I Can't Hear You....

Look what showed up at the PO today!  

TH has been urging me to use ear protection with Vivian and the FP.  I told him I wanted pink earmuffs- who knew they actually existed!  These beauties don't just look rad, they actually work.  I think they will help with ESPN as well. 

I greedily snatched up two jars of Coconut Manna while in Anchorage a while back.  I haven't really figured out what to do with it, but I was determined to make a nut free icing the other night.  The result was pretty tasty, but I honestly don't know the ingredient measurements as I just added things until it tasted good.  I started with a softened lump of manna.  Into Viv I also dumped vanilla, irish moss gel,  coconut water, and a little liquid stevia and agave.

The "icing" served as a topping for a raw mud pie I made to take to a friend's house.  I started with the Pure 2 Raw grasshopper pie crust that I am obsessed with.  

I made an improvised version of Sweetly Raw's avocado mousse from Just Desserts.  After that layer froze I added the coconut icing and a few of Matthew Kenney's chocolate chips.  I was worried that it tasted a little too hippified, but even my friend's son enjoyed it.  

Question:  Have you used coconut manna at all?
