A few weeks ago i had the pleasure of meeting the Helmsley and helmsley girls who were in Dublin promoting their new book
They gave a demonstration in the Cooks academy in Dublin
You could feel their passion for what they do
and they are certainly the best possible advertisments for what they preach
Bursting with energy and glowing
They were so warm and relaxed.
I have made quite a few recipes from the book
and every one has been delicious
I have boiled up some good batches of bone broth
something I used to do all the time but somehow fell out of the habit of.
The bliss balls recipe is now a real favourite and in the demonstartion they made it into a fudge
sprinkled with cacao nibs on top
This is now my go to snack
simply 220g bar creamed coconut warmed through,
2 tablespoons tahini
and a tablespoon raw honey mixed together with a pinch of salt
and poured into a 8" x 8" square tin
sprinkle with cacao nibs and refrigerate
simply delicious
I have also tried their raw avocado chocolate mousse
I loved it but little mouths were not so sure
have to work on that sugar habit
The sesame chicken salad was a big hit
Ok so I am not eating like this all the time
and as I write this a batch of cinnamon pulla dough is resting in the kitchen
But i figure if i can add some of this philosophy into my day
and swap out 40% of my meals with something they recommend i will be striking a good balance
In other news summer is here
and the garden is bursting
the lake is calling for a swim
my garden
Out for a walk
