Date nut spread

Toasted pecans

Dates soaked so they soften and purée well

Dates  and nuts in the food processor and pulsed until they are puréed 

Added cocoa powder 

Added coconut water I had from a young Thai coconut. I sometimes use coconut milk too.  

Last ingredient that I add, is toasted unsweetened coconut 

I love to eat this with my waffle in the morning, and when I could eat apples I loved to eat it with apples too.

"Be grateful Juan Pablo...today is especially delicious." After considering this quote from one of the best movies ever made, I decided to make a blog and share some of the things I am grateful for and that I find especially delicious.

I have quite a few dietary restrictions, so I eat some unique things. Mainly, I am gluten free, dairy free, mostly grain free, and limited on sugar intake. With all of these restrictions I am getting more creative with making food.
