    Coconut Cream Homemade Lara Bars

    April 25, 2016 by burntapple 10 Comments

    Life can change in an instant. I'm one week away from starting my masters degree and I'm not going to lie that I think I'm more nervous about starting my masters than I ever was my bachelor's degree. Now I'm not just proving I'm smart enough to get a degree--they just assume I'm smart enough.

    With that in mind, it will be time to start packing lunches and dinners on the go for me. Today as part of the Secret Recipe Club, I'm highlighting Traci (no not me, but another Traci who is incredibly cool in my book for spelling her name the same way I do) of Cooking With Traci. She has some fabulous ideas for busy on the go meals. Here are just a few of them we found and liked:

    3. To the food processor add the dates, oil and water. Continue to pulse grind until a dough begins to form.

    About Me

    minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes! many recipes are gluten free, dairy free and FODMAP friendly too!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!

    Welcome home...to a REAL home! One that is busy, on the go and doesn't have time to sit all day in the kitchen! 

    So stop in, find a copycat restaurant favorite you've been craving or a tantalizing treat! Bite into a slice of fresh warm bread or find a quick weeknight meal.

    All of our recipes include adaptations for a variety of different dietary needs. Most of our recipes are gluten free and many are dairy free and FODMAP friendly too! All recipes are easily labeled for you.

    Stop in and stay awhile! And don't forget to chat and let me know what recipes you've been craving lately!
