Make Your Dreams Possible! - With Founder of Create Magazine, The Art Queens, and Co-Founder of PXP Contemporary Gallery Ekaterina Popova

We have a long authentic chat with founder and CEO of Create Magazine Ekaterina Popova. Join us for this raw and fun conversation where we chat about everything from successes, failures, community, black bean cookies and Harry Potter! Ekaterina Popova or Kat for short is an artist who believes that our entire life is a canvas and we have the power to create anything we desire. Her mission is to empower artists and give them the tools to take responsibility for their own career and find validation and success from within. She is the CEO of Create Magazine, Artist, leader of the Art Queens, Mentor Coach, Author and so many other beautiful things!  HERE IS THE COOKIE RECIPE YOU ALL ASKED FOR!! XO Brandi’s Cookies (otherwise known as POOP COOKIES) If you are like me you will in a rush flop all these things into a giant mixing bowl without measuring and hope for the best, if you aren’t like me and love to measure here are the approximate kind of things I throw in (there is a lot wiggle room with these) have fun! BONUS these are gluten free and full of protein and other good things, that ultimately make you poop… WET 1 can of black beans with juice 2 eggs 1 cup of brown sugar (or any sugar substitute) 1 tsp salt 6 dried dates (if you have them if not fuck it, but they make them chewy and more delicious) 1/3 cup nut butter (any kind) ¼ cup of butter ¼ cup plain yogurt (again not against the law if you don’t have it) ¼ cup hemp hearts (for digestion and other good stuff) ¼ cup chia Blend with that blender stick thing (if you don’t have one you need to get one) until the cows come home!!! DRY (don’t blend) ½ cup almond flour ½ cup coconut shredded ¼ cup sunflower seeds ¼ cup pumpkin seeds You can add or take away any other kind of nut my favorite thing is to add cashews because they are amazing in these! 1 cup oats 1 cup of dark chocolate chips I hope that’s everything! Give or take any of these ingredients, get creative! I make about 60 of these on a big cookie sheet placing them very close together because they don’t move. We keep them in the freezer for some reason they are the BEST that way! I have 4 boys in the house and these are gone in 48 hours! The most amazing part is that I eat these instead of reaching for junk and they keep this busy Mama’s energy high because they are packed full of protein and other good stuff! Enjoy!
