CHOCOLATE CHERRY BROWNIE BITES

Ingredients (makes about 24 small truffles)

1 cup of cashews
½ cup of hazelnuts
¾ cup of soft dates, pitted and finely chopped
¼ cup + 1 Tbsp. of cacao, unsweetened
¼ cup of dried cherries
2 Tbsp. of water (for binding)
2 Tbsp. of extra-virgin coconut oil
1/8 tsp. of Himalayan crystal salt or sea salt (for flavor balance)
¼ cup of cacao nibs, finely chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Combine cashews and hazelnuts in a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Process until finely ground.
Add dates, cacao, cherries, water, extra-virgin coconut oil and salt.
Mix until well combined.
Shape the brownie dough into small truffles and garnish with finely chopped cacao nibs.
Place the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
These truffles will stay fresh for at least 1 week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Are you allergic or overly sensitive to cacao? Replace it with ¼ cup of carob powder, and garnish the truffles with ground hazelnuts or dried coconut. Carob powder is a lot sweeter than cacao, so start by adding ½ cup of dates to the dough instead of ¾ cup.

You’re sitting in the airport, ready to board, and thoughts of every plane crash you’ve ever read about keep barging into your head. You try to shake them off, reminding yourself that plane travel is safer than driving a car, but it doesn’t work. You’re going to the doctor next week to have that mark on your thigh looked at and you think it’s probably nothing, but worst-case scenarios float into your head 24/7 and distracting yourself doesn’t work. Why is that?

DUMPED, BUT NOT DOWN ( HOW TO DEAL WITH REJECTION)

Rejection is a fundamental law of the (social) universe. But if you laser in on every dis, you'll likely trigger a self-fulfilling prophecy. Rejection-sensitivity is on the rise, but you can learn to brave even the biggest brush-offs. Everybody hurts. In ways big and small, we are all snubbed every day of our lives. Of course, we can't possibly like everyone who likes us or join every group that would have us as a member, so we constantly let others down, too. It's the way the social universe operates.
