Prepare to experience a taste of the past with these Roman-themed stuffed dates! The ideal balance of flavour and texture is produced by a few invigorating ingredients, which is why this recipe has stood the test of time.During the era of the Gladiators Roman Stuffed Dates, or Dolcia Domestica, was a favourite among Ancient Rome's aristocracy and commoners alike. Food vendors would traverse the steps of the Colosseum selling this popular snack. They were so delicious that they transcended social class and became a favourite among spectators, from senators to stone masons. They became a staple of the street food culture that surrounded the Colosseum.These dates are really, really good. You could grind the nuts into a fine paste, but I like the texture a lot when they’re left a little coarse. They’re sweet from the dates and the honey, but the salt and pepper balance it so well (highly recommend the long pepper here).

Today I made these cookies to use up leftover Dates and Walnuts, which had been sitting in my pantry for a long time. I used my Basic Cookie Dough, but I reduced the amount of Flour as I wanted to add a lot of Walnuts and Dates. The cookies were really delicious and very sweet because I added a lot of Dates.

This eggless, sugar-free, butterless Dates & Walnut Cake is a vegan cake which is simple and rich cake loaded with dates and walnut and almonds.The cake is processed and sugar-free. It has all the natural sugars from dates and there is no added white, brown, or any form of sugar. This cake is also all-purpose flour free as it is made with whole wheat flour. A bit of a challenge as it did not rise too much.The cake has a nice texture. You will not miss the butter, sugar, or eggs here. It comes out soft and chewy.Adjust the quantity of the dates according to your preference and sweetness of the dates. Any type of dates can be used here. But I would recommend using a soft variety of dates. A soft variety of dates will easily form into a paste and mix well in a cake. A soft variety of dates is also sweeter as compared to dried ones.This makes an ideal after school snack, lunch box treat or guilt free dessert.

‘Tsubu-an’, Sweet Azuki (Red Bean) Paste, is very popular in many Asian countries. As it is sometimes called Azuki Bean Jam, it is made with a lot of Sugar. This ‘Dates & Azuki Paste’ is only sweetened with Dates. You can add some Sugar to make it sweeter, but you wouldn’t need a lot. This is a very natural and healthy alternative.

The filling of Dates & Walnuts can be replaced with Chocolate, Crunchy Peanut Butter, OR etc. Making these cookies can be a fun family activity, though it might be too difficult for young children.

It's a popular choice for during winter and is celebrated for its health benefits, as it typically contains no added sugars.Like I said, there are no added sugars in these energy balls.

For added flavour, consider incorporating spices like cinnamon or nutmeg and seeds like pumpkin and melon seeds..Dry fruit laddu is not only a delightful treat but also serves as an energy booster due to its rich content of healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients from the nuts and dried fruits.Dry fruits laddu stays good for a few days at room temperature and for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.These dry fruits laddu is for anyone who is looking for an easy-to-make, rich, and delightful snack which is soul-satisfying and nourishes your body.

These are a nice little healthy snack. They're best eaten chilled, straight out of the fridge.How to adapt this recipe:Start with a base of oats, tahini and melted coconut oil. Oats provide bulk, while the tahini and coconut oil both provide flavour and help it to all stick together.Now you can experiment with the additional ingredients:✨ Prunes, dates or other dried fruit add sweetness. Alternatively, use a sweetener, like honey.✨ Orange zest adds a nice zingy bright flavour that counters the oats and tahini which can be quite claggy otherwise. It's a strong flavour so if you don't like orange, leave it out✨ Cinnamon is a nice earthy spice. Maybe try allspice or a little ground cardamom as alternative?✨ Salt is the magic ingredient! Lovely with sweetness of dried fruit for sweet/salty vibe✨ Try adding a handful of nuts✨ Swap the sesame seeds for ground flaxseeds or leave out completely.

