Enjoy!

Smoky Apple Chips

1 tsp smoky paprika

1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 225F.

Arrange the slices of apples on parchment lined trays in rows. Make sure you don't overlap the slices, they stick.

Bake for an hour and half.

Remove from oven and start carefully peeling the slices off the paper. By the time, you are done peeling, they will be dry as a chip.

If they still seem a touch wet, put the damp ones back in the oven for another half hour.

Places the slices in a jar and toss with salt and paprika.

Store in sealed containers.

These chips are great with hummus.

Raw Nut and Fruit Bites

Stopping for a quick recipe update. Something that keeps me going during the day, be it for an after-run energy boost or a pick-me-up with coffee or just a bite of a little sweet after lunch... These balls are packed with protein and a boost of needed energy from natural sugars.

Raw Nut and Fruit Bites

1/4 cup pitted dates and cranberries

1 T butter

1 cup assorted nuts, raw

In a small sauce pan, gently heat the dates and cranberries with the butter until the dates are soft and mashable. Let the mixture cool slightly. While still warm, process the mixture with the nuts until they are all in tiny chunks. Butter your hands lightly. When the mixture is cool enough to handle yet, still warm, scoop a tablespoon and roll into balls using gentle pressure in the palm of your hands.

Store in an airtight container for upto two weeks, if they last that long! :)
