The easiest Date dessert

7/7/2020

With all the extra dates I've had around the house these past few weeks I've been trying to find ways of creating yummy snacks with these super fruits. Dates are naturally sweet so they make a great healthier alternative for food sweetening and some of the benefits include digestive, skin, and cholesterol health to just name a few. This recent recipe was so easy it almost seems unreal. It can be altered to fit whatever taste you're desiring, and it's a great grab-and-go option for those busy days. ​

Honey Oat Date Bread

This latest recipe find has become the perfect addition to my bread obsession rotation. I'm always looking for healthier, new options to bake and recently most of my breads have used almond flour instead of wheat or white flour, but this recipe brings me right back to the whole-wheat/white flour combo that I've so traditionally loved. It hasn't disappointed and makes for a delicious afternoon treat, or side item to add to the breakfast plate. Just toast and top with a little melted butter and you have a delicious baked good that's unique and even on the healthier side of breads.

Dairy Free - almond flour waffles

I have found, for me, that breakfast is the most challenging time of the day to try and eat healthy. I am, without a doubt, a breakfast gal! I love everything sweet - pancakes, waffles, muffins, crepes - you name it, I probably love it as long as it's sweet and breakfast-y.
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good omelet, a bagel at times and even the traditional eggs, toast and a meat course, but I just can't pass up that sweet treat in the morning.

This is certainly not the healthiest of recipes but, we had this during a family weekend a few weeks ago and it has been on my mind since. With fall right around the corner, this is a winning recipe for those family events, football game tailgates or cool fall evening gatherings. It's easy, tasty, and surely one that will leave folks wanting more!

Whole30 Challenge

Well, guys I have decided to accept another challenge. This is turning out to be the year of accepting challenges - squat challenge, reading challenge, now eating challenge. I'm a little nervous to see what else is in the works for me this year, but there's nothing like testing yourself and your limits. So, I say bring it on! 

I have been hearing non-stop about this Whole30 eating challenge that's been circulating my friends groups and social media. Now, I have never been one to diet or obsess over eating. Those who know me well know that I love nothing more than to grub on some yummy food. So, why I chose to accept this challenge of knocking out some of the yummiest foods from my menu for an entire month? I have no idea! But, here I am coming to the end of my first week of participating in the Whole30 challenge. Boy, it's going to be a long month. I'm excited, feeling good and always willing to accept a personal challenge - it's only 30 days, right?

Now this dish has hands-down been our favorite Whole30 dish. The beef shank combined with the tomato and carrot are enough to make my mouth water just thinking about it. We like to prepare this in the oven the old fashioned way using  our cast iron dutch oven  to really 
Another one of our favorite Whole30 recipes is this simple and flavorful dish.  We like to prepare it with a higher ratio of vegetables that some other versions out there because it seems to give it a better texture and depth of flavor. This meal is easy to make and can be prepared in less than 15 minutes if you pre-cut your vegetables.

Prep Time - 15 minutes
Cook Time - 15 minutes
