Dates Fingers

Baking in general means almost everything to me. People think I bake because I'm super healthy, I mean yeah I eat healthy and I cook healthy, but who said I don't buy breads, cakes or cookies?... 

Sometimes I have guests are coming over and I'm not prepared, I take it easy on myself and grab some cookies and cake from the local store, but deep inside I wish I just did some homemade cookies. I know there is a lot of easy-no time recipes to bake . Last minute baking doesn't work with me, if you do you are lucky..

Baking especially making dough-bread helps keep me happy, balanced and grateful. Mixing the right quantities of the right ingredients for the right amount of time at the right temperature and you will end up with something beautiful and delicious. And as you get better and know how certain ingredients work with other ingredient, you can mix things up and be creative.

These are date fingers,paste date rolled with a homemade dough. Same way if you're making pizza or bread dough, a bit more oil in this recipe for the crunchiness.

Dates are sweet, and I loveeeeeeee sweet. As we all know dates have an excellent nutrition, contain several vitamins and minerals, in addition to fiber and antioxidants. However, they are very high in calories since they are a dried fruit. But here why I came up with recipe. Eating one or two from these date fingers give you all the sweet cravings, energy. I usually like to have it before my workout and I call it my POWER MEAL .
