We hit up the grocery store early Saturday morning and spent the rest of the day sitting in the wonderful AC watching TV and making these delish no-bake (no oven for us!), healthy chocolate coconut coffee balls. Don't worry! They don't take long to make :-)
The recipe comes from Mark's Daily Apple: To read more: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/cocoa-and-coconut-snacks/#ixzz2VNF6r1uw
1/2 cup each:
- Almonds
- Walnuts
- Pecan nuts
- Hazel nuts
- Pumpkin seeds
- 3-6 dates
- 2-4 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
To taste:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Freshly ground coffee
- Shredded coconut
Instructions:
Run the nuts and pumpkin seeds in a food processor until ground into a fine flour.Remove the nut flower and grind the dates and shredded coconut in the food processor until smooth. Mix these ingredients together with coffee and cocoa powder according to taste. Finally, add the coconut oil and mix it all together by hand. Roll the paste into small nibbly balls and sprinkle them in shredded coconut.
By Saturday night we were ready for a change of scenery but knew we'd still need AC, so after a quick review of what was playing at the local theatre, off to the movies we went! We saw EPIC, which was fun and light-hearted. It reminded me of Fern Gully - I know, I'm dating myself!! - but the music was good and the cast was great to listen to. We gave it two thumbs up!
Sunday was filled with sleeping late, BRUNCH!, a quickly sorted basement project - Isabelle is super fast! and playing with Reese - who truly enjoyed having 2 people chase him for the ball :-)
