C - Week

C

Monday: C for Cloud. We made a rain cloud and a snow cloud. They call me Jill Nye. (..just kidding)

Tuesday: Taste-It: Cashews and craisins for snack and cucumber with lunch. We also made coconut cookies. "CC"!
These are my favorite cookies so I'll share. It's from The Sprouted Kitchen Cookbook. The cookies are gluten-free and are made without butter.

Coconut-Chocolate Cookies:

• 1 1/4 cups almond meal

• 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate (Sara used cacao nibs)

• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt (Sara used sea salt)

• 1/3 cup brown sugar (Sara used muscovado)

• 1 egg

• 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond meal, dark chocolate chips, coconut, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat egg until uniform in color and doubled in volume.
3. Whisk in the coconut oil and vanilla, then add to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
6. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, place on baking sheet with 1-1/2 inch space in between each. Press down slightly to flatten a bit.
7. Bake until edges begin to brown, 7-10 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.

Wednesday: Cain and Abel are who we read about. Our memory verse for the week:
"Create in me a pure heart, O God; and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10

Thursday: More repeating "big A, little a, big B, little b, big C, little c"

Friday: Lily's boyfriend/destined-to-be-husband, Cal (short for Caleb) was the pick this week. Lily did FaceTime with him this morning and I tried to get a picture but it didn't work :(
Cal and his two sisters came over to play Friday morning so they also saw each other face-to-face, too. We had such a good time playing. Thank you for being Lily's FaceTime Friday, Cal!
