These cookies are perfect! They're vegan, gluten free, sugar free, and deeeelicious!
The dates add such a chewy sweetness to them that can't compare to anything else! Dates are truly one of the best things!
Dates are one of nature's best foods! 
- first of all they are a natural sweetener
- they're high in antioxidants
- high in fibre to keep you full!
- they're a great source of energy
I'll definitely be making these cookies many more times. They're so simple to make and wonderfully healthy.

Summer Squash Bread with Chocolate Chips

8:23 AM 0 Comments


Our garden has produced a lot of huge veggies this year including yellow squash!
We have more than we know what to do with so I decided to get creative with baking. I got to thinking that maybe I could make a sweet bread with some of the squash since you can make things with pumpkin or zucchini so why not squash?
Don't get scared off because there's squash in here. I promise you that it will almost just like zucchini bread except a little more fun!
This bread tastes so good fresh out of the oven. You can eat leftovers cold or heat them up with a slather of peanut butter which makes them even more delicious
