Caitlyn is definately sweet enough on her own, but I wanted to give her a taste of a real sweetness on her birthday. CHOCOLATE! I am not real sure of where this tradition comes from, letting the children play in thier food on thier frist birthday. Not allowing them to have any sweets their whole short life, and then giving them something full of sugar, to run thier fingers wildly through while we laugh at the cuteness of it all. THEN, we wonder why they want to play with their food al the time. And I am sure they are wondering why in the world we won't let them, after all, we did that one time and everyone thought it was so darn cute! If you think about it, it doesn't really make sense.
Well, I went ahead and did it anyway. I mean, who am I to break such a tradition? I made her a healthy one at least. It's called Avocado pudding. It consist of avocados, cocoa, agave syrup, and coconut cream. Then I made a crust of ground almonds and agave mixed. Put some fruit slices in and on top and viola! A yummy dessert that's healthy too. No, I couldn't resist the urge to put a plug in here for healthy treats, it's a passion, what can I say?
