Covered in glitter and crumbs. Waking up to maracas and fairy wings. Pockets full of rubber bands and dandelions. Buried under book piles. Dirty hands with homemade kombucha. Coffee in the rain. Waiting for that sacred scrap of silence.

Snacks
Ok I have to admit that I have a huge sweet tooth. Always have. So when I saw these recipies for healthy snacks, using all natural sweeters, I was skeptical. Even when I was vegan, I never really explored the world of brown rice syrup. But, the chef behind the recipes is also the author of a cookbook we like. And a friend of mine has been on a natural sweetner kick after watching this video about the toxicity of sugar. (Confession: I have not watched the video. I still want to live in denial a little bit. Is that so wrong?)
Anyway, I decided to try it. These treats that is. And, they are very tasty. The top photo shows peanut butter cranberry bars and the bottom photo shows coconut date bon-bons. Those are especially delicious. In fact, they are already gone.
I may not be ready to give up ice cream yet, but I am glad to find some healthier desserty snacks.
