Good Morning friends! Happy Monday! I hope this finds you all well and that you had a beautiful and relaxing weekend. We had a lovely one here. We plodded around the home and got a few little bits done on Saturday and then we all curled up and watched a movie in the afternoon, such a nice way to relax after a busy week. Sunday morning was Church and then in the afternoon I drove down to Sydney as I bought a ticket to the “Ministry of Food – Kitchen talk with Jamie Oliver” ….. to be in the same room as this great man was AMAZING! Woo hoo! “Inspirational” doesn’t come close to describing him and all he does to help others all around the world. He is funny, charming, genuine, caring & of course can cook like not many others! His passion to teach people to cook (of all ages), reduce “crap” food & stop our growing rate of obesity & food related health issues is just part of why I think he is amazing and I know that the majority of you would agree with me!
I wanted to re-post this favourite recipe of mine on here for you all today. It was on my old blog (a few years back) but when I transferred over to this new page it got lost ….. and that is a sad thing to happen to a yummy recipe!
This is quick, easy, healthy, homemade, gluten free, dairy free, preservative and additive free, egg free, nut free and YES …. TASTY!!!!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! (Perfect for the lunch box!)

2/3 cup sesame seeds – toasted (90g)
1/2 cup chia seeds (80g)
1/4 cup maple syrup (55g)
8 medjool dates (100g)
1 tblspn cacao
Place a 30cm piece of foil down on the bench and on top of that a piece of baking paper.
Place the sesame seeds and chia seeds into a food processor and blitz well. (TMX = 5 seconds speed 9)
Add the remaining ingredients and blitz again until well combined. (TMX = 10 seconds speed 8)
Place mixture onto the baking paper and using your hands form into the shape of a log.
Roll up the foil/baking paper nice and tight and fold over or twist the end (should end up looking a bit like a Christmas bon bon!)
Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into 1cm pieces and enjoy!
Delicious to eat as is or would be amazing as an addition to a cheese and biscuits platter!
