The pending birth of a new baby is something that is really
worth the wait. It’s the last time the
unborn child you have created will be so close to you and literally a part of
you. (And subsequently the last time you
have your hands free for a while!) I
have 2 friends who are awaiting that special moment of meeting their babies in
a few weeks. One is a close neighbour
and today we had the privilege of placing our hands on her beautiful belly and
sharing the bond. Summer kept going back
for more while Finn had no idea what all the fuss was about. For me it was special, a moment in time that
will soon change forever, precious...

| Apricot and Coconut Balls |
I needed a quick and healthy afternoon tea treat for the
kids, something the kids could help
with. We’ve made plenty of versions of
data coconut balls so decided to go with apricots. Simply delicious but a word of warning, if
the kids help you roll them, don’t expect there to be many left for the plate!
Apricot Coconut Balls
1 tbls chia seeds
1 mc (1/2 cup orange juice)100g almonds
200g sulphur free dried apricots
50g oats
50g dried coconut
- Place chia seeds and orange juice in mc or cup, combine then set aside
- Place almonds in Thermomix bowl and grind for 10 seconds on speed 9
- Add apricots and chop for a further 5 seconds on speed 9
- Add oats, coconut, chia seeds and orange juice and mix for a final 10 seconds on speed 6 or until well combined
- Roll into balls and toss in coconut and pop on a pretty plate
