What a difference a day makes...

So, on Tuesday, I was out for a pleasant, albeit chilly, ride on the Big Girl Bike in Palgrave at night...then, I woke up Wednesday AM, threw on my skis, and headed out into this...

Then, Wednesday night, I hooked up with the gang for a snowshoe along the Humber - How does winter happen sooooooo fast???

Tonight, I was reminded of one of the reason that the snow doesn't always thrill me...

But then again, I guess I kinda missed Coach Troy. Well, maybe kinda, but not really....

Skye has had her final operation to remove the plate and screws from her leg, and is now, once again, on the mend - so close...patience...patience.

And now, a seasonal recipe (wicked good!)

Double Ginger Cacao Cookies:

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/3 cup cacao nibs

1/3 cup chopped organic dark chocolate

1 cup buckwheat flour

1 cup kamut flour

3 1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 cup coconut oil (or organic butter)

1/4 cup blackstrap molasses (unsulphured)

1 1/2 Tb. grated ginger

1 egg

2/3 cup maple flakes (opt.)

350F. oven.

Place the maple flakes, if using, in a bowl and set aside.

Mix dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix The softened coconut oil or butter with molasses, coconut sugar, and fresh ginger. Beat in the egg. Combine wet and dry. Stir in nibs and chocolate.

Make 1 tsp. sized balls or drops, and bake 7-10 mins. Roll in flakes prior to baking if using...
