If I asked you right now, 'what is your deepest desire in life?'
how would you answer?
Would you say: I want to travel the world for the rest of my days.
I want to raise five kids with my spouse in a house overflowing with love.
I want to win the lottery and never have to work again a day in my life.
I want to create a charity to help people who are going through a hardship that I've personally experienced.
I want to open a flower shop!
My next question would be, 'why?'
Have you thought about that?
Thought about why what you want is what you want. How did that desire end up in your heart?
Do you want five kids that you can create traditions and memories with to keep the spirit of your mom alive years after she's gone? To create magic for others the way it's been created for you?
Do you want to travel the world to learn from people and cultures you wouldn't otherwise? To see if the way you're living on a daily basis is the way you want to- to discover that there could be something you're missing?
Do you want to open a flower shop for the feeling you get when you come home to a bouquet of fresh lively flowers on your kitchen table?
What aren't you doing? Why aren't you doing it?
If you can boil your deepest desire down to a few sentences- PLEASE share it with me! Drop it in the comments, send me a dm-- let's talk about it over some cookies and milk.
Double Chocolate Cookies (Vegan/Gluten Free)
Makes 16
2/3 C refined coconut oil
1/3 C almond milk
2 TBSP applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 C GF AP flour
1/4 C brown rice flour
1/2 C old fashioned oats
1 C sugar
3/4 C cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 oz chocolate bar, chopped
In a medium bowl, whisk the coconut oil, almond milk, applesauce and vanilla until combined.
In a larger bowl, whisk the gluten free flour blend, brown rice flour, sugar, oats, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet then fold in the chopped chocolate bits.
Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and bake at 350 for about 8 minutes (they will look underdone). Allow to cool before removing from tray or they will fall apart in your hands!
