I'm not sure where my time went or what I did. It was one of those black hole experiences where a timeless vortex sucks my day away. You know those days where you look back and you were busy the entire time, but accomplished nothing.
No excuses, I didn't go to the grocery store and here lies the problem. I had absolutely nothing to serve the twins for breakfast in the morning. The babies are on a grain free/dairy free diet and we had no fruit, no leftovers, no eggs, no peanut butter, etc. So now what?
I was seriously considering making a midnight grocery run (yuck!) when I spotted two ripe avocados lying on the counter. Avocados are not on the naughty list so I sat down and brainstormed. What goes with just about everything? That's right! Chocolate! Cocoa powder and avocado went into the food processor with a little vanilla and honey. I blended it up and, ta-da, pudding!
The children loved it, especially the babies. My husband and I sampled it and thought it was yummy too. Am I saying I served dessert to my kids at breakfast? Yep. We have breakfast for dinner, so why not dessert for breakfast! We're breaking all the rules now. Watch out! I might get crazy and have lunch for dessert (ok, that one's not going to happen).
1/4-1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Put everything in food processor and blend until smooth. Add some whipped topping or chopped nuts to make a pretty presentation. I had neither. Go figure.
****Since this post, my youngest, one of the twins, has had a reaction to chocolate. It pains me to say that chocolate has been added to the naughty list.
