This afternoon I got home from work and did the workout I didn’t do this morning. I decided to try the newest EA Active Wii game and will be doing the 6 week challenge. Have you ever done the EA Active challenge?
I was craving sloppy joes tonight and thought I had lentils to make them with but I couldn’t find them (we still are unpacking) so I decided to try something new Spicy Sloppy Split Peas! I put the sloppy split peas on a bun with dijon mustard and baby spinach and had sauteed purple cabbage and baked sweet potatoes on the side.
Tonight I plan on getting some school work done as well as attempting to do a little more unpacking so we can get all settled in. However first I will enjoy one of my new yummy raw cookies.
Raw Almond Super Food Cookies
Makes 12-15 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raw almond butter
- 2T agave nectar
- 1/2t cinnamon
- 2T cacao nibs
- 2T goji berries
- 1/4 cup shredded dried coconut
- 2T chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Directions:
Mix the almond butter and agave nectar together. Stir in remaining ingredients; the batter should hold together if it doesn’t add more coconut. Scoop out tablespoon size cookies and place on a wax paper lined sheet pan. Cover the cookies and place in the fridge. These do well for 5-7 days in the fridge however you can freeze them and take them out shortly before you want to enjoy.

I have made sloppy joes with lentils before so I imagine the split peas were just as good. Those cookies look delicious and so healthy!
Hi! Your sloppy joes look delish–I need to make this someday! And I am loving the cookies too 🙂
Looks good! I second the sharing of the sloppy split pea recipe 😉
I started the 6-week challenge about a month ago, and I did really well the first 3 weeks. Then I got sick, so I stopped. I’ve been meaning to pick it up again. It’s an intense workout, and I love that I can do it in the privacy of my home. Good luck. Oh, I recently discovered your blog, and I think it’s great. I’ve been thinking about going vegan for some time, so I read a lot of vegan blogs and they always inspire me.
The cookies were very good. I may try to make them sometime.
love you mom
