Snow Play

We don't always get snow here on the westcoast. However, when we do, it sure is something special. Hope it sticks around for Christmas!

Wren wasn't really sure what to do with it so I gave her her bucket and let her be.

The rest of the time she spent "stomping" around the yard (in her words).

Hehe, little snow footprints....ahhh how fun.

Protein balls

Experimented a little and came up with these protein balls. I try to keep them in my fridge at all times for snacks and when a craving hits but I don't want to ruin my meal plan with a cookie.

2 cups of pitted dates

1 cup of unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup of chopped or slivered almonds

1 tsp of coconut oil

1 cup of natural peanut butter 

1. Chop and mash the pitted dates- use hands if needed (I use a blender for this but a food processor would work better)

2. Chop almonds 

3. Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Use hands to knead everything together thoroughly. 

4. Have a little taste. Add appropriate ingredient that is lacking.

5. Roll into 1" balls and refrigerate 

Enjoy!
