Pancakes.

My breakfast of choice this week. Try them! They are so easy (and satisfying) to make.

Ingrediants:
x1 banana
x1 large egg
hand full of blueberries
coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Mash the banana with a fork in a bowl—it's fine if there are chunks—and then mix in one egg and blueberries (chopped).
Pour  small pancake-size amounts into a greased frying pan over medium-low heat. Keep lifting the edges with a spatula to see if they're browning, and once they are, flip them over to brown the other side. Simple.

The blueberries can be replaced/joined with what ever takes your fancy. I've also tried cinnamon, chopped strawberries and cacao nibs.

YUM!

Trouble sleeping?

Just found a nice little tip on A Cup Of Jo.
"...Pretend that you’re going to fall through the bed. It makes you realize how tensed up your body is and helps you relax....'
Apartment Therapy also found the most relaxing song ever, which actually slows down your heartbeat.

Nothing beats a good sleep!

Recipe

For days like this you need THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE you'll ever have...

2 cans 13.5-fl-oz. pure coconut milk
2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 12-oz. bag chocolate chips (2 cups)

Place coconut milk and regular milk in sauce pan on medium high heat for 5 minutes or until steaming. Add vanilla and chocolate. Stir until all the chocolate melts. Enjoy!

(Tip: I use whole milk and full fat coconut milk to keep the hot chocolate rich)

The Risk Taking Poem

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,
To weep is to risk being called sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self.
To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure

But risks must be taken, because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom.
Only the person who risks is truly free.
