It’s New Year’s Eve. You need an appetizer to bring to a party, but you can’t have gluten, soy, dairy, corn or nuts (welcome to my world). You want to make something relatively healthy and that won’t require you to stand on your feet for hours in your kitchen.
Enter bacon-wrapped dates. With a twist. A spin off the traditional version that merely subs goat cheese for coconut butter and regular bacon for turkey bacon!
They’re delicious little delicacies!
what you need:
dates
artisana coconut butter
turkey bacon
olive oil
toothpicks
what you do:
1. using a sharp knife, slice the dates on one side (the long way) and remove the pits
2. fill centers with artisana coconut butter
3. gently press and reform dates around coconut butter
4. coat pan with olive oil and cook your turkey bacon (I like mine pretty well done)
5. roll stuffed dates in turkey bacon, piercing with a toothpick to secure
they’re so irresistible…
you just might have to have one…
or two… before you make it out the door!
