Dreams are so weird. Well, mine are. Since I’m really weird. I had almost a nightmare the other night. Let’s psychological babble this stuff out. Ok, so Laura went out on the town on Saturday night. As did I, BUT I got home by midnight. So I passed out far before she got home. So when I heard her come back in the house, I woke up for a brief second then passed back out. Well I’m guessing this little awakening led me into a frightening dream. Here we go. So I dreamt that Laura came in the house with 5 or 6 friends, I got nervous they would come into my room so I got up, ran to my bedroom door to shut it, then fell head first into my hamper, butt.ass.naked. All her friends saw and stared at my bum and the goods as I flailed around hoping to get out of the hamper. Thank god none of this ever happened.
After all this jazz of a dream occurred, I woke up. And I woke up with a vengeance. I woke up choking. I think I literally scared the air out of myself. Straight up no air into my lungs. I couldn’t breathe. I sounded like a bugel horn. I don’t know what that sounds like. But that’s how I imagine it. Took me about 30 seconds to be able to breathe again. Then I sat there, frightened by the sound of myself, on the end of my bed, wondering what the f*ck just happened.
That story sucked.
I figured something out. Something I kind of already knew. Whole Foods on a Sunday night. OMGhotdudes. I stood in line and pretty much checked the guy out behind me approximately 46 times, none of which he noticed. I suck. I see why all the women in Whole Foods wear heels while at the store. They’re on the prowl. I need to work on what I dress myself in. I had a headband on, with spandex, no makeup, searching for some sort of delicious source of fat. That wasn’t covered in chocolate. I miss you chocolate. Only 3 more weeks.
OMG I’m excited to find out what the 3rd wod is for the CrossFit Open!! Are you?!

I made these last night and brought them to my box this morning and they were an absolute HIT!!!! Everyone loved them – I made the morning coaches promise they would save some for the afternoon coaches because they were going so fast! Thanks for another amazing dish!
Hope they liked it!!
Can i use coconut milk instead of concentrate?
It’s actually not the same thing. Have you ever tried to make your own coconut butter? That’s the same as concentrate
Just dipped in to the batch I made last night…whoa! Soooo good! Definitely a re-make, thank you lady
Glad you liked them Rebecca!
Just made these tonight, sooo good! I had to make my own almond butter, which took forever, but they were delish. Thanks for the great recipes! 🙂
Glad you liked it Ceebs!
Made these today using an 8×8. A bit too thick and almond butter tasting. I think the 9×9 would be much better. Easy to make and very good favors!
Good to know, thanks for commenting Erica!!
This is in my refrigerator right now chillin’
I can’t wait to try it. I’m thinking I am going to have to take the leftovers to work with me tomorrow. 🙂 I might have a piece for breakfast too.
Hope you liked it Jamee!
Hot damn, these are good. I omitted the honey from the crust and just used honey with the apple topping. Next time I’m going to leave it out entirely. All the flavor combos are AMAZING and don’t need extra sweetness, in my opinion.
Thanks for a great recipe!! I’m definitely going to put this into rotation, for sure!
that’s awesome to hear!! Glad you liked them!
I was craving these last night and made a special trip to the store for apples. I got home and found I was COMPLETELY out of dates. I too am a food hoarder, so this was kind of impressive…but still annoying.
Anyway, I did have raisins, and I used about a cup of those. I also tried my “honey free” idea…and everything turned out a-ok. Thanks for such a solid recipe, that it can even stand up to subs like that.
That’s awesome!! Glad it still worked out!
I made these last night and oh my are they easy, and DELICIOUS!!! Thanks “JB”! I also brought them into the office for two of my co-workers and then enjoyed my “weird Paleo treats” that they devoured instantly. Success all around
Glad you liked them Chris!
Just finished making these, waited my 40 minutes, and they are awesome! Did take a bit of effort using the ninja blender in place of the food processor, but the end result is worth the work. Thanks for the recipe!
Haha get a food processor Erik!! Make your life easier!
LUH-HUH-VED this!!! It’s like an apple pie, but actually better!!! Gonna try it with some heirloom apples I have – can’t wait!! Thanks for the awesomeness!!
totally is like apple pie huh?! Glad you liked it!
