She brings with her chocolates (of course) and flowers, and love. And, through the kindness of her heart, she was sweet enough to even leave me her secret recipe for these tasty chocolates, of which she says she stumbled upon by accident (and by getting a little messy in the kitchen)..
Ingredients
1 cup coconut oil - melted
2 heaped tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp carob powder
1 heaped tbsp ground flax
1 cup dates - soaked for 1 hour
2 pinches Himalayan rock salt
3 tbsp goji berries
handful of walnuts
Start by melting the coconut oil on low heat in a bain marie, once melted, stir in the peanut butter and stir until all combined and melted together. Rinse the pre soaked dates and pop into your blender, adding the cacao and carob powder, flax and salt, and then blend..
Now, the maiden tells me that she intended for this recipe to be chocolate fudge, but when she went to prepare her dates and blend them up in the blender, she realised she hadn't soaked them for long enough and they were too hard to blend. So, determined not to give up on her chocolate creation, she put her creativity in the hands of the universe to see what would happen, and, oh my word did she end up creating such a delight!
If you find yourself in the same sticky date situation, I'll fill you in with what the maiden tells me is how she went on to create these choccy delights..
Transfer the date and cacao mix into a large bowl and stir everything up with a trusty wooden spoon, the mix will be sticky, but keep on stirring, and then pop in the gojis. Stir some more and then, with a masher, mash the mix until the dates are softened a little, but still firm enough to give a good texture, and why not thrown in a little of your own initiative too..being as creative as you like..whilst also not forgetting to lick your spoon every now and again ;)
Once the mix is all mixed, pour over the melted coconut oil and peanut butter combo and mix until all combined, then sprinkle some chopped walnuts into your preferred moulds, and then spread the choccy mix evenly over the top. Leave to set in the fridge for a couple of hours..and enjoy!

The texture of these little beggars is beaut. They are wholesome, decadent, and perfect for when you're craving something naughty..but nice. As well as a good banana, they shall bring a smile to your face indeed..especially on those days when you need it most!
As well as sharing with me her secret creations from the kitchen, the maiden also tells me that she prays..
She prays for love, She prays for peace, She prays for happiness.
But above all else, She prays for the Wild..the Wild that lives within every being on earth.
Stay grounded. Stay true.
Just be you
