From My Kitchen

Guest Blog by Rachel Gorney

From My Kitchen inspired itself, it came to me and I rolled with it. I was jobless,
lifeless and From My Kitchen inspired me to live a life where I do what I love. I spent
some time last year rediscovering myself, I realized I didn’t know anything about
myself or what I wanted in life. I was in a career that I didn’t enjoy and was rather just
living in a mundane routine without thought. Taking time out has been best thing I
couldn’t have ever done. I discovered a lot about who am, what I want from life and
my true purpose. It exposed my love and passion for cooking and due to that “From
My Kitchen” was born.

100% organic, using only the finest natural products and super foods available. All

Ingredients:

• 6 tbsp. Rolled quinoa
• 2 tbsp. Shredded coconut
• 1 tbsp. Cacao powder

• Cacao powder & desiccated coconut for coating

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and mix well so it forms a batter.
2. Test the mixture, if too dry had warm filtered water and combine in the food
processor. If too wet add a mixture of the dry ingredients and combine in the
food processor.
3. From the batter, form small balls. Choosing your desired size. I like bite size
balls.
4. Roll the ball in your preferred coating.
5. Store in an airtight container in your fridge or freezer for up to two weeks.
