Yep. Face is stillllllllll peeling. It’s really great. I just love it. Why wouldn’t I want to spend 3+ hours in the mirror a day picking at my face? Yes I know I’m not suppose to pick. But I look like Benjamin in his old/young days. That made no sense. I look like BenjieB when he was born and look like an 80 year old. Raking in those dudes. That’s all I do.
So last night, I curled up in my bed, happy as a clam then woke up rested AND STARVING. So I meandered on over to the kitchen to make some delicious coffee and decided to get balls deep in some peanut butter. I know it’s not paleo ya d*ck. But I felt like eating half my body weight in fat was the smart thing to do. Oh and I ate this coconut dessert recipe by Elana that I made over the weekened…on a Saturday night…by myself. Yeah, I’m THAT cool. But anyways, while consuming this peanut butter and coconut dessert, sometimes at the same time, I glanced over at the clock to find out….it was 2:45am. I was eating my body weight in fat at 2:45am. I felt like a failure. Then was pissed I had to go back to sleep. I’m like a drunken mess, minus the drunk part.
So I’m really trying to figure out what the hell I’m doing on Twitter. Still. I don’t exactly understand some of the things people are saying. I feel like how my parents must feel when I’m talking to them about CrossFit and it sounds like code. Reading some people’s Tweets and RT’s and #FF’s just doesn’t all make sense. I literally keep having to google what some of these trends mean. I’m 23 years old people. I should be pr-tothe-ofessional. But instead I find myself going into the ‘Help’ section on my Twitter account, daily. Or sometimes I text my friend Diego to ask him what the hell I’m doing. He’s a Tweet pro. Then I just hashtag every single word. What do you mean #of isn’t a trend?! You know nothing.
Wanna know what hands down is my favorite “paleo” chocolate cake in the world??! No, I’m not even kidding. I would honestly make this then hide it in my room, under my bed, just so Laura couldn’t have any. I’m that desperate for chocolate cake. It’s seriously THAT good. Check out this Easy Black and White Cake by Elana. If you’re pissed because it has white chocolate chips in it, you’re high. It’s totally worth it. I dream about it. My mouth is literally salivating as I type. I need to be careful. Salivating onto your keyboard is dangerous. Believe me, I would know.

Mmmmmmmmm!!!! I just made this and it’s amazing!!! I really wanted to eat this and I had no cashews, but that didn’t stop me! I dry roasted hazelnuts and almonds as my substitute and it is super yummy!! So yummy I have already packed half in a seperate container to give to my friend so I dont eat the whole thing lol. Thanks for all your great recipes! My friends and I have been thoroughly enjoying them!! Keep’m coming!!
That sounds freaking awesome Sarah!! Go you!
Just had this for dessert! Amazing!
Glad you liked it Lindsay!
That looks awesome. We just went Paleo & are finding snacks a challenge- also I can give that to my kids since I’m refusing to buy Nutella after I read the label
Yeah that’s a perfect substitute OR you could always make it with hazelnuts and make your own nutella!
Are you supposed to store it in the fridge or is it OK on the counter? It gets rock hard in the fridge, but it has no preservatives… Maybe the answer is to eat it in a day?
Lol I’ll keep it in the fridge and sometimes the pantry, just depending how long it will last. If you put it in the fridge then you can just pull it out to thaw
Curses!! Damn this is good! Love your blog. Thanks for all your awesome recipes.
Thanks so much Nicolette!
Made this again, 2nd time around changed it up and used walnuts and walnut oil. I also threw in a tsp of espresso powder with the cocoa powder. OMG I think I ate 4 tbsp before it made it into the jar. Shame on me. Oh so good. And you are a Paleo culinary genius.
That’s why you never measure Alicia, then you’ll never know!
I think your website should be called paleomfg. I’m sure I’m not the first to say that, I haven’t read all your posts, but I’m going to assume that’s not original. This is the first time EVER that I’ve posted on a blog (and I read a lot of them) and I just had to because this stuff is amazing. I have a love/hate relationship with you for introducing me to it. Keep rockin’ it.
Lol you’re the most original person ever!! For reals though, thank you so much!
Juli-
The issue I’m having is that once I refrigerate it, it becomes rock solid. How long can I keep it out for before it spoils?
Kat-it will be fine out on the counter for a week or so if it’s in a sealed container!
