Light from Rumi

Today i am in the mood for mystics...

here is something from dear Rumi (from Whispers of the Beloved – Maryam Mafi and Azima Koln p.48)

To be or not to be
Is not my dilemma.
To break away from both worlds is not bravery.
To be unaware of the wonders
That exist in me,
That
Is real madness!

Rumi by Lisa Dietrich

Con-Templating

I am on the lookout for a better template for this little bloggy endeavor...any suggestions?

Powerball!!!!

Here is a little something we whipped up and then rolled up the other day. These little guys do pack a powerful punch, providing lots of sustaining energy and deliciousness. The little one dug them too.

My intention was for them to be 100% raw, but i couldn't find the raw buckwheat groats for the life of me. So we used toasted ones (i.e., Kasha). Next time i make them they will be fully un-cooked.

Donia's Powerballs

1/2 cup buckwheat groats

1/2 cup raw unhulled sesame seeds

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 Tbsp raw cacao nibs

2 Tbsp Amazon Power Shake

5 opened up caps of Aquazon

3/4 cups dates

1/4 cup raw cashew butter

In a food processor combine Buckwheat, Sesame Seeds, Coconut, Chia Seeds, Cacao Nibs, Powershake, and Aquazon. Process until a coarse powder (admittedly not all the seeds will be totally powder-y).

Add dates. Let dates get integrated into the mix. Add Cashew butter. This should make everything more dough-y. Add more cashew butter if its not coming together enough (for a nut-free version you could use tahini or sunflower seed butter).

Roll into balls or other shapes. Thank the universe for such marvels. Enjoy!

Since i didn't take any pictures of these treats (little hands kept on snatching away, biting into, and putting back what was on the plate), here is a photo of the lovely raw choco-coconut pudding we had a few weeks ago (in my great-grandma's bubble bowls). When it is recreated the recipe will be shared.

At First Sight

Love. (yes, my boy's best friend is a soccer ball)
