Flourish Fundamentals
Optimize your health AND your finances
4/2/15: Things have changed a bit since I first wrote this post. I now don’t do dairy, eggs, or caffeine, so my new Bulletproof Coffee routine is more like Bulletproof Hot chocolate.
Here is my standard recipe now that I use most days:
1/2 to 1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 tablespoon good quality cocoa powder
1 tablespoon Vital Choice collagen peptides powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt
pinch cinnamon
EDIT 12/14/14: I’ve recently come up with a new way to get liver in my diet EVERY SINGLE DAY in a way that I never have to taste it. Go check out the post here!
This is a liver recipe for people who don’t like liver.
There are two truths in my life about liver.
1. I hate the taste of liver with every part of my being.
2. I know it’s the most nutrient dense food on the planet so I force myself to eat it anyway.
Once, back in my university days, I made a horrible cake.
I mean, really, it was bad.
It wasn’t intentionally bad. It was for a boyfriend’s – or maybe the friend of that boyfriend’s – birthday. I threw lots of enthusiasm and gusto into my chocolate birthday cake, but suffice it to say that I didn’t have much experience making cakes. Unfortunately, enthusiasm doesn’t make up much for poor cooking methodology. The cake was undercooked, it was completely dense and flat, and the frosting was more like butter than cream. I still remember the polite smiles of said boyfriend and friend as they attempted to choke down a couple bites as we sat around the coffee table. Bless them.
Luckily, since my university days, my cooking skills have improved somewhat. And today, when I took this cake out of the oven and tried it, I remembered my former cake-failure, and I thought: I’m no master chef, but at least my cakes aren’t awful anymore. Progress!
