CranWal Tahini Carob Protein Bites

     Hello WORLD! :) I have a wonderful snack-a-roo for you this very wonderful evening.. :) So sometimes in order to keep on my diet(MANY food intolerances..).. I ALWAYS keep protein bars on hand.. (FAVORITE BRAND.. RISE BARS.. SUNFLOWER CINNAMON VEGAN PROTEIN BAR!).. anyway.. that was getting a little expensive as I was going out and about A LOT. For some reason there was a couple weeks there where I was just going about all the time.. So to save a bit of money I decided that maybe making some of my own bars.. would be the best way to go.. So I took a gander in the fridge and I wasn't planning on making anything scrumptious.. I had just come to the conclusion that I needed something filling that I could stuff in my mouth so as not to eat whatever delicacies lay before me.. wherever it was I was going..
     At any rate.. I was also trying to follow as close as I could this EAT RIGHT FOR YOR BLOOD TYPE business.. and so I didn't want to use peanut butter as I am type O. So.. I took a look in the fridge and I saw that I had some tahini that I had for quite a while and needed to be used.. I was trying to decide what would go well with tahini and I wasn't certain as I hadn't really used it much before.. So I figured chocolate would cover the taste pretty well.. but then it struck.. CAROB!! Carob is delicious and good for my blood type!! YES!!
So I decided to start throwing different things into a bowl.. And this.. is what came to be..

(they don't look like much.. but they are delicious!)

Strawberry Cantaloupe Basil Salad

This is a great summer salad!! Probably one of my favs right now.. I have been making so much of it and eating it.. its ridiculous!! :) This time of year there are always plenty of luscious strawberries to eat and cantaloupes are usually pretty easy to get ahold of as well. :) Oh and basil just compliments everything in this dish perfectly! its making my mouth water.. :)  Mmmm.. Anyway.. Enough talk.. Lets get to the recipe!! :)
