I’m not sure why dates remind me of the holidays. Is it because they come from palm trees, which are prevalent in the Middle East, where some major holidays originated?
Turns out, my mother was apparently fond of them. I found these three recipes for dates in My Mother’s Recipe Box: Date Nut Bread, Date Loaf (which is actually candy), and Date Pudding. They look like yummy choices for holiday sweets this December!
My Mom loved dates also and I have a recipe from her for cookies that includes rice krispies, dates and coconut! Healthy? Yummy!
And there is something to be said on having recipes in a loved ones handwriting. So special.
That sounds yummy, Betty Jo! Thanks for your comment!
We are having a tapas them for our holiday and we will have dates wrapped with bacon. Dates stuffed with cheese is great too
Great suggestions, Patrick. A friend of mine also mentioned the idea of dates stuffed with cheese. That sounds delicious! Thanks for your comment!
