On The Right Track

When asked the question why? Meaning why are we baking cookies that are vegan, that have no gluten, or refined sugars and flour.

My answer is simple.

We live in a place where we don’t have to worry where our next meal is coming from, where we are free to make choices and decisions on how we want to live our lives everyday. We can chose to eat however we want. Why not chose the one that is better for you. Why not chose the healthier way of life.

The fact is I have been exercising for the last three years consistently and I don’t want to throw away all my progress every time I crave something sweet.  I want the food I eat to work with me, not against me and to be honest I've lost five pounds sense we started this whole baking thing. 

I have the power to make the right choices for my body and thats exactly what I'm doing!!!

My choices create who I am. And the foods I eat help me to better become the person I want to be. If I fuel myself with life then life will radiate out of me, but if I feed myself processed, dead foods then I slowly start to lose that light, airy, energetic feeling I have whenever I feed my body what it needs.

Feed yourself junk and feel like junk!

OR

Feed yourself well and feel well!  

The point is food should never make you feel bad, like your doing something wrong. The food you eat should fuel you, making you stronger and making you feel better. All you have to do is chose the foods that can do that. 

Conscious cookies gives you that sweet yummy cookie without feeling like you just ate 100 pounds of lard. We use things like almond meal, and coconut sugar. We are doing our research to make the best ANYTIME COOKIE out there. 

Eat Well And Be Well!!!!!

We are a truly lucky to live where we have the opportunity to eat what we want to eat.

RIGHT TRAIN, WRONG TRACK

Well, as with many self starters we
were ambitious.... (still are)

but between our social life, school and work our once thriving cookie brains started rotting.. BLEH!

For what world does thou strive to flourish in and not face a challenge,  if thou dost believe in thyself then surely thou can see the prize for which thou is fighting for.  

I refuse to say that this was "harder than we thought" because I knew it was a road less traveled. I knew it was going to be a bit challenging, but that's all it is A CHALLENGE! 

A fight:: every turn, every bump and spin, dip and spill is a punch, and each blow we give gets us closer to knocking down all those barriers that we are standing behind, those barriers that are walling in our dream. But we're breaking free, busting out!

The last few bake dates we had more or less turned into bake duds.. Our cookies were coming out delicious right out of the oven, but unfortunately after a few days out in the world they turned into teeth breakers, not to mention   the greasy film left in our mouth from the coconut oil and crystalized maple syrup caked molars our cookies left in their path.

BUT ALAS!! We are determined! The originator tasted good and we used good ingredients, but baking is a science and the first cookie success and ultimate downfall only got the blood flowing in our ambitious spirits! 

"Forge onward" 

our inner voice yelled!

And so we do! Tomorrow we bake with an entirely new recipe and hopefully the making of vegan butter! I am definitely looking forward to that!! Some of our new ingredients we will be working with are gaur gum, homemade tapioca and rice flour as well as date and coconut sugar!

  

We sat down and had a break through. Codi and I racked our brains and dug deep in our thought caverns and pulled out the genius that had been lurking underneath the daily crap we deal with. We knew it was there, we just needed to sit and meditate and that IS something I will admit to not doing!

We did not meditate. It was so important that we sit down and gather our thoughts and pace ourselves, so we can get to our goal with one foot in front of the other.

This journey is just as important to us as the destination.

Our cookies are on the way...

Stay tuned..
