Happy Monday to all my fatsecret friends! In the weight loss department I am down 1 lb today. It must be the workout I had early this morning digging out my SUV ... caked in ice and crunchy snow from overnight. I had to drop off my older daughter at school ... it was quite a drive on ice. Thank God I invested in those snow tires late last year. My 9 year old is still not well and is staying at home today. She's still not eating well so I hope her appetite returns soon. I am halfway through putting "Christmas" away for another year.. yippee! I will be making the fatbomb today and I need to run some errands before I pick up my daughter from school so I will be a bit busy. I am eating on plan and still focused on my health goal. I hope I will get a workout in later but not sure there will be enough time. Either way, I am keeping busy and getting things done so it feels good. I will have to catch up on everyone's journal later. Have a great day all!

Hi Eden: For those of us who follow a low carb high fat way of eating, a fat bomb is a treat (the big bonus with this treat is that it is low carb and high fat at the same time). The recipe is:
• 8 oz unsweetened almond butter (or natural sugar-free peanut butter or other nut butter)
• 8 oz raw coconut butter OR virgin coconut oil
• 1 stick butter
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 bar of 85% cocoa chocolate or high cocoa chocolate chips
• Sweetener of choice to taste (you can use Splenda or no sweetener at all if you prefer)
In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the stick of butter, the coconut butter and the almond butter for 1-3 minutes until the are easy to stir together. Once the butters are blended, add in any extras (I add unsweetened coconut flakes) making sure there is still enough butter blend to coat all the goodies. Taste and add sweetener if desired make sure to stir well.
The butter mix then needs to be put in some kind of form to cool. Silicone muffin cups, baking pan, chocolate molds, etc... just make sure it is flexible so you can get the fat bombs OUT of the molds. Melt the chocolate bar in the microwave in a glass dish and add the 2 tablespoons of butter to make it smooth and creamy. Dip your chilled fat bombs in to the chocolate and allow to cool on a piece of wax paper or a silicone sheet. You can also drizzle the melted chocolate over each fat bomb. Store in the refrigerator.
Because of the low melt point of the butter and coconut butter, these need to be kept cold once finished.
