“What we’re auctioning” Wednesday

I’ve never done a “What I ate Wednesday” because knowing me I’d just make something up for shock value. Like topping my morning oats with Cheetos. But anyone who really knows me knows that’s just crazy: I would NEVER have oats for breakfast!

But Lindsay Cotter of Cotter Crunch fame asked if I wanted to partake in a What I’m Auctioning Wednesday and I was all over that like Cheetos on oats. What I’m talking about of course is The Great Fundraising Act for our dear friend Susan’s cancer fund.  The auction is less than a week away on Monday July 25th and a special page will be set up at Meals and Moves with all items.  Be sure to peruse the whole list of items and see what you want ahead of time!  Tell your friends, lovers, co-workers, kids and parents too!

If you do not wish to purchase an item but would like to  contribute, it is easy to simply donate via PayPal (Janetha’s account from Meals and Moves)

So here is what I am offering up:

Protein Muffin Mix
Who has made a fudgy Protein Muffin? It’s so easy right? Well I just made it easier.  I combined the coconut flour, stevia, baking powder and cocoa powder and I’m selling it as a mix for the auction. All you need to do is add pumpkin (or other starchy carb) and egg whites (or eggs or vegan equivalent). I actually have a jar of mix in my pantry that I use pretty much daily for my absolute favorite 150-calorie snack. Sooo easy! There will be a few of these available for your bidding pleasure.

  You are about 4 minutes away from heaven right there.

I’m also including one of my home-made “Spiced Nutella” Hazelnut butters. It has cinnamon, cardamom and a tiny bit of stevia. It’s ridiculously delicious. Just ask Heather.
