So I feel like we haven’t really caught up properly in ages and I know you are wondering what’s doing over here….oh you weren’t? Well it’s my blog & I’ll cr@p on if I want to. Pretty sure you know how to scroll though so head on down if you want to skip what will undoubtedly be excellent stories & humor. Your loss.
So what’s news with you? On this end it’s business as usual just with a bit more cr@p & puke, and that’s not because I am poisoning Trav with my cooking. Baby G has also developed quite discerning tastes and is quite partial to anything green- broccoli, avocado, spinach, kale, zucchini, grass & leaves, as well as liver, pâté, lamb cutlets, chicken leg bones, kombucha & sauerkraut. What she does not like is puréed chicken & really, who can blame her, the texture is weird and it kinda tastes like nothing. We are also moving to our new house soon which will be fricken brilliant to have windows that close, cupboards and a gate that isn’t tied on with rope. It’s the small things really. Anyway, let me tell you about my balls…..
These lemony balls of delight are just slightly sweet with a great lemon tang. You could easily substitute for lime or orange if you were feeling a bit more love for a different type of citrus. They are your balls, you do what makes you happy. You can probably substitute the coconut butter for another type of ‘butter’, maybe cashew or macadamia. I haven’t tried though it sounds pretty damn good…..BUT don’t go getting all up in my grill if it doesn’t work. I’ll say it again, I HAVEN’T TRIED IT.
1 1/2 cups coconut butter
Juice & zest of 1 lemon or 4-5 drops doterra lemon oil
1/4 cup coconut oil
12 fresh dates, pits removed
2 tbs chia seeds
Coconut flour or dessicated coconut for rolling
Add the dates and coconut oil to the food processor & blend until smooth. Add all remaining ingredients (except the coconut flour/dessicated for rolling) and blend to combine. Roll into balls and roll in the coconut flour before popping into the fridge to set.