I’m surprised to find that shop bought ‘healthy-looking’ crackers can contain oil, processed flour and even sugar so today I’m making my own from just seeds and water.One of the most versatile ingredients that exists is hemp. Not only can it be made into fabric, fuel and medicine but it is super healthy to eat. Evidence has been found in Asia that it is one of the earliest crops to be cultivated, around 8000 BCE. It’s a complete source of protein, contains heart-healthy fat, rich in vitamins and minerals as well as having antioxidant effects and is good for the health of skin and joints. The King of England, King Henry VII, thought it was so important that farmers were fined if they didn’t grow it.The secret ingredient to hold these crackers together is chia seeds. Once water is added, they become gelatinous. Any combination of the other seeds can be used as long as they add up to the correct quantity but the chia seeds are essential.As regards seasoning, garlic or onion powder, pepper, chilli flakes or dried herbs go well. My favourite though is za’atar, a beautiful aromatic condiment that has been considered one of the highly prized ingredients of ‘royal ointment’ and traces have been found in the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun.Back to the hemp … I’ve made a simple seed butter by throwing hemp seeds into a food processor. As they churn, they magically turn into a creamy butter which makes a good accompaniment to the crispy crackers.

Based on a recipe shared by Shital last year, I love these snacks because they are healthy but the salt and fat make them very satisfying. You can make these snacks with anything you can find in the kitchen cupboards, any mix of seeds, nuts or even tinned chickpeas. You can eat them on their own or sprinkle them on salads and even pasta dishes. #budgetbasics

During Ramadan muslims fast from the break of dawn until sunset, the fast is often broken with dates. In many households the dates are served in various ways. One of my favourite are with cream and chocolate. 😋This recipe can be used to make as many or as few of these as you like. #ramadan

Muesli or granola? Both are made with oats, nuts, fruits and seeds but typically muesli remains unbaked and granola is sweetened and baked with oil to form clusters.It all began around 1900 with a Swiss physician called Dr Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Benner who wanted to combat the ill effects of tuberculosis through improved diet. Far from being a nutritionist, Bircher-Benner first conceived the idea while studying medicine at the University of Zurich, experimenting with the effects raw food had on the body and later using himself as a lab rat after falling ill with jaundice. His recovery was proof-of-concept for the health benefits of raw apple, nuts and oats mixed with water, lemon juice and condensed milk.Apfeldiätspeise (Apple Diet Meal) as Bircher museli was then known was intended as a starter to every meal, like bread and butter is today. Then, for a long time it became a Schweizer Znacht, a Swiss supper at night. But breakfast? Never!Nowadays, our supermarket shelves are stacked with packets of muesli and granola but often include sugars and narsty oils.These bars are unbaked but made with toasted nuts and rather than bind with oil, I have used dates, honey and nut butter. They are a good source of fibre and protein to help curb cravings between meals.#GlobalApron

It took me ages to actually start making home-made granola (basically toasted muesli) because it seemed such a palarva getting all the ingredients necessary to make it. But actually it's really versatile and you can change grains, nuts and fruits according to what you have handy. Also it keeps well in an air tight container for weeks. So lots of healthy breakfasts in store once you do get round to making it. Delicious with yoghurt, kefir, soy milk or normal milk.

Inspired by a recipe from Mark Bittman for "Braised and Glazed Carrots." I used parsnips instead, flavored with a touch of nutmeg and dates to give them a well-rounded sweetness. I threw in some left over chickpeas I had too; I found it nice, but just leave out if you don't have any.Serves 4 small servings or 2 large. This would go well with carrots instead of parsnips as well.

Vegan flapjack. Great for breakfast on the go. #vegan #flapjack #snack #breakfast #healthy #nuts #seeds

#mycookbookIf you like dates, you’ll love these! So super simple to make. And the end result is sweet, chewy and delicious, but with greater nutritional value than sweets and no refined sugar. Yummy!Edited to add that I’ve discovered if you keep these in the fridge, they are even chewier and taste like caramel - therefore with the peanut butter and chocolate they taste like a Snickers bar 🤩

Healthy breakfast is must, important meal of the day but actually it can be a snack too !! It is so healthy and delicious & keeps you full for longer. I like to eat this as a breakfast at least 2-3 days a week. I change the toppings according to whats avail in my fridge #mycookbook
