We were on the lookout for a good on-the-go breakfast item when Mr. He Cleans ran across an Alton Brown recipe for Seedy Date Bars. The name of the recipe, I have to admit, is awesome just by itself – but not as awesome as the tasty and healthy ingredient list. Well, of course I… Continue reading Nutty Date Bars

Banana Date Walnut Bread (grain-free)
Faced with rapidly blackening bananas in the fruit bowl, I turned to the ever-popular means of using them up…banana bread.

Every… Continue reading Stuffed Bell Peppers and Pecan-Stuffed Dates
Chicken Pecan Salad
I’m always on the lookout for good chicken salad. I like it with nuts and a touch of something sweet, like dates or other dried fruits. Sometimes I find a good tasting version in the deli section of a grocery store, only to make the mistake of looking at the ingredients to find all sorts… Continue reading Chicken Pecan Salad
