Marathon Mud Pie

"A creamy chocolate peanut butter pudding parfait for breakfast... and before a long run? Why not? Take.a couple minutes to toss the ingredients together the night before and it's ready to dish first thing in the morning! Loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats and a little caffeine from the cacao, it's the perfect breakfast to sustain you through a long workout. I love to have this first thing in the morning before I head out for a long run. (recipe inspired by Oh She Glows - http://ohsheglows.com/2010/04/08/easy-vegan-overnight-oats/)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Growing up, my mom didn't keep any junk food in the house so if I wanted something sweet I had to find a way to make it (or go to a friend's house)! I loved looking through my mom's recipe books and trying to find recipes that I could make. I baked a lot of home made bread from Betty Crocker's Big Red Book, and every holiday, my mom and I would make pies together from scratch. I didn't actually get interested in cooking main courses until I got married and realized that I had to actually put dinner on the table every night. Just as I was starting to get the hang of it, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in May of 2007. This meant that I had to learn a whole new way of cooking - gluten free. I have accepted this as a new challenge and have fallen even more in love with cooking and baking. There is nothing like the feeling I get when I have success with creating a new recipe! My inspiration usually comes from a craving for something that I can't have because it is not gluten free. I immediately go back to my kitchen and learn how to make it myself! I also focus on creating recipes with all natural ingredients and avoiding artificial or added sugars.
