Hey hey my friends! Welcome to my blog! I am 100% new to this and don't have a whole lot of free time so bare with me in the days to come as I give this a shot! Today is such a lazy rainy day! Me and the hubbs went to church this morning and heard a very inspiring sermon! Afterwards we went to a yummy chines place with some lovely friends and I ate entirely too much! 'sigh' So to make up for it I'm going to try and have a no-cheat Trim Healthy Mama week which will be my first week of doing so if I succeed :) So to help myself keep from cheating I decided to do some healthy baking and chocolate making but to my saddness I only had enough sweetener (xylitol and truvia) left to make a small batch of yummy chocolate. So I did a little experimenting and this is what my concoction ended up being...

1/2 bar 100% cacao chocolate
a few splashed of heavy whipping cream
1 TBSP butter
melt together in the microwave and mix well then add
a mixture of the sweeteners to taste (I ground them to a fine powder first in my coffee grinder)
a splash of vanilla
and a generous handful of almonds

yummy yummmyy it is! And beings I couldnt do any baking I made myself a delicious hot drink with layers of espresso-steamed heavy whipping cream-caramel syrup to sip on while I finally am getting to designing this blog after some time of procrastinate. My hubby (Nate) says you can't spell procrastinate without 'nate' so I'll blame it on him that it's taken so long! haha

So tomorrow I want to stop and pick up some sweeteners and then give some new healthy sugar free brownies and peanut butter eggs a shot sometime later this week when I find the time and I will try and post about how those go including recipes and pictures. I have yet to figure out how to post pictures but I'm guessing that won't be to complicated :)

Have a wonderful week everyone!
