the Last Stop TRAIL BAR ’ve been working on the perfect trail bar on and off for years, one that has a no nut and no nut-butter option. No gluten, no refined sugar, just the right crunch and chew, and no banana (personal preference). Friends… HERE IT IS! If you have a scale, use it and follow the weight measurements.

MAKES

DIRECTIONS STEP ONE

Preheat oven to 325˚F, line a cookie sheet with parchment. Also line a square brownie pan (8x8 or 9x9) with parchment, overhanging on all sides.

STEP TWO

Place the oats and almonds on the cookie sheet. Place them in the oven for 5 minutes, remove and add the sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds to the tray (don’t mix them, keep them separate) and cook for another 10 minutes (so that the oats and almonds have a total of 15 minutes).

STEP THREE

Let them cool a bit, then put them in the food processor with the dates and cranberries, pulse them a few times so that everything gets chopped a little, remove to a large bowl. Add the remainder of the Dry Nut and Seed Mixture ingredients to the bowl, mix well.

STEP FOUR

In a small pot, melt together on med-low the wet ingredients, whisking to make it smooth, about 4-5 minutes, it does not need to boil.

STEP FIVE

Pour the hot tahini mixture over the nut and seed mixture and using gloved hands and a spatula, mix the hot tahini mixture into the nut and seed mixture until it is uniform. Pour the mixture into prepared brownie pan and press it firmly into the pan. Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. Lift the parchment/bars out of the pan and cut into 25-30 squares or bars.

INGREDIENTS DRY NUT & SEED MIXTURE

• • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 1/2 cup / 170 grams gluten free large flake oats 1/2 cup / 85 grams raw almonds 2 tbsp / 30 grams raw sunflower seeds 2 tbsp / 25 grams raw pumpkin seeds 2 tbsp / 25 grams raw sesame seeds 1/4 cup / 40 grams dried, sugar free, cranberries 4 medjool dates, pitted 3 tbsp / 25 grams coconut flakes 2 tbsp / 20 grams chia seeds 2 tbsp /25 grams hemp hearts 2 tbsp / 20 grams whole (or ground) flax seed 1 tbsp / 10 grams poppy seeds 1 1/2 cups / 35 grams puffed quinoa 1/4 tsp flaked sea salt (I use maldon salt)

WET MIXTURE

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp / 175 grams tahini • 1/2 cup / 165 grams raw honey • 2 tbsp / 25-30 grams coconut oil NUT + SEED OPTION: You can omit the almonds for a nut-free option, just replace with the same volume of something else. Same with any of the other ingredients you don’t have or like, just replace with the same volume.

STEP SIX

Store in the fridge or freezer.

HANDSFREE HOME

Remember the days when you struggled at your front door, juggling bags of groceries and your keys? Homes have now become smarter, more energy efficient and even intuitive, making hands-free a reality.

Automatic environment monitoring, access to lights and appliances from anywhere in the world and voice-controlled gadgets are just some of the ways home life is evolving. Our homes are an extension of our lifestyles, with increased capabilities to seamlessly connect 24/7 at the touch of a wireless American Standard Avery Selectronic® Touchless Kitchen Faucet

Amazon Echo

CLEAN-UP TIME. button. Here are a few examples of smart home advancements bringing us one step closer to a connected and hands-free space: In the kitchen. Technology has brought hands-free faucets, helping families avoid unnecessary accidents, making cleaning easier and reducing the spread of germs and messes. Companies such as Canaroma are also finding ways to integrate this new touchless technology into stunning design, making it beautiful to look at.

CALL HOME. Long gone are the days where you physically dial a phone. For example, new home systems now offer the ability to call mom simply by saying “call mom.” Products such as Amazon's Echo and Alexa and Google Home are making connecting hands-free simple. Using VoIP - voice over internet protocol - you can now call your contacts and you don't even have to wait for them to get the technology or a Google account to answer.

You're not alone when it comes to despising cleaning.

Fortunately, hands-free options can provide a tidy home without lifting a finger. From air purifiers that automatically scan your environment for airborne allergens and pollutants, to high-tech robotic vacuums that trap dust and dirt and spontaneously move away from objects in their path, coming home after a long workday to a spick-and-span environment can be your reality.

We're moving towards to a truly intuitive lifestyle. Companies such as TA Appliances, Teletime and Appliance Canada are taking us one step closer to a hands-free world. The next generation of smart home products will continue to expand our ability to connect to contacts, appliances and other smart-home devices anywhere in the world and on vocal demand.

Find out how you can integrate technology into the design of your space and live hands-free at the National Home Show, presented by RE/MAX on March 9-18th at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place. Find more information at www.nationalhomeshow.com. THN www.newscanada.com
