Cacao Date Bars Recipe

I found this original recipe here: Chocolate-Date Squares.
I changed very little. I used Deglet Noor dates as I was out of Medjools. They are a slightly smaller date, so I used 12. I also added a couple of pine nuts to top each bar.
My mini cuisinart was too small for all of the ingredients. Since I really didn't want to use the big one, I just used my blender to mix all of the ingredients.
I used a loaf pan to freeze it.
 Pine nuts are not pictured.
 Pine nuts were added before freezing.
 Wrapped in parchment paper and ready to add to my travel lunches.
This recipe made 6 bars. Each bar was about 1.5x4x.5 inches.

Dinner - March 19, 2013

Dinner tonight was leftover roast beef. I heated it up in the oven with lots of butter. I added a chunk of one of my favorite cheese on the side - Clawson Scarlet White Stilton® & Cranberry. Simple, but good!

Lunch - March 19, 2013

Today's lunch is an open-face ham (Applegate Farms honey ham) and pepper jack cheese pumpernickel sandwich and sliced tomato with mascarpone (BelGioioso) and chipotle powder. I think I am in love with mascarpone. This is the first time I've tried it. I may like it as much as Crème fraîche!

Lunch - March 16, 2013

Ground pork sausage and scrambled pasture eggs:
So simple, but so good. Why buy packaged faux foods when you can eat real food!? It can't be the cost since this meal cost less than $2.00! The media and government have done a great job of brain-washing the past 40 years ...

Dinner - March 14, 2013

Today was a very long day. Traveled over 40 miles on my bike today. Got home after 6. My mom made a quick meal of sliced hot dogs (uncured chicken Rocky Dogs), raw sauerkraut (Sonoma Brinery) and sliced sweet potatoes fried in bacon grease and sprinkled with lemon pepper. Yum!
