With all that to work on, I haven't had much time for the fun stuff that I really want to read. So for all of you fortunate people who do have time, here are two of the best books I've ever read.
1): "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
Love, love, love. This is definitely worth while. Funny (it actually got me to laugh out loud), serious, romantic, and delicious. You read right: delicious. I just couldn't put it down!
2): "Persuasion" also by Jane Austen.
I think I may have liked this even better than P+P. It was an equally scrumptious read. I absolutely love the romance. The two characters care deeply for one another and develop well. This isn't mushy, ya'll. The book is a little mysterious at first (why is Captain Wentworth acting this way? Ahhh!), but its resolve is lovely.
Also, you should watch the movies too. Not just any old version though. This one for "Pride and Prejudice" and this one for "Persuasion".
Now, on to the recipe!
The Chocolate Covered Blueberry
From A Mad Tea Party
1/3 c. canned full fat coconut milk
1 c. blueberries
1/2 a frozen banana
2 t. cocoa powder
2 t. raw honey
a splash of vanilla
Combine all in blender. Mmmm!
(Of course, I couldn't just follow the recipe, I'm too much of a rebel (yeah right). I added coconut oil, two egg yolks (leftover from coconut macaroons), used kefir and yogurt instead of coconut milk, and not as much banana and honey.)
