Whenever I smell ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves it always reminds me of winter. Therefore I thought I would add these delicious spices to a date ball. It has now been proven that spices are a great way to help the body with inflammation. These beauties are natures medicine and they can actively help to fight against heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Plus they can help fight against seasonal illnesses such as colds and flu.
Spices also have immune boosting qualities. During the winter weather spices can help repair any damage caused by the cooler months. In recent years I have been adding plenty of spices to our meals especially at this time of year. I'm not saying that we have not caught a cold or even flu in the past years but I would like to think we have far less. Nowadays I try to include spices in lots of my recipes including these date balls. They were delicious and one I may have to include in my diet all year round.

Christmas Spiced Chocolate Date Balls
Chocolate Christmas Spiced Date Balls were a huge hit with me. When I made these the other day I hid them in the fridge so I could enjoy them for myself. Shh, don't tell my husband or son!!! I had to make sure they were ok first. Trust me, they you won't want to give your ones away. If you do decide to gift them then they do make a delicious gift for a family member or friend. Hee, hee! However you decide to eat this treat or whoever you give it to, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx

Prosecution says I "deadied" Mom and Dad's blanket and was "ugly" to my sister Xena and "attacked" my sister Lucy when I came out of my kennel this morning. The jury of my peers - which also consisted of my victims, umm, I mean accusers - found me guilty of all charges.
Mom said don't do the crime if you can't serve the time. I sure hope I get out in time for supper.
