Energy At Last and Coconut cupcakes

I felt so much better at roller derby practice today. I skated the entire practice without having to take a break! (Except to skate to my water bottle). It made all the difference in the world to eat and to pack on the protein. I'm exhausted now of course but I'm so happy. Of course when I got home I had to eat, probably way too much. It all fit on a small plate though. I don't even use the regular plates. I'll fill them up. I had homemade garlic cumin yogurt with my roasted chicken and cauliflower with cheese. For dessert I ate about 1/3 cup of homemade 24 hour yogurt with a small apple and walnuts in it. I also ate one of my coconut cupcakes (no frosting of course). I keep telling myself they are ok to eat since I used Stevia for the sweetener! :) I made them without the jelly inside them. Here is the recipe from Elana's Pantry website. I substituted the agave nectar with 2-3 packets of Stevia or the naughty vanilla flavored Splendra. I used a little bit of homemade coconut milk to make it less thick since I omitted the agave nectar.
