CASHEW LEMON BARS

The cashew nuts makes this sweet and a tad creamy. I love these bars because I really don’t feel guilty giving them to Rowan for dessert or a snack. This flavor combination is one of my favorites. So good.

Cashew Lemon Bars

2 cups raw cashews nuts
1 cup raisins
2  dates
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest of one lemon
Juice of 1/2 a lemon

In a food processor, pulverize cashew nuts until they are about the size of bread crumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and process until well incorporated and sticking together. If the mixture seems too loose, add a little more lemon juice. On a cutting board form the mixture into a square or you can put it into a small baking dish. Wrap in parchment or cling wrap, and chill for about 1/2 hour. Cut into bars.

Also, try this recipe for homemade larabars or this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Cashew bars for a delicious variation.

      I made these yesterday. They are sooooo good! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. My husband and kids loved them and my husband doesn't even like raisins. I think I may try them with craisins next time for him. Thanks again!

      I am so glad you liked them! They are good huh? I think making them with Craisins would be delicious! I also sometimes make them without the raisins and more dates. Yummy!

When I was challenged with my own feelings while parenting, I started creating activities that could help kids and parents open up about their emotions. It was so therapeutic and helpful, so I put my feelings activities together into a book. I created the book that I wanted for my own parenting, and I am so thrilled to share it with you.
Vanilla Blueberry Yogurt Pops. I made this recipe this week after posting it in my newsletter and it was so fresh and yummy, so sharing it here! I used to make these yogurt pops all of the time for my son and he would eat them for breakfast. If blueberries are not in season use frozen wild blueberries or whatever frozen fruit you like. They are really easy to make and you can even add some oats if you want to make them even more nutritious for breakfast. ⁠
Try Flower Breathing 🌸 In my last reel, I showed how to make these cardboard Lavender scented flowers. The "pistol" is scented with lavender oil which is a very calming and make it fun. The act of breathing in and out, calms the nervous system and get kids introduced to breath work. Flip through the images and use it as a guide plus one of the images is instructions that you can screen shot. 🌸⁠
