and then avocado, honey, vanilla, and more cocoa for the creamy icing. \u00a0No baking, just pat base into a lined pan, cover with the creamy, chocolatey, finger-licking good topping, Chill for an hour or so and Voila! \u00a0Brownies you can serve anyone, anywhere\u00a0snickering to yourself, hoping they will leave you some. \u00a0After all, your addiction is creating such fun for you and such delightful, delicious desserts for them.<\/p>\n
So, do you have picky eaters in your home? \u00a0Do you wish they would eat foods you know will be good for their growing bodies and healthy strong minds? \u00a0Do you like to have fun hiding delightful nutrition and watching them gobble it up? \u00a0Or has it gotten tedious, every mealtime a chore of looking for recipes only to see them turn their noses up time and time again?<\/p>\n
Let me give you a hint how I handle the picky palates. \u00a0I make exciting interesting foods that don’t stray too far from something I know they like – brownies are a good example. \u00a0I look carefully at the ingredients to be sure I love them all. Then, I am always excited in\u00a0the process of creating them because I really look forward\u00a0to tasting the end result. \u00a0It isn’t even about the picky palates any more, \u00a0in the end it is more about me. \u00a0I love making the healthy delicious food, I love eating the healthy delicious food, and I appreciate the time I take to do so. \u00a0Not for them… but for me. \u00a0But I will share… if they want. \u00a0Yup! Addicted.<\/p>\n
So\u00a0get excited, do what you love;\u00a0\u00a0and you will be amazed how well you automatically end up\u00a0sharing joy with others, inspiring them towards better self care too.<\/p>\n
until next time….<\/p>\n
