    Bars & Bites for Brown Bags

    Whether you pack your lunch in a bento box, a brown bag or a retro cartoon character lunch box, don’t forget the bars and bites. Small squares or round bites can pack nutrition into a sweet or savory taste. Show us your favorite way to jazz up any type of lunch box.

    So while the sun is still shining and I can actually drink fluids that aren't heated up in the microwave, I'll milk it for all it's worth.

    And what better way to think of warm weather and sunshine then of Key West. I had the pleasure of popping into this little gem of a place back in High School on a cruise, and it was hard to believe I was still actually in the states.

    What was my favorite part you ask? Like you reallllly have to ask me that. The food of course! And what else do you eat in The Keys other than Key Lime Pie!

    Key Lime Pie Energy Bites - A healthy snack recipe that tastes like key lime pie! No added sugar, flour, or oil. #paleo #vegan #glutenfree

    With just enough sweetness from the dates, and the pucker power of the lime, these are the perfect snack for when you want to pretend you are on an island far far away from back to school shopping and figuring out what bus your kid is supposed to take. Until I have that problem, I'll just enjoy these for simply being delicious.

        100?! Yikes! I am both happy and sad that I need a sweatshirt early in the morning. But I think coffee just tastes better when it's a little chilly out. 🙂

      Okay, these look so amazing. I want a whole batch, Never mind the "bites" business! Ha ha. Side note, this is Rum Point on Grand Cayman, no? My family was just there earlier this year, and it looks exactly like it. Though all the palm trees and sand can make any perfect island oasis look the same, Lol.

      First comes Fall. Then comes pumpkins. Then comes DEATH.”

      I'm CRACKING UP! I have a love-hate relationship with Fall for this very reason. These key lime bites definitely look like a great way to bring a little sunshine to a less than sunny day.

      These look great, Emily!! I LOVE the addition of macadamia nuts - one of my favorites! I really want to make these, but I need to be careful because I'm pretty sure I'll end up eating the entire batch! lol! Going to pin these for later though! Yum!! 🙂
