It’s strawberry season! Can you tell I’m excited? I think I look forward to this time of year beginning in January, when we are in the depths of bitter cold and knee deep in snow.

Nutty Chocolate Chip Energy Bars

These homemade nutty chocolate chip energy bars replicate the Lara Bar recipe, with some ingredient differences. To be honest, I hadn’t tried an actual Lara Bar before attempting my own and I definitely prefer this homemade recipe to the actual “real” thing.

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things.
