New concept for blog

Hi everybody!! I have decided to take my blog in a different direction. I love trying new recipes that I find. I go through magazines, cookbooks, blogs, and I own a thousand kid cookbooks. So I vow to at least once a week post a  family recipe and a kid recipe

Today I will post a lovely toddler snack that Layla and I both just LOVED

I got it from the cookbook titled Organically Raised by Anni Daulter

Roasted Coconut Oat Balls

You need:
1 Cup Almond butter
1/2 Cup honey
1/2 Cup coconut flakes
2 Cups whole grain oats
2 Tablespoons wheat germ
2 Tablespoons ground pistachios

Preheat oven to 350
Mix almond butter and honey in medium sized bowl and set it aside
Mix together the coconut, oats, wheat germ and pistachios in another medium sized bowl.
Pour this mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until it is all toasted to your liking
Form small balls with the honey/Almond butter mix until all of the mix is used, roll balls in the is the toasted coconut mixture.
Place the balls in freezer to firm up. They will not freeze. Serve cold

These are great for breastfeeding moms or a pick me up in the afternoon! I absolutly adore them!!

ENJOY!
