Crap. I’m addicted to a new show. And it’s put me in a terrible mood. Not because it’s not freaking awesome, because it is, but because it’s extremely addictive and I didn’t go to bed until 1am because I couldn’t stop watching the first three episodes from the first season. Damn you, Homeland. You’ve got me hooked.
But since I didn’t sleep that much, my attitude was a bit in the sh*tter yesterday. I wanted to do stuff but I didn’t want to do stuff. What? That doesn’t even make sense. I blame it on my monthly gift coming soon. Ew. Don’t you hate when I talk about that stuff? Jokes on you!! I’m a bit on the grumpy side. Ever wonder if anger, food cravings, and mood issues are actually due to pms or just something women have created in their own minds because of social norms. Commercials pretty much tell us to crave food and to feel bloated and grumpy, so are these feelings real or is it the good ole’ placebo effect? Riddle me that.
It snowed here. It’s cold. And icy as fuuuuu. And when it’s this cold, all I want to do is bake. And some of my favorite baked goods come from the website Health-Bent and their cookbook Primal Cravings. The other day, I made their Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins, which I dropped all of into the oven as I pulled them out (awesome), then I made their Dirty Blondies. They are both to die for. I’ve been pretty much constantly full for 2 days, but I just see it as I need to chow down before I hibernate. It makes complete sense. It’s suppose to be a bad winter. My car is even creaking. And I have those huge ice mounds stuck under my wheel well. It’s cold enough that when you kick the ice mound hoping to feel the satisfaction of hearing fall to the ground, you break your toenail instead. Winter is just lovely.
I have big plans this weekend. Not really, but I actually have some sort of plans which doesn’t happen often. I don’t like doing much on the weekends, pretty much because I’m a bore. But this weekend, I’m trying a new restaurant, watching at least 5 episodes of Homeland, watch people wakeboard in the freezing cold, drink hot cider, workout, then dinner and the second Hunger Games. I’m exhausted already.

Looks like Christmas to me! Nom nom
I just made these. So easy. So good. The pomegranate is so tangy and bright with the contrast of the chocolate. I used fresh pomegranate and it turned out great.
Love your recipes!! This looks awesome! Love Homeland, can’t wait for 9 tonight. It gets better every season. And way TMI but have you considered an IUD? They’re fabulous too.
I just made this and it is delicious! Even added some chopped walnuts. I’m curious about storing it. Do I have to leave it in the freezer or can I keep in fridge?

I adore your personality! I was born and raised in Colorado and now reside in Arizona. Crazy to say, but I miss the cold (seasons). I actually live through your blog to fulfill my cold weather withdrawls. Your sense of humor is just the icing on the cake. Keep doing what you’re doing…its awesome! P.S. I can’t tell you how many times I hurt my toenails on that damn ice! Too funny. 🙂
Big hit paleo and non paleo people. Super easy to make, the only thing that took any time was the peeling of the pomegranate. Loved this. My only tip, wear a black shirt and expect some spray from pom seeds when you break up bark. Also be careful eating for same reason 🙂
Made the recipe exactly and will be giving as a semi-paleo hostess gift for Thanksgiving. Looks and tastes gorgeous.
This was amazing. Just did a small batch before making this on Thanksgiving. THANK YOU!!
I made it. It was (because I ate it all), amazing! I added some sprinkled Himalayan Pink salt on top. OMG.
