Coconut Choco Boppers


Today I made cookies!

Not just any cookies! I made,  Grain Free, Soy Free, Dairy, and Nut free cookies!

I do not count butter as dairy.

These are my Coconut Choco Boppers! 

Hoo wants some?!



Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour (I used the self serve coconut flour at Whole Foods)
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/16 tsp Salt (I just eyed half of a 1/8 tsp)
2 Tbs  Enjoy Life™ Mini Chips
(feel free to add pecans, berries, or whatever your taste buds desire)


How to make (very simple):
Mix the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt together.

Add in the coconut flour, chocolate chips,
and if you are using coconut shavings add that as well.

Grab a normal spoon and dollop a little into the palm of your hand and roll each spoonful into a ball (this is important or it gets really flaky.)

Bake at 375F (190 Degree C) got 10 minutes.

Cool them just little bit. I like to eat them while they are still warm inside!

Makes ~12 Choco Boppers!


It has been a while since I had sweets and this definitely hit the spot -- maybe a little too well. 
I may or may not have already eaten five...

Going Banana's



So, as many of my friends and family know, I have food allergies. 
No dairy
No soy
and definitely 
NO GLUTEN!

So while here in beautiful Hawaii all I wanted was some cold ice cream. 

Usually at home I eat So delicious™ Coconut Milk Ice cream
(it is soooo delicious)

But their wasn't any on the island so I decided to improvise. 

Banana Ice Cream! 
(can I call it that considering there is not cream it?)

Step 1: Obtain Banana

Step 2: Freeze Banana
Step 3: Peel/ Chop up Banana after running under hot water
Step 4: Put chopped up banana in blender/food processor 


 Step 5: Continue to blend until smooth
(I added a tsp of water to speed up the process)


 Step 6: Transfer to cup or bowl

Step 7: (optional) I mixed in some peanut butter.
(but I would love to try Nutella, or chocolate chips, or other mix ins)


Step 8: Throw the cup/bowl back in the freezer for ~2 hours


AND EAT! It is delicious! 
It has the same consistency as ice cream but is more healthy. 

Im excited to experiment some more with this and mix ins.

Hope you are all are having a lovely week. 
I am loving Hawaii but 
 I am excited to get home and take some more fashion pictures.
