One of my best girlfriends makes scones for me whenever she wants to do something sweet. At some point, I got the recipe from her, then found myself making tweaks to it. Recently, I stumbled upon a new combination. Dark chocolate and apricots. Sooo YUUUM! I thought of the idea when I saw dried apricots dipped in dark chocolate. Have you had them? So good! This recipe is made with almond meal as the main ingredient, so it's full of fiber, heart healthy fats, and just a little bit of that guilty pleasure we like to indulge in. Ingredients2 C Almond Meal (I used Trader Joe's brand) 1/4 t Salt 3/4 t Baking Soda 3/4 C Dried Apricots - Chopped into 1/4" chunks 1/2 C Mini Dark Chocolate Chips 1/2 t vanilla 1 Large Egg 2 T Honey or Agave Nectar Directions
If you happen to have any left over, store in an airtight container. I don't know how they hold up past 2 days, but there is no need to refrigerate.

When people see my planner, often they do not understand my method. In fact, I had someone ask me so many questions recently about why I don't block off time for certain things that I started to really look at it. Why do I plan by task? I think that the short answer is, I feel like I failed if I don't do what is on the list for the day or the time slot it is in. For me, that puts me into a giant shame spiral that spins into oblivion. My method keeps me sane. The longer answer is that sometimes because of the hats I wear, my list of things to do grows too long and, my planner acts as a brain dumping spot for me to not lose track of things that are important. Other times, I just don't know how long something is going to take so, it's easier to stay flexible and allow myself the time needed to do each thing so that I never feel the need to multi-task or over commit my schedule. |
