This weekend didn’t feel like a weekend. Probably because I was stuck inside for most of it. It snowed like 3 feet. Not really, probably like 16 inches, but I’m pretty sure my car only comes 5 inches off the ground, no it’s not a ghetto low rider, well maybe, but I seriously couldn’t even pull onto the street. I spent 30 minutes cleaning off my car to only make it 2 feet into the street. Ok, that was an exaggeration. I made it like 4 inches into the street. So my friend Sergio had to take me under his wing and drive me everywhere. I love feeling 15 again. Relying on others to grocery shop, work, and workout is really fulfilling.
But the weekend still turned out pretty fun. Laura, Sergio and I played the 3 best friends card and did everything together. We went to breakfast together, went grocery shopping together, then helped each other pick out outfits. Well Sergio sat there and rolled his eyes as I took 12 shirts out of my closet. I hate dressing up. My PaleOMG shirts are way easier to sport. And my boobs are way more comfortable in sports bras. You just can’t always wear a sports bra with real people clothes. Dumb.
So I wore my big girl bra to a show we went to see downtown. We saw Passion Pit or Passion Pit’s DJ or a person from Passion Pit. I don’t really know. I think I’ve heard like 2 Passion Pit songs so I didn’t really know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised by feeling like an old fart. The venue was bumping with teenagers who were excited to get out of their parents house and be able to dry hump while on hallucinogenic drugs. What better way to spend your Saturday night eh?!?! Drugs are weird. Teenagers making out while trying to dance to some kind of beat is weirder.
Guess what else I did this weekend?! Sweated my ass off while shoveling our sidewalk. Maybe we shouldn’t have waited until it was complete ice slush. And when I say we, I mean me. Laura sat and watched. And took pictures. I did an overhead squat with a shovel just to be really creative and original. I should send that pic into the main site. I’M SURE they would totally use it. Wanna see it?! Sh*t yeah you do.
I’m watching Dirty Dancing. I love watching movies that I’ve seen a hundred times. They get more corny every time I watch them. This guy just walked up to Baby and said ‘This danish is pure protein”….like what? Missing some of those lines in movies makes me really develop of disappointment in myself. A line like THAT and all I remember is ‘Nobody puts Baby in the corner’?? That’s stupid. You disappoint me JB.
OH!!! And I did handstands in my house. No big deal.
Sweet Potato Brownies
- Yield: 5-8 1x
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Time to bake that sweet potato. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, use a fork to puncture holes all around it, then throw in the oven for 25-30 minutes. (I’m sure you could microwave it, but I like the ole fashioned way. I’m just so ole fashioned)
- Once your sweet potato is soft and cooked through, peel off the skin and mash it up in a bowl. And turn your oven down to 350 degrees.
- Now add your wet ingredients: eggs, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla to the bowl and mix together.
- Then add your dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips.
- Mix well to incorporate all that goodness.
- Pour into an 8×8 glass baking dish
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Let rest to cool a bit.
- Eat those b*tches. Try not to eat them all in one sitting. Like what may have happened in my kitchen….oops.

j.bauer. Im moving in…that way you dont have to do things like eat all the brownies at once. all parties would benefit. im here for you. clear the extra space.
Perfect. My 5×5 bedroom can always use more people. My teddy bear is already a bit claustrophic but it’s fine. But Casey, ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?! Kidding. kind of.
You have no idea how you just made Will’s life!
I think you’ve made my year with these brownies. Can’t wait to try them!
I don’t know who Will is, but I’m pumped about making his life! Let me know how u like them!!
Will is the guy deadlifting in your lovely PaleOMG tank! Well played on both parts!
I’m a smart one. Well played
Can I use regualr all purpose flour? I dont have coconut flour, and wanted to try this recipe tonight. I have all the other ingredients.
No idea haven’t tried it
I’m probably going to fail out of grad school, and it’s going to be your fault. Why? Oh, only because I’m supposed to be reading about word fluency, but instead I’m reading about sweet potato brownies. Word fluency, or brownies? The choice is obvi….but I doubt my professors will agree. Amateurs. Oh and I also hate wearing big girl bras. And real clothes. I think all pants should come with a roll over yoga waistband so I can hide my muffin tops and perpetual food baby with ease and grace. Just sayin’!
If you fail out, maybe you can just become a cook instead? Sounds like a good plan to me. I love fold over waistbands. Jeans without them (so any sort of non maternity jeans) suck
I kind of regret finding your blog…I’ve been reading it for almost an hour now at work. Who is productive on Mondays anyway, tho? Making these brownies this week!
Hold your tongue Tiffany!!! Mondays were creative to read blogs…u didn’t know that?
I think I love you for this recipe. No, really. I started reading it and said it out loud, alone, sitting in my office. I think I love you.
I love you too Jocelyn. Wanna cook together to establish our love?
It’s a date! 🙂
Brownies…finally, my favorite food. If only I had this recipe last night before I gave in and had a bowl of ice cream with crumbled thin mint girl scout cookies. Terrible idea. Been following your blog for about a month….DON’T EVER STOP!
Never again Taryn!
I practiced handstands inside this weekend too! Love the sound of these brownies, they would be seriously dangerous to have around here!
Super dangerous
Dang, girl! You are a BOSS! When you said you were gonna make these, I thought I’d have to wait at least a couple weeks for a recipe to be posted…you rock!!! I finish Whole 30 in SIX days and these are def gonna be one of my first treats! I cannot WAIT. Btw, I heard shovels are totally the new barbells. 😉
Shoveling brownies into my mouth is the new barbells? Totes
Why must you tempt me? WHY?! Because it’s damn tasty, that’s why. Looks awesome, can’t wait to try it.
Super good Karen!! Can’t wait for you to try them!
I just made these and they smell so flipping good. Can’t wait to try one! (or 2)
