I had one evening that I was doing really, really nothing ( yes, we all deserve that! ) but for me doing nothing is mostly ... learning something from articles or browsing some things online. And when I was doing nothing I decided to make something. Something sweet! I wasn't inspired by anything special in this recipe but that was kind of the same ingredients we was using evening before. for Carrot Cake ( witch I will post soon). So I just mixed what I had left in my kitchen and here we go : Dough 12-15 pitted dates 4 teaspoons of cocoa 1/2 cup of oats 1/3 cup of walnuts 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted cinnamon nutmeg small pinch of salt filling 1/3 cup of cashew nuts 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice 1/3 cup of shredded coconut 3 tablespoons of coconut milk from the can ( rich and creamy ) vanilla sugar ( optional ) or vanilla extract agave syrup to taste. In food processor mix all ingredients for dough. Mix about 3-4 minutes ( more if needed) hen ready take it out, put on a table or paper and shape with your fingertips or roller for 2 blocks, about up to 1 cm thick each. Leave in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Than make your filling. Start from shredded coconut, process it for few minutes to make it more soft and than combine all the rest of ingredients for filling. When consistency is smooth and sweet enough, take out the dough and fill in your one block of dough, and cover with other block of dough .Leave in a fridge for about 20-40 minutes ( longer than better). Cut in slices and enjoy ! Hello world!! Yesterday my only one Vegan friend Dorothy visited me and we was cooking all evening. that was a great time. I had a plan to make coconut bites a while ago and we decided to make it for a great evening, so I let Dorothy to make them as she really want to learn new, vegan things to make at home. She did really well!! There were delicious, is an amazing healthy treat for any occasion ! Here is the recipe! Ingredients: for Coconut bites 3/4 glass of Millet 1 and 1/2 glass ( and more, read below ) of Almond or Coconut milk ( I used Coconut ) 1/2 glass of Ground walnuts 4 spoons of ground almonds 2 small packs of vanilla sugar (ABOUT 8 teaspoons or more as much sweet you prefer ) pinch of turmeric 4 tablespoons of shredded coconut, plus more to coat bites Chocolate coat: 0.5 of a cup melted coconut oil 5-6 teaspoons vegan cocoa agave syrup - to taste as sweet you prefer. Cook millet in almond or coconut milk with vanilla sugar and turmeric- longer than better. My millet was advised on a pack to cook about 15-20 minutes but we was cooking it about 30-35 minutes, adding more milk all the time and stir, to make consistency soft, add more sugar if you prefer for your best taste. You need to make sure you let milk to evaporate all the time and add more ( I am so sorry this word is very new to me so I don't know is it right to use in recipes ) to cook long and got soft but sticky enough consistency. . In food processor combine walnuts, 4 spoons of shredded coconut and 4 ground almonds. Mix it all together with cooked millet. You can make it in a bowl stir with a spoon. Shape your bites. You can leave them in a fridge for few minutes. On a side in a small pan or bowls mix the coconut oil, ad cocoa and agave syrup. Let it cool of in a fridge for 10 minutes. Coat coconut bites in chocolate and shredded coconuts. Leave in a fridge for 20 minutes. Enjoy! Also please visit my @vegan Senses Page ( Vegan Senses ) because food is a reason you are here :).

Few days ago when I went shopping I got myself snack : dried chewy apples. I didn't know what to do with them so I ate few and left them for later. On a pack you could see suggestion to eat those apples with cinnamon. I said to myself then.. ' mmm that would be nice!!'.. But I just totally forgot about it later and did nothing, simply left them in a shelf. That suddenly yesterday I went to kitchen and I sad.. ''to lazy to go to shop but I would cook something nice!'' Then I got the idea from a college who staying with us at the moment for a short while, to make rice on milk with apples and cinnamon. I couldn't believe :))) I said BINGO !!! Had everything what I needed to.... here you go, that's results and recipe here :)
Peel one banana and fry in coconut oil, first on one side, then the other, until they're golden brown. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Leave them aside. Taste your rice and ad as much sugar and cinnamon to get your favorite taste. Take a bowl and start to put layer of rice and then mousse, rice and mousse, on the top use fried bananas, more mousse, raw banana and some shredded coconut. Serve cold or warm, ENJOY that heaven on earth !!!
