I love to cook but there isn't enough time in the day for me sometimes. I found a dark chocolate cake recipe, which is primal, and everyone loves it. I wasn't a huge fan of the frosting though. It was too heavy and I just wanted something different.
I kept trying different recipes looking for a frosting I would like that would go with this primal lifestyle. There was a lot of trial and error. Ok, there was more error than success during this process. But tonight was a success. Honey and chocolate go wonderfully together, matched up with organic palm shortening and some real vanilla, you got some fantastic frosting.
Following a primal diet is an adventure. Trying different recipes, looking at old favorites and making them primal while still just as delicious as before. When I did the vegan and vegetarian diets it was such a struggle to find recipes that were tasty, let alone filling. I remember feeling hungry all the time and very few recipes that were modified to fit a vegan and/or vegetarian diet were worth repeating. Those days were no fun for me. Let alone successful. I felt fat, bloated, hungry and bitchy.
Maybe bitchy was just the times but I'm going to blame it on the food.
