So I decided to create a snack. No refined sugar. No flour. No baking. Lots of good healthy ingredients. It seems that I am often hungry mid morning and need something with substance to give me a boost. I also want it to taste good and if it has a bit of chocolate, well, even better.
I made this recipe once and then I made it again. Once they had disappeared for the second time, I got busy making them a third time so I could document, write down the method and take a few pictures. I measured carefully and put each item on my nice big wooden cutting board. The plan was to have a board full of piles so you could see exactly what the ingredients looked like. I made the piles and then commenced to process them.
Then
I realized I had not taken any pictures before chopping. That’s me! Getting way ahead of myself and veering from the plan. I was left with a crumby, empty, chopping board, but I’m sharing the photo with you anyway.  (See title image)

My husband has been heard at times to say (in jest of course) that one or another of his loved ones is a bit of a Nut Bar. Well, The newest creation from My kitchen is named in honour of the Nut bars scattered around the country who enjoy a snack every now and then.

Do you have a food processor yet?
Kitchenaid is the brand you want.
They are often on sale at the Bay. Take a break from Starbucks for a month! Make your tea and coffee at home and you will soon have enough money to buy yourself a beautiful food processor. If you don’t like cooking, I suspect it is because

A) You are using dull knives (again, take a hiatus from Starbucks and look into CUTCO. They are my fave)
B) Your cutting boards are too small
C) You are chopping by hand, things that could be chopped, diced or grated in a food processor in a fraction of the time.
D) All of the above

I know I know
Kitchen gadgets are a luxury but really, some of them are a necessary luxury!
