Date cake and a visit home

I had a really nice visit home this weekend, seeing my family and spending time in various wooded areas. Their town is still reeling from the freak snow storm last week, and just got power back as I was leaving. Inspired many grateful moments - for my family, talks by the fire, yummy food and wine, sleeping dogs, and beautiful electricity. Then I came home and made this date cake. It's similar to the bean brownies - flowerless, healthy, and delicious. These are my favorite types of desserts, and my favorites types of weekends.
