Paleo Snowball Cookies

Ingredients
• Cookie Ingredients:
• 2/3 cup pecan halves
• 2/3 cup chopped, pitted dates
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup cassava flour
• 2 tablespoons ghee or butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg
• pinch of salt
• Chocolate Coating:
• 3.5 ounce 72% chocolate bar
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Snowflake Layer:
• 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place pecans in a mini food processor. Pulse until flour-like. Add dates, vanilla, cassava flour, butter, baking soda, and egg. Pulse until a sticky dough.
Form 10, 1-tablespoon sized balls (I used this scoop). Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes. Transfer cookie balls to a cooling rack and let cool for 30 minutes.
In a double boiler (or just set a metal bowl atop a pot with 1-inch of water), melt the chocolate, coconut oil, and honey. Dip cooled cookies in the chocolate mixture.
Roll dipped cookies in the coconut. Set cookies aside on the cooling rack. Once completed, transfer the cookies to a parchment paper-lined lidded dish and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Enjoy!

Whispers/Poem by MwsR

Sometimes faint and sometimes fleeting spies

When they enter your heart like a big surprise

Tears can’t erase the echos that only you can hear

When it’s from the one you hold so dear

Some say they know

Some say to listen, hurts their hearts so

The hardest part is they are unpredictable

The flash feelings are so incomprehensible

To feel  them surely will take courage

To keep wanting them as if to save them up in storage

Whispers of a person’s hearts company

They take root sometimes and resonate inside, you see

There is no reason or rhyme

Sometimes only lasting for a season, just like mine

Whispers of your heart, as well as your soul, and through all time

They can be yours and they will be mine.

Stranger Things Have Happened, by MwsR/ Poem Share

Drifting in a boat without a paddle

Sitting on a horse without a saddle

Climbing up a mountain without a rope

Wading in a pool without a float

Listening to the music no one can hear

Persevering through trials without you near

Standing on the edge without a grip

Losing lots of weight without one slip

Judging those around you, you do not even know

Teaching others who watch you even without trying to show

Stealing things just to give them away

Leaving something behind just in order to stay

Proposing something, yet taking the lead

Unhealthy alliances, yet you very much needed

Reading something you won’t understand

Writing poetry without using your hand

Tragic end to a beautiful night.

Following your heart, yet lost in spite.

Time, by MwsR/ Poem Share

Taken back>

Scrounging forward

Frozen in time>

Thawing from the lies

Happy in memories>

Sad in the truth

Alone in this journey>

Together in the pain

Wallowing in yesterdays>

Letting go for more tomorrows.

Hey, 

How are you all doing? I hope you are well today and everyday.

So…

As you know I write poems. I have published 3 self published books, for those who do not already know. I started this blog originally to get the information of those books out into the public.

Well…

I since have added recipes, news information, personal information share, music information shares, and song videos and lyric shares, as well as various other things. 

I know it appears to some maybe, that I am all over the spectrum of things. I like being that way but I really feel the need to share things that other might enjoy. 

I wrote up the RAKA AWARD, for those who don’t know what that is, look it up. It is an award for random acts of kindness. Hope you will check my page out to see more.

I recently started sharing products that I use and like. I am not sure for how long I will do this sort of posts but I feel it is good , if a person finds something that they like and to share that with others. If you are like me, you appreciate the information.

I think so far, I have a good variety of things. I do not like to be boring or mundane. So far, I have loved seeing the positive feedback others give me, and I hope to continue in doing so.

Now…

I hope you know, you all matter. I hope you know there is no one quite like you.

I hope you each feel loved, accepted and cherished.

I wish for you, that you see brighter days, see the sun rise and set on better days.

Continue encouraging others, reaching out to others, and caring about each other.

Life is so short, we have only this lifetime to be that beacon in someone’s dark world.

Mws R ❤
