Miraculous Nap = SNACKS!!

My children napped today. All four of them. I did an amazing thing. I put away clean dishes, I started a load of laundry... and I made snacks. Delicious snacks. Please excuse my horrible iPod photos... it was handy.

#1: No Bake Cookies

I used the recipe from here.

1 cup Almond Meal
1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup Coconut
2 Tbsp Ground Flax
2 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Coconut oil.

Mix and form into balls. It made around a dozen... it is hard to know because I kept eating the dough...



#2: Coconut Fudge Truffles

Used the same recipe from a few weeks back. Adapted from here.

1/3 cup Coconut Oil
2/3 cup Almond Butter
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla
Shredded Coconut

Mix first five ingredients, refrigerate until mixture is slightly stiffened. Then form balls in (approximately 1 tsp) and roll in coconut. Store
in the freezer!

#3: Chia Seed Energy Bars

I've been reading energy bar recipes and this is a compilation of a bunch of them... so I don't have a base recipe I went off of.... 

25 Whole Dates (pitted) 
1/2 cup Whole Almonds
1/4 cup Chia Seeds
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder

Pulse all ingredients in food processor. Add more dates if the mixture is too dry. Press into a waxed paper lined container (I used a 6"x8" Pyrex) and chill. Cut when they are chilled. Mine were initially too crumbly, but I added more dates and they are a much better consistency! :)
