That's right! July 5th was my 1 year milestone! My family and I started juicing on July 5th of 2012 and that started me down the journey of my new limiting nutritional diet that I have been on. It hasn't been easy, but despite the many setbacks I think I would still say it has been worth the changes I have made.
One of my many joys is that WATERMELON is back in the stores! I have eaten many of them already this year... Including getting up on some morning and deciding I'm going to the store JUST to get myself a watermelon. :-) It's the little things in life! ;-)
A had a great discovery this week!
These are amazingly good!!!! I could make myself sick on them... trust me. :-) It was very exciting to find something that tasted kind of like a healthy alternative to candy. :-)
Also I'm fallen in love with the Peanut butter cookie Larabars... PLUS I found a great recipe to make them myself... Well... Toria makes them for me. ;-)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup peanuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine dates, peanut butter, and peanuts in a food processor and puree until mixture starts to stick together. Add a little more water if necessary to help mixture come together.
- Pick up date mixture and using your hands work to squeeze it together into one big clump. Mash it down on a cutting board or sheet of wax paper to form into one even rectangle shape using the sides of your hands (or a knife) to make the edges straight.
- Slice into 8 even squares. For best results store in the fridge, although bars can be kept at room temperature.
Yes, I love these a lot and can't wait to experiment with some other variations... Feel free to try them out however if you are not used to eating the way that I do I'm not sure you will get the same enjoyment out of them.
Ok, I just wanted a quick post to mark my one year! I hope everyone has had a great day!
Philippians 3:14
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
