Kevin & I just returned from Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon. This golf resort blew us away with the Oregon coastline views, 6 rugged, wind-swept links styles golf courses, acres of untouched nature, baby deer and local Pinot Noir!
True links style courses are hard to find throughout the world, and Kevin was lucky enough to experience 4 of them in one day. Even with all the wonderful views and golf courses, being a foodie, what I cannot stop thinking about are the Protein Balls sold in the Old MacDonald pro shop.
Now that I am home, I am creating my own version so I can enjoy them every day! You can mix in any of your favorite flavors, such as coconut or mini chocolate chips, into this recipe and just increase the peanut butter and honey to achieve the correct dough texture.
