stuffed dates

Simple, simple, simple!! This is a great snack.
dried dated
nuts(any kind you have) coarsely chopped
shredded coconut
seeds(pumpkin or sunflower or both)
-for 4 dates you will need about 1 tsp coconut, 1 tsp nuts, and 1 tsp seeds
-make a lengthwise slit in the dates and remove the pit
-place a little less then a tsp of mixture(coconut, nuts and seed) into the date
-close date around the filling and form into a log or a ball
This is not a complex recipe. In fact I use really whatever I have and I am in the mood for. If I have lots of seeds I my use only seeds and coconut. Maybe I do not feel like coconut- so I leave it out. I have put almond butter in the dates and rolled them in shredded coconut.
-This really is a reminder to be creative and do not forget about the simple recipes!!
