hello luvs!

finally Friday! we have some special visitors coming to visit us this weekend!

to get the weekend started off right we are sharing another favorite raw dessert of ours that we have made before and did a video of Lori making it about 2 years ago. and one dessert we already practiced and shared with friends. also made this chocolate creamy cake over the holidays! just cannot get enough of it.

and this dessert we plan on making for Lori’s dessert bar at her wedding!

when thinking of a special Valentine’s Day recipe this chocolate dessert recipe came to our mind.

we wanted something chocolate…very chocolately. something smooth and delectable with every bite.

raw triple chocolate cream cake ( raw cheesecake if you will)

more chocolate the better right? we agree.

we call it a cream cake instead of cheesecake. we like to give it a different name since it is technically not like a traditional cheesecake. but feel free to call it a cheesecake.

the crust is made up of pecan flour. we just took whole pecans and place them into food processor (blender would work too) and pulsed till we had a flour like texture. again you can use any nut of your liking but pecans are fatter so they provide a nice buttery like crust.

for the filling part cashews work the best. as they get very smooth and creamy. to make the filling is best done in a high powered blender like a Vita-mix. you want to make sure all the cashews are well blended. no one wants chunky cheesecake. or maybe some do. either way the blender does best.

now we are warning you when you make this filling it is very hard not to eat it all with a spoon. we struggled with this part. it is just too damn good not to eat along the way.

even though this triple chocolate cream cake is free of many common allergies promise it is just as satisfying and mouthwatering as any other cheesecake recipe out there.

we love making this raw chocolate cream cake as mini cakes because they are the perfect individual serving! and just so cute…love mini things.

decorate your tasty raw mini triple chocolate cream cake any way you would like.

then devour.

this is a great chocolate cheesecake recipe that will sure impress your friends, family, or your special loved one for valentines day! promise they won’t believe it is raw and actually good for them.

till next time, now who is coming over for some dessert?

hello friends,

we absolutely loved hearing all the answers to our little fun question game yesterday. looks like everyone wants to be super fit, most people are wine lovers (cheers to that), and chocolate pulled ahead by 2!

the recipe we have for you today plus video of Michelle making it, is a quick and healthy recipe that everyone will love. we call it our sweet potato lime guacamole.

we feel this sweet potato lime guacamole would be perfect for any Super Bowl party. we are planning on making it again this football Sunday.

we made this guacamole recipe a few years ago for another super bowl game recipe idea. we remembered loving it so much and decided to make it again, but this time add in a video of us making it.

mashing avocado

steamed sweet potato

prepping all ingredients

love fresh cilantro

Michelle hard at work

we could not find kabocha squash in stores any more, so this time we used sweet potatoes. luckily the sweet potato worked amazing in this recipe as well! although we feel sweet potatoes taste great with so many things.

we served our sweet potato lime guacamole with some raw gluten free crackers. it would really go well with just about anything.

easy healthy sweet potato guacamole that is a perfect addition to any super bowl party, what do you think? we think so.

easy as 1-2-3

enjoy the video.

now it is time to eat and watch some football. who wants to join us?

we always forget how quick and easy making guacamole can be. and the possibilities are endless. some other great guacamole recipes that we have seen that caught our eyes are:

edamame guacamole from two peas & their pod

garden guacamole from Kristen’s raw

firecracker guacamole from the wannabe chef

have  a wonderful day,

L & M

thank you for everyone who commented on our workout equipment wish lists. and for everyone else wishing for similar things, we hope you get them!!

okay so lets talk food. our other passion.

as we mentioned in our skin care posts, we are trying new diet things. most recently sugar free grain free to help with our skin.

and for the most part we have been pretty good, around 99%. hey when you run a bakery it is not always easy to resist things. but luckily our bakery is already grain free! plus we are actually working on more sugar free items.

we have seen some improvements in our skin. well let us be more clear – Michelle’s skin is looking good overall. Lori’s skin still getting new breakouts.

wait we are getting off topic, we will do a follow-up of our diet skin care thoughts soon.

back to what we have been eating lately…our eats through instagram *these are just highlights not everything we eat

our mornings look something like this

for the past few days we have been enjoying fresh veggie juice!!

coconut yogurt or goat kefir mixed with protein powder (either vega or brown rice) with a some hemp or fish oil. sometimes we put some chia seeds in.

and of course a little coffee

we have been enjoying Starbuck’s new blonde brew. more of a lighter taste. although our sister has made in clear she prefers her bold coffee. what kind of coffee do you like? bold or light? can you taste the difference?

some of our snacks and lunches look like this

savory avocado smoothie

avocado pudding

you know we love our avocados!

our post workout meal is something new – eggs with sweet potato and veggies. we will share more on this later.

egg veggie scramble

dinner is usually a salad of some form. one night we blended up the salad. might not looking appetizing but it was pretty good. in a weird way. but sometimes blending up our salad can make it easier for us to digest.

of course topped with kraut

and some nights we enjoy fish salads

salmon salad

tuna salad

and finally dessert. most of the time we want a little something.

here is carob pumpkin mousse

and that is about it.

our eats are nothing fancy. just simple food!

till next time,

L & M

we are looking to expand our home workout equipment. we love our homemade sandbags.

we love our Gymboss Interval Timer (affiliate link), jump rope, and yoga mats.

we hope to one day take our fitness to the next level because we want to challenge our bodies a little more! and we feel there are certain products that can help us get there. products that we have been looking at over and over for some time now.

do you have  a workout equipment wish lists?

here are some things we would love to add to our home workouts

1. Ugi Ball

2. LEBERT EQUALIZER  (thanks to Bodyrock)

3. Rebounder

4. Treadmill

we miss sometimes being able to walk uphill on the treadmill. we are not cardio junkies anymore, but sometimes it is nice for change. we felt walking uphill helped firm up our booty.

5. TRX

Michelle got to try out TRX while at the Rock n Roll Chicago Marathon last year and loved it.

Twins Question: For those of you who have a rebounder, which one do you have? We have been researching brands and cannot seem to pick one to try.  Do you have ugi ball? Do you have dip station or equalizer?

What piece of workout equipment do you want? What is on your wish lists??

and now we are off to do a little work in the bakery before getting our workout in for the day.  yesterday we did some yoga intervals and today we are doing a HIIT working out. probably browse youtube for some inspiration.

have a great day!

till next time,

L & M
