I’m posting this recipe due to popular demand on my Insta-stories! Follow me, HERE. My chicken and rice soup is super easy, delicious and a dinner favorite over here at the Wagner’s! Read on to get the recipe!
Dates are great! Dates are Great! Ok, let me preface this by saying, dates are not every ones cup of tea. Some either love them, or some hate them. My kids, mainly the boys, refused to even try a date on its own. That’s where my plan came in (insert evil laugh) to introduce them in a way they kids would want to try them! Super simple. Super quick. And super delicious! Read on for a recipe that is sure to please anybody!
What you’ll need:
- Blender or food processor
- 2 cups pitted dates
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter (for Nicky I make a sun butter batch)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
- Remove pits from dates TIP: Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes. Add them to the blender and put on chop mode until they turn mashed. It’s okay if it’s a little chunky!
- Add in oats and peanut butter. Again, you can sub peanut butter for sun butter if you have someone who has a peanut allergy. Blend together.
- Add chocolate chips and blend again. You may have to take a spoon and mix it a bit when it gets stuck in the blades.
- Take a spoon and scoop a good size into your hand and roll the mixture into balls (makes approx. 15)
- Freeze for 15 minutes and take out to enjoy!
I usually put them into a zip lock gallon bag in the refrigerator and the kids will grab and go as they please. Dates are full of fiber and antioxidants and also an awesome substitute for sugar! I’ve even used them in oatmeal cookies!
If you make these, PLEASE share with me! I love to see when subscribers try something I promote and love getting feedback!

You guysā¦.it actually rained here today! And itās cold! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. It doesnāt exasperate my #potssyndrome šš» Today, all 4 kids were home from school and we all played Fortnite together with our neighbors. I love days like today. I didnāt run errands, I didnāt clean anything. Itās been marvelous! Tomorrow will be back to business with family photo session editing, brand jobs and getting my ballet school ready for next months shows. But today, today, I did nothing. š¤£ #mondaymood
SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This oneās a MUST TRY! I love pumpkin, I love puff pastry and I love me some cheese!
ā¢one package store bought puff pastry
ā¢mini brie
ā¢pumpkin butter
ā¢egg for egg wash
ā¢cooking twine
ā¢cinnamon sticks
Preheat oven to 375. These will bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cut #puffpastry into 10 equal squares, scoop a teaspoon of pumpkin butter on the puff pastry and add a mini brie on top. Close up the dough and use cooking twine to secure it. I tie it around 3-4 times. Brush egg wash over them and bake them for 20-25 min. Use cinnamon sticks for a stem! I have also used cream cheese and goat cheese instead of the Brie! Enjoy! #holidayappetizers #recipereel

Added #Maui to the wallā¦ā¦ canāt wait to add to the collection next trip šš»š¤£
Had to share another landscape photo from our #maui trip. But I meanā¦..can you blame me?!? Love, love, LOVED our time spent there. #mauihawaii
SWIPE LEFT FOR A LAUGH I thought this deserved a permanent spot on my feed as proof I got @theeneil to do a couples massage while in #Maui complete with an outdoor soaking tub, shower and outdoor Hale for our massage. We went straight from Hawaii to Disneyland and when we got home from our 2 days at Disney and felt like we were 80, Neil asked if we could go get another couples massage. š¤£
Counting down until our next #Hawaii vacation. Last year was our first time visiting (we took the family to Oahu) and we loved it so much, @theeneil and I took a trip by ourselves to #Maui š Both islands have a completely different vibe but one thingās for sure, they are both so beautiful. I took this photo of #blacksandbeach at WaiŹ»Änapanapa State Park. We rented a bronco and drove the entire island. It was such a wonderful trip and weāre already trying to make plans for another vacay (still debating on whether to bring the kids or not š¤£).
We flew home last night, spent the night in our own bed and now we are currently driving to Disney with the kids. Iām going to need another vacation after this vacation. š Really loved our time in #Maui Already planning our next tripā¦ š¤£
@theeneil says he took a @graymalin photo š¤£ā¦ howād he do Gray? So many pretty things to take pictures of hereā¦. #maui
