Raw Cookie Dough Energy Balls

There is a reason why Cookie Dough is, and always will be, one of the most popular ice cream flavours; and it's for this very same reason that I avoid baking cookies with my sister. 

Simply put - people love cookie dough (arguably more than cookies themselves) and will do anything to get at it. Whether it's devouring a whole tub of ice cream just because you can't stop digging for that extra nugget of dough beneath your spoon, or setting out to make a dozen cookies but somehow only ending up with 6. The dough is the best part. 
So why not skip all this silliness and make some dough just fo eatin'. 

Baked Sweet Potato Falafel

For the longest time falafel has been one of my most favourite foods. One of the best quick meals or work lunches for me is a falafel wrap with salad and hummus (and lots of pickles), whatever time of day it is.

One of my very first recipes on here was a simple falafel recipe (find it here) but I've since adapted it to include one of my other favourites foods - sweet potato. This changes the flavour and texture of the falafel, as well as adding in a whole load of extra nutrients and goodness for ya. Sweet potatoes are a rich source of anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that are essential for optimal health, as well as tasting darn good.
