This recipe was enclosed with my power bill, I haven't tried it yet but it sure sounds good and easy too! ;)

Date Nut Crunch Cookies

1 cup pitted and chopped dates

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2 cups crisp rice cereal

1 cup flaked coconut

In a medium saucepan, stir together dates, sugar, butter and egg. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thick. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, then nuts and crisp rice cereal. When the mixture cools enough to handle, roll teaspoon size balls in coconut, gently patting the coconut onto sides of balls.

Tis the season for making cookies!

Plz post your results...thanks!

Can't wait to try this......I have a box of Erewhon rice cereal on hand, and have a potluck/happy hour occasion coming up next week. Someone had previously brought some date rolls.....dates rolled in coconut, and they went over very well....and I could eat them!! In fact, I did eat most of them. People here know about my issues with food, and try to accomodate me, but alas, with multiple food allergies, it isn't that easy and they just don't understand! I bring a dish for others, and bring my own plate of food.

My MIL has made these for years. They are really delicious and improve with age.

Be sure and let the date mixture come to a full boil and cook for a few minutes. If you don't, they don't set up well.

They are my DH's favorites. ;)

Thanks for the tip! Do you think the recipe would work with Rice Chex, broken a little?

They will work with those. My MIL has done that in the past when I ran short on Rice Krispies.

I don't know if others have cooked with dates before, but they really break up in the mixture. You have to keep the mixture moving or it will scorch very easily.

She has done just coconut or just nuts, too.

She'll be tickled when I tell her this old family favorite is making the rounds again.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
