Wow! That was quite the Christmas break for me as I didn't blog, check out other blogs or even check my email for that matter. We have been pretty busy around here, baking, spending lots of time with family, doing a lot of family outings and I even remodeled my bedroom, which I now can call my "sanctuary" complete with fresh herbs growing in pots and my favorite part, a lock on the door:)
Now that my break is over and my sanctuary complete, I am ready to get back to blogging. I have been waiting to share this yummy new recipe Big Woman and I tried over the break and just loved. I got the recipe from my Herbal Legacy newsletter that comes to my inbox weekly, with just a couple tweaks we found one yummy treat.
The Recipe
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup coconut sugar (or sugar of choice)
Blend to a coarse powder in a food processor or high powered blender.

Roll into balls or press into mold to form a shape, whenever Big Woman is in charge she always chooses the pretty way to do things, so we opted for a mold. Once they are pressed hard into the mold you can immediately pop them out and they are ready to eat.
