Bacon Wrapped Dates Recipe
This recipe is great for an hors d’oeuvre, a side plate item or just a quick snack. I originally tried these in a Spanish tapas restaurant and liked them so much I decided to try my hand at making them. The recipe is very simple and requires little.
You will need:
bacon (thinly sliced)
dates (buy them already pitted if possible)
almond slivers (optional)
toothpicks
To Make:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
If you are using almonds, stuff one or two slivers into each date.
Cut the bacon strips down the middle. They should be about 4-5 inches long after.
Wrap the bacon around the date and place a toothpick to hold in place.
On a foil lined baking sheet, place the bacon wrapped dates evenly spaced.
Cook for approximately 15 minutes, then turn each date and cook again until evenly cooked.
These dates are best served at room temperature or cold. Serving them hot could cause burns because of the juice inside

Ground Turkey and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 6 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and gills removed (gently scrape it out with a spoon)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 pound ground turkey
- Handful of baby spinach leaves
- 6-8 grape tomatoes, sliced (and roasted if you prefer)
- Salt and pepper, to taste (Italian seasoning would be great too!)
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt about 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Place the mushrooms into the skillet and let cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Flip them halfway through. Set aside on a plate.
-
In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Then add the ground turkey to the pan and break it up into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until it’s all cooked through. Sprinkle salt and pepper and other seasonings, if using.
-
Remove from heat and add the baby spinach leaves. The residual heat should wilt the spinach easily.
-
To assemble: use a small spoon and scoop the turkey spinach filling into the caps of the mushrooms. Top with grape tomatoes. Serve warm!
