Sunshine during the Rain

First of all, I cannot thank you enough for your comments and words of encouragement you left regarding the loss of my Nana. It means the world to know that our family is covered in prayer. Amen!
Its been such a roller coaster ride of emotions this week. With a loss of loved one brings more focus on the ones right in front of you. Like this cute guy (the hubs).

Our anniversary was the day after my Nana passed and this year it meant so much more. All I needed was an “I LOVE YOU.” Those simple words bring joy to my heart!

So you see, the first week in 2011 has been like sunshine while its raining. You can’t explain its reasoning, but its beautiful and you feel at peace.

Lets continue to talk about love. I love to spoil my hubs with food. That’s how I got him to marry me. hehe. It’s my Love Language towards him….acts of service. And since he is the king SNACKER, I decided to make him a personal snack time companion…..made with love.

  • 1 can garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 c. peanut flour (can also use almond or flax meal)
  • 1/4-1/3 c. honey
  • Cinnamon, to taste
  • 1oz Unsulphured dried apples (can use more if want)
  • 1 tsp vanilla (I used liquid Vanilla Stevia)
  • A dash of almond milk, enough to allow it to blend. (About 2-3 tbsp)
  • SECRET INGREDIENT- 2 tbsp NUTTZO (or other chunky nut butter of choice)OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
** Blend above ingredients. You can make the hummus smoother by removing the skins off the garbanzo beans. 

Lick the spatula! (this is a must)

In the midst of mourning you can find happiness, you can celebrate, you can love! And as this emotional roller coaster of a week continues, I will not forget to laugh. I even found a laugh line that I am pretty proud of. Just needs to deepen a little more.
