Good Morning! I hope this finds you all happy and healthy and that you had a beautiful weekend! 

We had a lovely weekend. My parents live in the Hunter Valley so we dropped our 4 children off to them for the day and hubby, Bekah and I spent the day looking around the wineries, wine tasting, cheese tasting and sight seeing. It really is a beautiful Country we live in! Seen as though I am allergic to grapes I was the designated driver but I still enjoyed the day just as much….we had a lot of laughs and it will add to some lovely memories for Bekah to take back to America with her when she leaves us in a months time.

Sunday was beautiful also, a great Church Service with a beautiful message and then Miss 11 and I hit the shops in the afternoon as she has had a growth spurt and needed a few new things to wear! It’s always lovely spending quality time with my children individually. 

I am excited to share this recipe with you all that I created last week. It was a HUGE hit and it was loved by all….my kids only disappointment was that they couldn’t take it to school as it has macadamia nuts in it….they made up for it though as it was the first thing they asked for when they walked in the door after school, even before taking their bags of their backs! Funny!

I hope you and your family and friends enjoy it also….

slice of coconut heaven

base

1 cup almond meal

10 medjool dates

1 tblspn chia seeds

1 tspn maca powder (optional)

1 tspn coconut oil 

top

1 cup macadamias

3 medjool dates

1 ½ cups desiccated coconut

2 tblspns maple syrup

1 tspn coconut oil

Put all the ingredients for the base into a food processer and process for 1 minute. Use your fingers to push this mixture down firmly into a 20cm square lined cake tin to form the base 

Refrigerate for ½ an hour.

Meanwhile, place all the ingredients for the top into a clean food processer. Process for 1 ½ – 2 minutes until reasonably smooth.

Remove base from fridge and spread this top mixture evenly over the base until smooth (once again I used my fingers to do this).

Place in the freezer for ½ an hour then refrigerate until ready to cut and serve. 

Store leftover slice in an airtight container in the fridge.

Note: Times may vary for the food processing steps depending on your processor.

Options: You could sprinkle coconut or chopped macadamias over the top when serving. 

Have a wonderful week and we will chat again soon!

Take Care of You,
