White Chocolate Hazelnut Chunk Coconut Butter

White Chocolate Hazelnut Chunk Coconut Butter || HeathersDish.comI feel so defeated you guys. Already. And we’re only 1 day in to 2014, but I have been so incredibly sick for the past few days and yesterday was the worst so far. The cold from Hades has taken over my body and I am counting down the hours til it’s over.

 

I had so many big plans for the day yesterday too – FaceTimeing with our families, cooking great food, working out, geeking out over planning out this next crazy year of our lives. So many things got pushed to the side when my body decided to get so stopped up I could barely breathe though, so I propped myself up and took a nap for several hours in between fits of coughing. It’s super attractive, I’ll tell you that.

White Chocolate Chunk Coconut Butter || HeathersDish.comI suppose the good (note: sarcasm) thing is that I can’t taste anything unless it’s heavily salted or super spicy. Things like the yummy posole I made the other day are lost on these sad tastebuds, and don’t even get me started on this coconut butter. It’s subtly sweet and just so darn good, and yet I can’t taste even a little bit of it right now! Although I have already tasted it (maybe a couple batches worth…) and it’s divine. Truly.

 

As we enter this new year with adventure on our minds and spreading through our hearts, one of the things we are focusing on first (probably because it’s the easiest to change) is the way that we eat. It’s so easy to just make unhealthy food because honestly it really DOES taste good. But we’re putting the easy to the side and getting down to the adventure of eating WELL. I know it’s hard to see the adventure in that, but as we move further and further from our comfort zone of unhealth and huge portions it feels more and more like we’re going on a culinary trip the likes of which we’ve never seen. And maybe that’s because we haven’t. Regardless, though, we are choosing to take the load less traveled here and I can’t express how excited I am!

White Chocolate Hazelnut Chunk Coconut Butter || HeathersDish.comSo while I can’t eat a spoonful of this and actually taste it today, I will say that you SHOULD make this as a new way to look at dessert or a sweet snack. A spoonful at a time is all you need!

 

ALSO – note – I got the method from my sweet friend Jessica who makes such scrumptious food I can’t even handle it – you can check out her original post here!

White Chocolate Hazelnut Chunk Coconut Butter

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • 1/8 cup chopped white chocolate
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the coconut and salt in a food processor and process until it becomes coconut butter, about 10-15 minutes. You will want to stop the processor and scrape down the sides a few times to keep the texture consistent.
  2. Let the coconut butter cool almost completely, where you can still stir it, and stir in the chopped hazelnuts and white chocolate.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

    Yum-o. Love the sound of this little “dessert.” So sorry you’re sick. That’s the worst at the beginning of something – like a year – to be so out of commission. Get well soon!

    Aww, I’m sorry you’ve been so sick. Praying you get well soon! This butter sounds delicious and perfect with a slice of toast or just on a spoon. 😉

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?
