Long Lunch Date Weekend Recap
Howdy do all. Back at the top of the week again. Why are the weekends barreling at warp speed this year? Sigh. Saturday we did what was essentially a 3 hour lunch date. I couldn't handle being around the house anymore this weekend and we live in the center of "no exciting places to road trip" central. We headed to Portillo's and there's a little park we like to walk at since it was a nice day. Then we basically turned around and headed home after being there for 2 hours. I know, a lot of time wasted for that but once we got there, it was nice to see other scenery and eat different food. What wasn't nice was the fact that because I didn't have a project or TV show for distraction, I was in a pretty heavy mental spiral. The projects have been coping mechanisms for some serious Mom stuff coming up, job worries are kicking into high gear, frustration with trying to keep all of these seedlings alive , the house being a total mess, knowing our cancell...
I can vouch for these. They are delicious and make a great snack. I keep mine in my lunch cooler with everything else and typically wait until about 2 PM for that extra little boost in the afternoon time when everyone else starts circling the vending machines at work.

If I had tried to create something like this I would have used waaaaay to much cocoa/sweetener. This definitely looks like something I could make and portion and leave at school for after school snacks some days.

ReplyDeleteYum! I've had cocoa ones and I've had bold spicy ones and I like them both. What I cannot eat is plain old almonds with nothing on them. I attempted to do this a few weeks ago and I gagged through it. I did buy some raspberry ones, but have not had the courage to try them yet. I'm not a "nut" fan for the most part, but am trying to branch out and eat them because I know there are health benefits. I like this recipe a lot -- into my SATW recipe file it goes! =o)
