frozen cherries + coconut milk “jubilee”

So I’ve been making this mess of a “dessert” for months now. Pretty much ever since Costco started selling ginormous bags of frozen cherries. It’s actually become kind of a problem for me,  like I’m obsessed with eating it. There’s been so many nights that I can’t wait to put the kids to bed so I can sit down with a bowl of these and eat every little bite up. Then go make myself another bowl. See? It’s a PROBLEM PEOPLE!!

I digress. I never thought to make it into a blog post because it just seems too easy to make and not worthy of an entire post all to itself. But this last week I posted a crummy iPhone photo of it to my Instagram and got so many comments! I figured why not! Who cares if it’s easy, it’s an idea and it’s something people will looove.

I realize now that I really have no idea what a “jubilee” really is, but that’s ok. I like the word and am gonna leave it. 🙂 Even if this is nothing like a jubilee! And no, I don’t want to Google it and see what it is and burst my bubble.

And (hypothetically speaking of course) if I ever ran out of cherries and really wanted more, this is GREAT over frozen pineapple too! Like sitting on a beach in Hawaii slathering that delicious coconutty suntan lotion all over you. I mean, hypothetically of course! 😉

Make sure you wait a minute or so before you dig in and let the coconut milk form a nice frozen shell around the cherries. And if you’re someone who eats your candy in a particular way, you’re gonna love this even more. You know who you are. The ones that eat the chocolate edges around a Reese’s first, or when you’re eating a Cadburry Mini Egg, you gently crack the candy shell while it’s in your mouth first then move on to the rest. You know what I’m talking about. And if you don’t… well, you’re probably the weirdo. 😉

Last bit, customize this how you will. If I don’t have chocolate chips at the house I’ll sometimes ad a small drizzle of honey over the top. And truthfully it depends on if Costco has TART frozen cherries or SWEET frozen cherries on deck. They keep switching it up on me. To the untrained eye, I’m sure most people never notice. But me? Yeah, I clearly do.

    I am wondering what type of coconut milk you use. Do you use full fat coconut milk from a can or a carton of coconut milk. This looks delicious and I am excited to try it!

Including myself. After that, I asked people to Including myself.  After that, I asked people to elaborate if they were willing. I received hundreds of messages with similar themes.  Increases in levels of anxiety, negativity, loneliness. Parents struggling working from home while managing distance learning. Despair, monotony. Unappreciated teachers. People experiencing loss of loved ones on top of it all.  Changes in tolerances levels of what we were willing to accept in relationships and society. Reevaluating careers, relationships and more.  Reading all of your messages, I kept finding myself saying “Uh huh, yep, totally, me too”. I didn’t feel so alone in this and wished I could share all of the responses with you as well.  So let’s do it here. If you’re comfortable, share in the comments how you’re feeling. Others are in the same boat and it helps knowing you are not alone.  In the meantime, it’s something to start turning around. For all of us, and I firmly believe we can. I’m planning to start finding guests and topics for @getwellthypodcast that will help us address this.  I’m also going to share one (little) thing on my stories every day that brings me joy or happiness. My hope is that it will help trigger something in *your* day that brings you joy that you can focus on. I encourage you to share your moments and tag me as well.  I firmly believe all of this will make us stronger in, we just need to actively pull out of this to get there.

Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold salads. Like ice cold.  Like this Thousand Island Wedge Salad. 🥰  I love me a wedge salad but sometimes hate that it doesn’t feel like a complete meal... so I changed it up a bit and added some egg for protein. And bacon because... bacon!  What do you think? Are you in salad season yet or still on soup season?

These Cherry Bourbon Chocolate Truffles will make These Cherry Bourbon Chocolate Truffles will make you feel like the world’s finest chocolatier... or Lucy in the scene where’s there’s chocolate everywhere and she’s stuffing ‘em in her bra.  Either way, they’re delicious and actually supper easy to make.  Besides, we all know the only way to say “I love you” and mean it is with some chocolate and a cheesy card. At least it’s not Palmer’s. ☺️  Ok really though, these truffles are the shizzzz. In fact, just make them for yourself and share them with no one.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cherry-bourbon-chocolate-truffles-recipe/
I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now (blah) but here’s a throwback to when @thepetitepanaderya and I got to be a part of the SB Halftime field team crew in 2016.  It has always been on my bucket list to be on the field for the Halftime show, so when SB was here in Santa Clara, I was going to find a way.  I saw you could sign up to be a part of the field team that puts together the stage so I signed up. It was two weeks of practicing and they paid us minimum wage, although I would have done it for free.  A few hundred people were part of it and we were each assigned to a “cart”. We were taught exactly what to do, how to assemble the various parts of the stage and QUICK. It all had to be put together in around 7 minutes.  We weren’t allowed to have any cell phones out during practices and signed confidentiality waivers. The second week we got to watch the performers rehearse (over and over again). JayZ and Blue Ivy were in the stands watching. Bruno Mars was perfection and nailed everything every time. I was blown away at how talented he was live. Chris Martin was so kind. Beyoncé drove in front of us in her golf cart and waved. She also made us wait in the freezing cold while she tried different hair and fan / wind blowing situations.  Game day. There was a staging area a few miles away that we met at and we were bussed in with police escorts down the 101.  Once at the stadium we hung out with our carts waiting our turn. Everyone was so pumped. As SOON as the second quarter ended it was go time and the adrenaline was pumping. Seriously, that feeling was awesome.  Lucky for us, once we finished building our cart we had wait on the sidelines... right in front.  The energy was intense and I loved every minute of it.  Bigger picture, seeing how everyone worked together flawlessly to create the performance was striking. I’ve never experienced teamwork like this and never thought it would be such an impactful experience.  It was one of the BEST things I’ve ever done as silly as it sounds. Everyone who does it city after city says the same thing.  If you ever have the chance and find the SB in your town, do it. Trust me.
Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone? While some (most) p Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone?  While some (most) people are likely to be shoveling Cool Ranch Doritos down the batch tomorrow... we’ll be whipping up a batch of these Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS!  Yeah, I know. It’s kind of obnoxious because Cool Ranch Doritos are the sh^%. But these at least give you that same zesty flavor and way more than nutrients. I’m kinda obsessed!  Or just eat the Doritos. 🤷🏼‍♀️  While we’re talking chips? What’s your fave? I think mine are the Cool Ranch Doritos.. what can I say...  Now I’m feeling like I sold you on the Doritos rather than the chickpeas! Whoops.  Anyways. Recipe for the CHICKPEAS in my bio.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cool-ranch-roasted-chickpeas/
