Recipe and Quote of the Day!

While I was in South Africa this past March I ate a lot of dates and nuts for breakfast. Don't ask me why, but the morning spread down in the restaurant at the hotel always had them out and I loved them!! I was reminded about their amazingness last night so I figured I'd look up a paleo friendly recipe.

Stuffed Almond Dates Wrapped in BACON!

(Can you imagine the pure amazingness of this already)

Ingredients:

20 dates

20 almonds

almond butter

bacon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Put a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.

Cut a slit down the length of the date. Remove the pit and replace it with some almond butter and an almond.

Cut bacon into 2 inch strips (I have found using kitchen shears works best for cutting bacon). Wrap strip around stuffed date and secure with a toothpick.

Place seam side down on the wire rack.

Once all dates are stuffed and wrapped, place sheet with rack on it in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes so that you don’t take off the roof of your mouth
