Date eaters?

Jennery, was it you who found the research that eating dates four weeks before the due date might help speed up delivery?

Well, I've been trying for the past week or so and - bleh! Dates are gross. I've tried raw and filled with cheese, wrapped in nice proscuitto and baked and they still are the worst part of my day.

Anyone else trying this little trick and found a way to make them more appetizing?

I assumed dried dates were ok? Maybe not? They are so darn sugary, I can only handle about 2 of them plain, but I rough chopped a few & sprinkled them in a salad for lunch on Saturday, and chopped some to put in oatmeal for breakfast

I get them from my local co-op and just take the pit out of them and eat. Sometimes I replace the pit with a pecan. Yum.

haha, I thought this post was going to be about whether people ate less food when they were out on dates. Which I was going to laugh about, because I will eat more in front of my husband than anyone else. Although now days, I can't fit too much in my s

I must be a weirdo too, I love dates! They were always a Christmas time thing at my house, my mom rolled them in sugar talk about sweet!. And DH's grandma's holiday speciality was date filled cookies. I had a leftover tub of dried medjool dates from Co
