June 26, 2013 Food Swap

Whoo hoo! What an exciting food swap we had on Wednesday June 26th, 2013!



3: 00 pm came and we had a friend show up and swapped fiji apples for apricots. Then shortly afterwards another friend came over with more Caigua seedlings. And I think he swapped a seedling for jam. 

Another friend came and brought Chocolate Almond Bites:

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of raw almonds
  • 1 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 4 tbsp cacao powder 
  • 1/2 cup freeze dried Goji Berries

Directions:
  1. Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender. 
  2. Transfer to bowl.
  3. Use coconut oil, almond milk to add a touch of moisture. 
  4. Roll into balls. 
Alt Options:
Use other nuts instead of almond or mini white chocolate chips. 

As you can see she brought a plateful and well....


We stopped eating, so I could take a picture of the last one.

In between friends coming and going, another friend brought eggs from her hens, and (2) 1/2 doz eggs were well received. 


Lastly, another friend who came the furthest, about 1 hour and 30 mins away, brought us grape leaves, and diatomaceous earth (food grade), and enjoyed the afternoon with her 2 sons playing in my yard.

The afternoon turned to evening, and I thanked everyone for coming, and cleaned up my yard.

Again, thank you everyone for coming see you next week.
