Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

May 20, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

Recently, I feel like I rarely have time to sit down and relax. There’s so much going on between work, workouts, friends, & family that there’s little time to just sit and relax. Good stuff, but it still leaves less time that I would like for laziness. I do enjoy being lazy from time to time.

Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

This weekend was no exception with non-stop fun at Blend Retreat 2013! The second event was as fun as I remembered, with a lots of new people to spend time with throughout the event.

Last week was busy getting things done and ready to leave, which left Sunday night (again) for my MMAZ recipe. I have to say I was THRILLED that this week was cook, so I could rely on someone else’s recipe for success. And since simple was what I wanted, I had to make Lauren’s Salted Chocolate Coffee Clusters.

Well, actually Kirk made them while I typed this post. We teamed up to get to bed as early as possible – teamwork for the win! And yes, we forgot the salt. 🙂

MMAZ Memorial Day Break

One important announcement before I turn things over to the MMAZ participants this week. Next week is Memorial Day!! Okay, so you already know that. But I didn’t realize that when I planned this month’s MMAZ ingredients. I like to give everyone holidays off, so MMAZ Eggplant will have to wait until  June 3rd!!

That means you have 2 full weeks to get ready with your meatless eggplant creation. An extra week to brainstorm or bask in your successful recipe creation skills. Your choice! I’ll actually be on vacation for both weeks of Eggplant fun, so I’ll get my act together early.

Okay…enough talk for today – let’s see what dark chocolate recipes you chose to cook this week!! You should also see all of the original creations submitted last week!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
