Chocolate Macadamia Clusters – Yoga Food Friday

Good old Vegan Planet comes up big yet again! My Yoga Teacher Training class has a slight alteration to my Began cooking in that I need to strive for gluten free as well. That way everyone can enjoy. After scouring the Internets for a new recipie I went to old trust VP and found gold:
Chocolate Macadamia Clusters

1.5 cups pitted organic dates softened in warm water
1.5 cups macadamia nuts chopped
0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup coconut flakes

I went a bit off recipie with the nuts. VP calls for only making 0.5 cups into a powder and keeping 1 cup chopped set aside. Well I am too lazy to chop nuts by hand. I much prefer to put all my nuts into the food processor and just grind… Oh boy that didn’t sound good. Well you get my point.

Add drained soft dates to powdered nuts and continue to mix. Add cocoa and vanilla and mix well.

In you palm roll out 1 inch balls and press on the coconut in a plate to coat.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate. Will last up to 2 weeks in fridge.

I was amazed at how much better these are than store bought pre made clusters.

Chilly morning – South Mountain Sunrise Hike

Completed the 4th week of sunrise hikes with the sister and we were greeted with a nice chilly morning. Felt much less creaky this morning which told me that a few days of rest with easier yoga and plenty of sleep was very needed.

We were the first car into the park right after the ranger opened the gate. That means we were their early. Like pre sunrise early.

We hit the dark trail with sleep still in the eyes. My mind was still rolling with dreams and questions about recent events. Doubts were replaced with breathing and the sounds of nature. We made the ridge well before sunrise and saw only two others on the trail.

Time for a great Thursday.

Rattlers on the road – sunrise hikes at south mountain

While there was contentment with sleeping in till 6am today I knew that getting out on the trail was the best thing for me right now. After a few snoozes the sister knocked on the door:
“you up?”
“yeah” with a considerable amount of meekness I croaked.

Not much conversation in the car we listened to NPR talking about how the best paying degrees are still for engineering. More of the vocationalization of higher education. “lookie all my stuff!”

Hit the trail and every fiber of my body complained. Took a deep breath and strode on into the blue light of pre dawn. Started feeling better after a few minutes and conversation about what’s going on flowed as we meandered up the road. No EMD this morning as he is recovering from a skin irritation.

Ran into a nice surprise a bit more than halfway to Mormon Trail when a baby rattler made it’s way across the road. Snaped a shot of it for evidence and we made our way on up.

The ridgeline greeted us amicably with the first fingers of sunlight crawling over Four Peaks as we made the first summit. From there it was downhill and we started talking about rim to rim. Thinking of walking Rock and Roll to prepare.

Happy Tuesday!
