    SONY DSCSONY DSCSONY DSCFeeling very excited over here...I have come up with a recipe that I love as much as my kids do and it can be eaten at breakfast or dessert and I don't feel bad about it!  

    If you are like our family, we have a serious love for "PEANUT BUTTER AND  jelly" (we like to sing it around here:) and sometimes it is a battle to get Sophie to want anything else for lunch.  So I have been working on a recipe that she will love just as much, but could be a healthy addition to her breakfast routine...and I did it! Yay!  Although, for this recipe I have removed the peanut butter and replaced it with almond butter for so many more wonderful benefits.  

    After teaming up with Nuts.com and learning all the  health benefits that go along with almonds (and they taste amazing as well), these bars got even better.

    The addition of almond butter, to replace peanut butter and almond flour, to replace all purpose flour,  you are treating yourself to a high protein and gluten free treat...and your kids will love it as well!!

    Check out Nuts.com for over 2,000 items that can be shipped straight to you.
