Apricot-Almond Breakfast Bars
My love of apricots is no secret. Nor is it a surprise (at least for those who know me) that at 47, I still don’t consider myself a morning person. Not at all, but I’ve accepted it. With kids, this can be challenging. This is a recipe for apricot-almond breakfast bars that I created for […]
Cowboy “Cookie” Power Bites
I’ve always had a fascination with cowboys. But being raised a city kid, I’m not exactly sure why or how. I’ve never actually met a real cowboy; only the want-to-be’s.

My previous blog about Protein Power Bites was so popular, that I felt a follow-up was due, […]
Protein Power Bites
Power bars, protein snacks, and energy drinks are all some of the products you see on store shelves selling “power” and “energy.” Don’t be deceived: most don’t have either; many are not healthy; and most of us avoid equating sugar with energy.
