Obviously, I am in a tropical mood lately.
I am shoving things like Grilled Salmon and Pineapple, Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos with Manga salsa, Avocado Spring Rolls, Ice Cream and now coconut in your face.
I hope you don’t mind.
It’s a phase. I go through them. Sometimes they go as quick as they came on and other times they stick around for while. I have a feeling this whole tropical phase is gonna stick around a while. Lately I have been dreaming about paradise, but I don’t think I am the only one. It is just that time of year. You know when everyone is dreaming of summer and all we seem to get is more snow. That’s March for ya!
Actually, believe it or not it was sunny here all day yesterday. Like not a cloud in the sky. It was freezing, but hey it was still sunny! After four day’s of straight snow I’ll take it!
Oh, and remember yesterday how I said I wanted to give Monday a big fat bear huge? Yeah, well I totally take that back.
Yesterday, was crazy!
But really, everyday is crazy. See I don’t really have weekends. I am one of those people who does not stop working until everything is done. The problem is that with a blog, the work never stops! Now, don’t get me wrong. I love what I am doing and am not complaining. I personally, just do not know how to hit the stop button. So weekends are pretty much non-existent.
Did I mention I am stuck on Asher duty all week (Mom’s out-of-town and Dad works during the day, so I am the official babysitter)? Yeah, I am currently trying to write this post well Asher stands behind me on a chair doing my hair. All well she is talking a million miles a minute. Exhaustion is setting in.
Which is reason number one why I made these cookies. No, seriously I need the caffeine in the dark chocolate to keep me going (I am not a coffee drinker). Reason number two? I gave all the other cookies to my mom and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard’s are long gone.
Since I needed an energy boost I though it would be a good idea to make these cookies on the healthier side. So I used whole wheat flour, majorly reduced the sugar and loaded them with dark chocolate. What? I need the antioxidants.
Do you see all that melty delicious dark chocolate?!? Ohhh MMYYYy Gosh!
Seriously, I could not believe how awesome and insanely fudgy these cookies turned out. They taste indulgent, but they are actually kind of good for you! Honestly, I still can’t believe it.
The coconut not only adds nutrition, but it keeps the cookies moist. Plus, since the coconut is naturally sweet I was able to add a whole lot less sugar! Oh wait and another plus, coconut and dark chocolate together are down right awesome!
Wait, wait, wait. I forgot to tell you how awesome these would be as an Easter dessert. Guys, these would be awesome on your Easter dessert table!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of
your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break.
I love the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone ..
I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, fantastic blog!
So glad your checking it out!
Thank you!!
I’ve been surfing on-line more than 3 hours these days, but I by
no means discovered any fascinating article like yours.
It’s pretty value sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made
just right content as you did, the internet might be a lot more helpful than ever
before.
I’m gone to inform my little brother, that he should also visit this weblog on regular basis to take updated from most recent information.
This information is worth everyone’s attention. How can I find
out more?
I got this website from my friend who told me concerning this web site and now this time I am browsing this
web site and reading very informative posts here.
I do not even know the way I finished up right here, but I thought this post used to be great.
I do not recognise who you are but definitely you’re going
to a well-known blogger when you are not already.
Cheers!
You need to be a part of a contest for one of the
finest sites on the internet. I’m going to recommend this web site!
Hi there, everything is going nicely here and ofcourse every one is sharing information, that’s really fine, keep up writing.
