Date, Almond & Cranberry Balls - Wordless Wednesday
Wanting to prepare something yummy, yet healthy, for my little ones, I threw 2 cups of pitted dates, 1 and a half cups of slivered almonds and 3/4 cup of cranberries into the food processor. I then drizzled 2 tablespoons of honey over the mixture, to add a bit of familiar sweetness and help bind the mixture together. Then the fun part - turning on the food processor and blitzing until the mixture formed a huge dough ball and came away from the sides of the bowl. Then I simply rolled the mixture into balls. I found it much easier to wet my hands to keep the process smooth and prevent the mixture from sticking to my hands.
The result was sweet, nourishing and most importantly - YUMMY!

What a great way to make the kids eat healthy!
It reminds me a bit of how I made mashed potato snowmen last night to make sure my kids actually ate some mashed potatoes (they cannot stand potatoes).
