Usually if you’ve seen one snowman, you’ve seen them all, or so I thought until I saw this snowman. Hope he makes you smile too!

These will be a favorite of everyone in your house. Healthy energy bars and no no baking!
1 cup oatmeal (dry)
1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter such as almond)
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup ground flaxseed (or buy whole and use a coffee bean grinder)
1/4 to 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or use raisins, almonds or pecans instead
1 tsp vanilla
Optional: Add protein powder, goji berries, use light peanut butter, use dark chocolate
Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy! Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. You can also spread mixture in a large cookie bar pan and cut into squares instead of rolling into balls.
Tip: Wet your hands when making into balls and you will avoid any sticky mess if you run your hands through water every few balls or put your hands in plastic bags to roll.
Makes 24 balls: 110 calories, 13 carbs, 6 grams of fat, and 2 grams of protein. Adapted from Smashed Peas and Carrots

On this day in February, I find myself daydreaming of spring. While I live in Southern California, and yes, it was 80 degrees on Sunday for the Super Bowl, it is still a day in February, not a glorious carefree day in May.

For special occasions, or for a party, surprise guests with wild flower ice cubes. You can freeze edible flowers or fruit such as raspberries or mint into your ice cubes for water glasses. How pretty would these be floating in champagne or wine? (Make sure the flowers you use are edible.) Here’s the how-to.
These cookies are healthy, no bake made with almond flour, coconut and lemon as the main ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients and then warm in your oven set at it’s lowest heat with the door cracked open for about an hour or so. Your cookies will be dry on the outside and melt-in-your mouth moist on the inside. Or, place the cookies in your refrigerator after they’ve cooled down and let them chill and set before you eat them. Go to Addicted to Veggies for the recipe.
Food always tastes better when it’s pretty. How simple is this yogurt, granola and fruit layered into a pretty glass instead of my usual “throw in the bowl” technique?
