I swear I eat food other than sweets. I swear. Kind of.
I had another CrossFit cert this weekend. CrossFit kids. Which is weird, since I don’t like kids. At all. I like teenagers. No wait, I like CrossFit teenagers. Like my friend Addie. She’s epic. She’s 17, 95lbs, and got 64 reps at wod 12.2. That means she did 30 snatches at 45lbs, 30 snatches at 75lbs, and 4 snatches at 100lbs. She snatched OVER HER BODY WEIGHT. That is ridiculously incredible. I love CrossFit teenagers. Ok, mainly just her.
Guess what I’m doing this week?! Going to Boston! Well then to New Hampshire. More New Hampshire than Boston. I’ll be working with AgainFaster making some cooking videos! How fun is that!? If you didn’t know, I write a monthly blog post for them! I like to talk about body stuff and CrossFit stuff. You know, the best stuff.
Ok, we need to talk about something. I didn’t eat chocolate for a long, long time. A long time for me at least. Like 4 or 5 weeks. I was suppose to go until after the open, but I gave in. I got sick of it. I had a bet that I wouldn’t eat chocolate until after the CrossFit Open and threw it all out the door with one week left. Failure to the max. But I really didn’t care. It was heaven. I got dark chocolate covered walnuts and was instantly a better person. Meaning more fun to be around.
How was your St. Patty’s Day?! Was it filled with booze? Mine was spent at my parents house then on the couch watching movies on the Oxygen channel. But when I woke up early on Sunday morning, and there were literally 3 souls in the park versus the normal thousands, I was quite happy everyone was hungover. And not me. It’s so strange to me that we have built in drinking holidays. No, they weren’t created specifically for that most likely, but that’s what they’ve turned into. Have you ever heard someone say you’re either a alcohol person or a food person? I’m SOOOOOOOO a food person. I’d much MUCH rather consume my calories from a dead animal versus fermented grapes. Alcohol tastes like ass, dark chocolate tastes like pure heaven. Factual info right there.

My oldest sons favorite is buttermilk /chocolate chip mini muffins (or waffles) . I havent made either in forevvvvver, I bet he would adore these! They look fantastic.
I ate 5! So good! My husband was lucky enough to get one and he says it is his favorite Paleo desert thus far (he is not Paleo). I also left out the sweetener and it was still good and sweet from the chocolate chips.
These were great, even the non-primal brood enjoyed them. I ate half of them. 🙂
I made these a FEW times now! Freakin’ AHHHMMMAAAAZZZIIINNNGG. I didn’t have any cashew butter and used hazelnut butter… tastes just like Nutella! Your recipes are awesome! And, I love your entertaining posts 🙂
This is Debbie’s daughter :)OMG! I made these and they taste SOO good! They’re still cooling….but I tried a piece. I cannot wait to try them with the chocolate glaze! Mmmmmm :p
I was craving a chocolate dessert and wanted something easy. I made these last night (so easy and quick!) and drowned them in that chocolate glaze- amazing! And the best part?
Today, after being refrigerated, they taste like a Chocolate Covered DONUT!! Maybe even better this way!
Thanks for all the great recipes!
(Only change: I used Justin’s Maple Almond Butter because it’s what I had).
Awesome! My family and I just started Paleo…like literally this is day 4…but we already feel better. My middle daughter’s 2nd birthday is coming up. I think I might try these. See if everyone can tell they are not “normal” cupcakes lol
SO GOOOOOOD! WHAT COULD YOU USE INSTEAD OF CASHEW BUTTER? I dont eat nuts.
sunflower seed butter
Made these for a bridal shower this weekend… I have never had more people interested in my eating habits after they tried these and loved them. Thank you!
finally got around to making these today.. SOO yummy!! the only problem I had was the cupcakes sticking to the liners, leaving me to gnaw a good amount of cupcake from the liner 🙁 any tips on how to prevent sticking?
