Biscoff Sweet Potato Truffles

Before we start talking about the truffles – Biscoff is hosting this SUPER FUN Spread the Love contest where you can upload yummy photos of your favorite way to use Biscoff spread and win prizes! Not to mention get inspired with other fantastic uses for it (besides, you know, dipping a spoon in there). Trust me, you want to take a look at these photos – just make sure you have a full jar of Biscoff spread when you do!

I remember the first time I ever heard of Biscoff cookies was a few years ago when I first started blogging. There was a gal who ate one every day after her lunch as a little treat to finish off her meal, and I just thought maybe it was only something available locally. Then suddenly out came the Biscoff spread and it was like the whole world was aglow with the color of Biscoff cookies! Biscoff recipes abounded and I suddenly realized that it wasn’t just a local company in some other blogger’s hometown – it’s an international brand with European heritage!

And yet? You guys, I’m a little sad to admit this, but I just never tried it, mainly because I could not find it in the stores in Colorado (where I lived at the time). After we moved to Little Rock one of the first things I noticed was the fact that the stores here all carried Biscoff spread, and yet I just never worked up the courage. I can’t imagine why I was so scared of a spread made from cookies – I mean, could a better spread exist?! – but I get that way sometimes. Sometimes new things scare me. Sometimes I just buy another jar of peanut butter and call it a day!

Now though? Guys, after my first bite I literally thought to myself, “Oh Lord, now I’m in trouble.” 10 minutes later the whole jar was gone and I feel the need to tell you guys I’m not sorry. After all, I had several year of Biscofflessness (totally a word) to catch up on!

The thing I love about the recipe below is that while there are several steps, the hands-on time is really pretty small. I clearly love the Biscoff flavor coming through, and the mashed sweet potatoes are a fantastic accompaniment! I liked covering mine with white chocolate because I felt like the mellow flavor really let the Biscoff-sweet potato flavor shine through, but another great way to eat them is with a spoon. I’m just sayin’…

BISCOFF SWEET POTATO TRUFFLES

Makes around 20 truffles

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato
  • 1 cup Biscoff spread (you can use the smooth or the crunchy – they both work great!)
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted and divided
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips

In a food processor combine the mashed sweet potato, Biscoff spread, and 1-1/2 tablespoons of the coconut oil. Process on high until everything is really well combined. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and spoon the truffles, about 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the sheet. Refrigerate for about 1-2 hours to let them firm up a bit. After they have firmed up, roll them into balls (it helps to wet your hands slightly in between rolling each ball) and place on a clean sheet of foil or parchment paper on another baking sheet. Stick them in the freezer this time for about 3-4 hours (this is to make it easier to dip them in the warm chocolate). When it’s time to dip the truffles, heat the white chocolate chips and the remaining coconut oil in a double boiler, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat. Set out on last sheet of parchment paper or foil on a baking sheet and pull the truffles out of the freezer. Using a fork, roll the truffles in the melted chocolate until coated, then place on the clean parchment or foil. Repeat until all the balls are covered in chocolate and place them in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden. Serve cold!

Biscoff Spread is a sweet, creamy spread made with Biscoff Cookies. Try this delicious European alternative to peanut butter or chocolate spread. Upload your Biscoff Spread photo to enter Biscoff’s “Spread the Love” contest for a chance to win a trip for 2 to Belgium!

For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AM For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AMAZING low-carb day dish: roasted cauliflower with smoked paprika and almonds! It’s so simple to make, incredibly flavorful, and pairs really well with truly any protein. Enjoy!

Captain’s log: Going on day 174 (give or take) o Captain’s log: Going on day 174 (give or take) of being iced in, virtual schooling, working full time, creating snow day memories, working out, eating healthfully, and trying to remember to wash my face (spoiler: today I did not wash my face. Yet). Getting me through: significantly lower expectations, coffee, and drinking smoothies by the fireplace. If there’s a silver lining in the quarantines from last year it’s that I know now that I can handle much more chaos than I thought I could 🤪
A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with my avocado plant! Swipe to see this little guy as a teeny sprout 🌱 

I remember when I wasn’t sure it would sprout at all, and then one day the seed split and there it was! We also hit a point November-January where there was zero growth and I wondered again if it was a waste of time.

