natural living: guilt-free dessert

you guys, i'm a sucker for dessert. it's really my worst quality, my sweet tooth. luckily i'm not too picky, and i can enjoy fake desserts, too! i wanted to share two of my absolute favorites with you.

first up is "cookie dough dip". and you guys, if you love cookie dough, and always barely have enough leftover to actually bake the cookies, you will love this. it's meant to be eaten "raw", and filled with great ingredients like garbanzo beans... yes, i know. plus almond butter and agave as a sweetener. but don't be intimidated, you can use peanut butter and brown sugar if you want. i could eat an entire batch in one sitting, and knowing what's in it [or what's not in it, more like] makes it that much more tempting!

my second fave? "black bean brownies". yep, you read that right. you can tell these aren't your regular old gooey fudge brownies from the betty crocker box. but that's okay. knowing what i'm eating makes it so much easier to indulge guilt-free!

find the full recipe on Fancy Little Things.

i hope you run to the store and try these right away. i wholeheartedly believe that, all things considered, you'll love both of them. a lot.

and this is my prayer ...

i've been reading Philippians 1:1-11 all week. each day, looking for new things. i've actually never done this before. i usually focus on quantity : how much can i read each day . now i'm focussing on quality : how much Truth and insight can i glean from just a few verses . next week i'll read verses 12-18 all week. i'm following this guideline [as part of that "maximize your mornings challenge" that i'm doing, remember? best thing ever.] anyway, since i've read it a million times this week, and have had the time to just meditate on every last beautiful word, i just had to share this with you. feel free to print: [click on it to make it bigger, and then save and print] also, it occurred to me to make a few different colors. so here ya go :) maybe green? or blue or aqua? i sure hope one of these works for you!
