My weekend of baking

I just love the weekends! Who doesn't? You get to do fun stuff and really anything you want. I love to do several things on the weekends. On Saturdays I love to do something with Justin and usually something out. We've started to try out new things every Saturday.

I'll do another post for our Saturday fun day.

But Sundays are another thing. We go to church and then do relaxing things. We didn't go today because the pastor was out and we decided to play hooky.

We usually do our own thing and mine is to BAKE AND COOK! Especially lately that I've found so many amazing recipes.

Today I made a few things that I've been dying to try out.

I made my first attempt at making Lara bars and the Rustic Peach Galette from chef Chloe. You can check out hers here.

First, my Lara bars...

Only 5 ingredients!

first bite

The ingredients: dates, cashews, chocolate chips, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract!! I put everything in the food processor. Then rolled it into a ball, halved it, placed each between two sheets of saran wrap and formed into a bar.

Here's what a Lara bar looks like

I made mine thinner. After you shape them, they're refrigerated. They were sooo good!

Next my Peach Galette.

Utterly amazing! Unfortunately, I was so full from dinner that I only could fit two bites. I'll have dessert for tomorrow!

Chef Chloe is fantastic and I can't wait to make more of her stuff. You can read more about her at her blog, and she's only 22!


As for the Lara bars, that recipe comes from another blog I love, Oh She Glows. I'll be making the other flavors of Lara bars also from her site. Up next banana!
