Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

Quick Protein

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on July 10, 2009

Are you noticing a trend in my recipes lately?  “Quick.”

My friend, Erin, fed me this yummy “caramel” apple dip and I’ve replicated it a few times now.  It has become a staple during my last trimester when I need a fast protein boost.  I’m not a big fan of nut butters but this raw vegan dip is delicious!

6 Tbsp raw almond butter
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup raw honey
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 pitted dates (soaked)
pinch sea salt

mix it all together in a food processor/blender/chopper.

My sister thought it needed a little more “sweet” so I added two more dates the last time I made it.  Tasty, tasty. 

Slice up some apples and enjoy.  Thanks Erin!!
