As some of you know I am trying to cut Wheat, Meat, Dairy
and Processed sugars out of my diet.
and Processed sugars out of my diet.
I think I succeed 70-80% of the time.
This week a friend gave me a lovely recipe that had been passed to her by a friend
so I am passing it on to you as it is truly yummy.

Chocolate Nut Slice
In food processor chop
3 cups nuts and seeds (soaked and dehydrated if you want…) until fine – or coarse, your choice then remove and put in bowl for later.
I used 2 cups of Almonds plus 1/4 cup Linseed's, 1/4 cup Sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cups Sesame seeds.

You can use any combination
In processor put :
200g dates
1 c coconut
½-3/4 tsp salt depending on taste (3/4 works for me!)
and process till well chopped up
add (this stuff below I put in saucepan and warm till it blends then add it to the above stuff)
1tsp vanilla
5tb honey (or leave out and add some stevia)
5tb coconut oil – or I use a combination of coconut oil, flax seed oil, red palm oil and cocoa butter to keep it firm
3 tablespoons of cocoa or you can use almond butter if you don’t want cocoa.
Optional – I add might add kelp, maca powder or any other goodies.
Once well combined add the nuts and seeds
Once all combined you can add ½ c raisins at the end but only process enough to mix through not to chop up
Press into container and leave to set. ( I leave mine in the fridge)
Enjoy.
On the sewing front I have been working on Pixie Shoes and Hiawatha Headbands
plus doing a bit of dying.
I just love the colours that I dyed yesterday.
