If you’d like a healthy treat to share at gatherings or just to enjoy yourself, these little bars are a nutritious and tasty delight.  Just slice a deglet noor date and add a little crunchy salted almond butter or peanut butter and a whole almond, pecan or walnut, then sprinkle with coconut and stevia sweetened dark chocolate chips. You can even mix in a little chia seed and flax for extra crunch, then chill or freeze. This real-food treat is chewy and crunchy, guilt-free, and very satisfying. Better than a candy bar! Enjoy!

Since we’ve been cooking up big batches of quinoa lately, I thought I’d share another recipe for you to enjoy this superfood for breakfast.  This quinoa porridge is inspired by my sister-in-law Chrissy’s favorite oatmeal recipe made with cinnamon, vanilla, almond milk, and coconut. I’ve also topped it with chopped dates and walnuts. You can top it with whatever you’d like–bananas, sliced almonds, chia seeds, blueberries, etc.  Enjoy!
