Carrot Date Bites
I think, of all the healthy sweet alternatives, dates have to be my number one favorite! My heart is ever so happy when I can get my grubby little paws on delicious Medjool dates, but when not, the regular cheaper dates are just as good! They’re such a versatile ingredient, and can be used in savory and sweet dishes and desserts. They’re also a great staple to have in the cupboard for when you feel like throwing something together to satisfy that sweet craving. These Carrot Date Bites are great to make for those such moments.

Cajun Spiced Hummus
I’ve recently fallen in love with all things spice! And Cajun spice is pretty high on that list. I’ve been experimenting with different flavor combinations, and really just been having fun in the kitchen! The other day I made a batch of Cajun spiced chickpeas, mixed with some caramelized and slightly charred onions! My-Oh-My! They were absolutely delicious!!! This tasty concoction got me thinking on how I could integrate these two flavors again in a different recipe. The combination of chickpeas and Cajun spice just worked too damn well! I had to combine them again!
