Happy Work it out Wednesday!
The Morselist is slowly getting back in the kitchen

now that dad is on his road to recovery after his recent

heart attack.  Thank you all again and again for your

incredible support and prayers!!

and since we all LOVE my simple CASHEW CREAM recipe

I decided to experiment with ALMONDS.

Mmmm!!

MORSELICIOUS Heaven and  so simple!
I soaked raw almonds  and water in a jar,

covered and soaked overnight in the refrigerator.

The next morning, I drained the water

and added fresh water (adding a little at a time

for my desired consistency, which was THICK)

and blended well.

Voila!
ALMOND CREAM!!!

I mixed it with hemp protein powder and some

cashew cream with a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

and spread over  brown rice cakes…a tasty snack.

You can also add to oatmeal, spread over

your MORESLICIOUS pancakes or muffins,

use as a dip…
I’m still experimenting…

Mo’s Spicier Cocoa

The Morselist is turning up the heat in her kitchen

And it’s sooo MORSELICIOUSLY tasty!

My amazing friend, Reece, gave me an

amazing gift box of scintillating spices!!

One of my FAVORITE gifts all year!

(OK, I know it’s still the first month of the year,

but TRULY!

And, I’ve been having a hay day-play day experimenting.

Ingredients for an even SPICIER COCOA

Refer to my previous blog- Work it out Wednesday & the sugar dilemma  
2 tablespoons unsweetened Cacao -Navitas Naturals

1 tablespoon lightly sweetened cocoa – Scharffen Berger

½ cup Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk

add a splash more if you prefer a thinner consistency

dash of black pepper (YES, I wrote black pepper-trust me!)

dash of cayenne pepper -My Spice Sage

dash of cinnamon -My Spice Sage

–

Pour all of the above ingredients into a small saucepan

and stir over low heat for approximately 5-6 minute

until it becomes a thick-almost pudding like consistency.

I’ve learned that slow cooking really does make

EVERYTHING taste better.  I rarely use my microwave anymore.

It also forces you to SLOW down and SAVOR your food,

something the Morselist is constantly striving.

If you have a frother, and I strongly suggest getting one,

Thanks to my sister for the gift, froth it into

Foamy Frothy Fun!

Sprinkle with cacao nibs -Good Cacao

Sit somewhere satisfactory, savor and sip!

Enjoy!

Love, your Morselist
