Gluten-Free Coconut Lime Cookies

Yesterday Nate and I tortured ourselves.

Why/how?

 

Oh, just wait, I’ll tell you.

 

See, we kind of have a thing for going to island destinations.  We kind of sort of love them.  Almost as much as I love Texas…and we all know that’s saying a lot.

So when I get the opportunity to relive vacations in the middle of winter, well, let’s just say I can’t stop myself.  Which leads me to the self-torture that Nate and I subjected ourselves to yesterday.

 

See what had happened was this:  there was nothing on TV yesterday around lunch time.  Nate was flipping through channels and ran across some program about the Hawaiian islands.  And…get this…we watched it.  The whole thing.

 

We reminisced and dreamed about the days we spent on beaches in warm sunshine, drifting in water and sipping wine on porches in tropical destinations.  We talked about how we had seen THAT waterfall, THAT restaurant, ziplined around THAT coast.  And even though we’re about to embark on the greatest adventure of our lives (you know, if the baby decides to come anytime soon), we tortured ourselves with the dreams of Hawaii in the dead of this windy Colorado winter.

 

All that to say that you, my friends, don’t have to torture yourselves with watching a Sunday afternoon Hawaiian vacation advertisement.  You can just pop these bad boys into the oven and in a matter of 15 seconds you’ll have your own little weekend getaway.  Trust me…you want this.  You need it.

GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT LIME COOKIES

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • zest of 2 whole limes

Preheat oven to 350.  Process the coconut and the coconut oil in a food processor for about 3-5 minutes until it’s finely chopped.  Whisk together the eggs in a bowl, then fold in the coconut/coconut oil mixture, coconut flour, and lime zest.  Drop in teaspoons onto a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a Silpat.  Bake 5 minutes at 350, then remove the baking sheet.  Using a glass dipped in granulated sugar gently press the cookies flat on the baking sheet.  Bake at 350 for 5-8 more minutes until golden brown on the bottom.  Let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet.  They’ll be chewy and delicious and perfect.

I know cookies aren’t the same as digging your toes into hot sandy beaches and toasting life with mai tais or a shot of rum…but a cookie that makes it feel like that?  I’ll take it!

    These look awesome! Going to make them this weekend while I dream of it being warm and sunny. I live in Hawaii and it’s been rainy and cold (for us) all last weekend.

    Funny thing is that my hubby and I had planned a Hawaii vacation and then I got pregnant. Looking into my baby’s smiling face I know that Hawaii can wait. Especially when I make those cookies lol

    I was just saying to Ryan, “You know, this time last year we were about to leave for a week in Key West. SIGH.” 🙂 These cookies look like the next best thing to a beach vacation!

    I do that all the time to myself. Except it’s usually online, googling tropical vacations, showing my husband whatever “deal” I found and hoping he jumps on it and says “sweet! let’s go!” Yeah, that last part never happens…

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
