The dried fruit adventure!

-
For some reason I have been struggling with how to perfect making dried fruit in my oven! 

Today I perfected the dried apple slices!

I think the key to my success was getting a mandolin slicer for Christmas. 



I used amazing honey crisp apples. 
Sliced them on level 2 on the mandolin slice.
Laid them out on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
Placed in over at 200 degrees for one hour.
Flipped apples over and cooked for one more hour. 


Anna I polished them off in 30 seconds flat! 

Super yummy, crispy and healthy!

These little energy balls are the best!! First gather up these awesome ingredients! 2 cups quick oats 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I personally like the mini non-dairy ones the best) 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for added super health benefits 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes 3/4 cup natural peanut butter 2/3 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt Now we do this! 1. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, chocolate chips, chia seeds and coconut. 2. Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, salt. Mix well making sure everything is evenly mixed! 3. The HARDEST part of all you have to let them chill in the refrigerator for an hour, then roll out balls about an inch in diameter. 4. Store in an airtight container or in your belly  😝 😝 😝 If you are using containers - 2 balls roughly equals 1 yellow and 1 blue. They are an amazing little treat!!m Now excuse me while I try to ONLY eat two  😩