Now there are new leaves, new height, and (most importantly) stronger roots, all because of a little patience and care (it’s a metaphor y’all 😆). I find myself excited about the next season where it will be planted in dirt, which will offer new challenges - and growth- of its own. What a blessing to learn such deep lessons from a humble seed!

God, thank you for the little things that show us how much the little things matter. Amen.

Simple: because it was the best photo out of a billion that I took of myself 🤣 Sometimes it all works, today it didn’t. 

Wanna know what DOES work though? This amazing new deodorant! The biggest question I get about cleaner products is always about which is the best natural deodorant. Friends, I’ve found some decent ones in the past, but this one takes the cake!

And, because I know I’ll get asked, my favorite scents are in this order: Fresh Coconut, Soft Lavender, Clean Rose. The coconut smells like a vacation, and couldn’t we all use a vacay right now? 🏖 Link in the ol’ profile to shop!
🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I str 🙋🏼‍♀️ Hi, my name is Heather and I struggle getting enough protein into my diet. Who else can relate?!

One of my physical health goals this year is to gain lean muscle and get stronger, which means that I need to be getting enough protein in on a daily basis. For me a great source of lean protein is chicken breasts, but if they don’t taste great I’m not having it! So, if this is you, I have a solution for you: BRINE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! 

Here’s my fail-proof brine recipe for perfectly flavorful chicken breasts. Cook ‘em however you want - just make sure you brine them first! The difference is enormously worth it!

Recipe is for about 4-6 chicken breasts:
•3 tablespoons kosher salt
•3 tablespoons honey
•2 cups lukewarm water
•2 cups cold water

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a simmer. Remove and stir until the salt is dissolved, then pour in the cold water. IT MUST BE COLD - otherwise the brine will start to cook the chicken breasts! When the mixture is lukewarm, add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re covered in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 1-6 hours (I recommend 6 if you can). When they’re finished, remove from the brine, rinse, pat dry and cook as desired!
🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with findi 🏃🏼‍♀️Who else is struggling with finding cardio equipment for their home gym on a budget?

I love running, walking and hiking, but weather, childcare, and a certain global pandemic make consistently getting out to do those kinda difficult. I’ve always enjoyed my #homegym, but quality cardio equipment is expensive! 

So what’s a girl to do?

This past fall I randomly decided to look at steppers, and found this @sunnyhealthfitness one on @walmart for $50! I just wanted something that I could use for 20-30 minutes 4-ish days a week, and it’s been an amazing fit. Would I like a Peloton? Duh, of course. But this has worked so well with the budget and space we have!

What’s your biggest struggle in curating a home gym?
A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t r A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t recommend seeing a counselor or therapist enough. I was weird about it first, felt like my problems weren’t big or messy enough to warrant professional help. And when I did start seeing my counselor I was awkward (this shouldn’t be a surprise). But here we are 4 months later and I’m seeing some incredible life-giving movement. God is so good, and I’m so thankful for friends who normalized counseling and therapy for me!
So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed (or really in my stories too). Truthfully I’m still heavily processing the last 2 months, which were preceded by 10 other hard months. Life is brutal and beautiful and next-level hard and a joy, all swirled together. I won’t pretend that everything is OK; it’s not. I’m not.
.
BUT GOD.
.
This past weekend I had a moment of complete clarity and joy and the knowledge that I will be OK. And for that only-God moment I’m so thankful. For all of you who have been praying for our family, who have offered the sweetest words and condolences, who have truly been there, waiting and wading with me through the hard - thank you. God is still good. He is still on his throne. And I am so unwaveringly thankful for that!❤️
Just a couple quick reminders: ⭐️ healthy doe Just a couple quick reminders:

⭐️ healthy doesn’t have to be hard
⭐️ you’re allowed to “mess up”
⭐️ you’re allowed to be multidimensional
⭐️ don’t overcomplicate it 
⭐️ YOU ARE CAPABLE 

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!

Does anyone even do a word of the year anymore after 2020? If you do I’d love to see you share it below!
