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.

Renewable Energy, Power Bites Part II

Post-holiday, an energy power bite may be just what we all need.  I read an article recently referring to trendy, nutrient-packed energy bars and bites referred to as “renewable energy.”  I like that: it’s catchy and on point.  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.  A good friend of mine from college, a marathon runner, a mom of […]
