You can start your week this way as well if you make this cake- And trust me, you want to make this cake.

Are you ready? Let’s do this!

Thirsty Thursday you say? I am skipping the alcoholic happy hour and treating myself to some milk. Yes, milk. Toasted Hazelnut milk with Cinnamon to be exact. And trust me, you will want to too (It’s divine!). Hazelnuts are so luxurious and I love using them (See my Adaptogenic Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles). I have another recipe up my sleeve that I can’t wait to share which will be coming in a few weeks but for now, let’s get milking! Are you ready?

In celebration of warmer weather (and being done #whoe30) I made these truffles. They are not only a sweet treat but are also adaptogenic. Adaptogenic herbs help the body deal with stress and normalize any imbalances. Kind of cool the power of food, eh? Let’s do this!
