Larabars (with dots over the first a) are my new sweet treat. They come in great flavors like Apple Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, Cashew Bar and more. They are made with dates and almonds or other nuts so they are healthier but don't taste like gravel mixed with peanut butter, thank you! Pop one in the purse or work bag and you are good to go for a snack. The nut-date combination and fiber control the blood sugar spike you normally get with a candy bar or one with only sugar or carbohydrate. Try one and let me know what you think! Try one or try them all and let me know your favorite flavor. You can find them at a health food store near you. Sweet (but healthy) snacking in moderation! Dates, included in these bars, were a favorite sweet snack back in Jesus' day. Larabars would probably be his bar of choice were he walking among us today!

Need a little pick me up after your trip? Do you love hanging out in the kitchen, snacking, chatting about various topics and generally enjoying people's company? Well, pull up a stool and have a seat. We have so much catching up to do! First on the menu: what is your favorite food and the perfect beverage to go with it? I think I can whip something up... My latest find?  Agave syrups in irish cream, hazelnut, vanilla and cappuccino flavors! They aren't as sweet as the flavored syrups and are healthier! Put some in your favorite warm drink and pair it with some Miss Meringue cookies.
