Key Lime Pie Bars
My craving for citrus-y fruits have been through the roof lately for no apparent reason. If I can make a nutritious snack that feeds the craving though, I go for it. Key lime pie has been on my mind lately but I don’t want all the extra sugar. Plus, with school being right around the corner I am spending some much-needed time in the kitchen prepping for snacks and yummies that I can make quickly throughout the week. The result? Key Lime Pie Bars. Deeeee-licious! Also…five ingredients? Easy as pie! (Except pie isn’t quite this easy). 😉 
 Ingredients:Â
- 1 cup unsalted cashews
- 1 cup almonds
- 16 dates (cut in half or more)
- Juice of 3 limes
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
What to do:Â
Pour the almonds and cashews into the food processor and pulse a few times until they are semi-chopped. Add all the remaining ingredients into the food processor. Pulse a few times and then on low or until it starts forming together into a sticky mixture. Line an 8 x 8 pan (or really any pan) with wax paper. I used a spatula to flatten the mixture into an even consistency in the pan. Smooth out the top and edges. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Cut to desired width. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator or counter.
On Wednesday, I treated my sister to a Spa Day! We went to one of my favorite places and relaxed the day away! 🙂

One of my very, very, very favorite parts of the summer (other than the heat and pool) is the slow mornings. I love waking up and slowly sipping my coffee in an 
Wunderlist is definitely one of my most helpful apps. 
This app is another source of inspiration as part of my devotions. I like to switch things up and some days this is perfect. 🙂
This last app is just flat-out fun! Marco Polo is a video walkie-talkie. I keep in touch with a handful of college friends that live out-of-state or that I don’t get to see often.
I picked 
book up in 
this book. I admire Axe’s philosophy on eating and medicine and most likely will be purchasing 
I read 
on the plane in just two days because I couldn’t put it down…and we we’re on a plane so I didn’t exactly have a lot of other options. 😉 I was definitely crying by the end and probably looked completely ridiculous doing but it was just so good. 🙂
book was really inspirational as it goes back to the basis of being a beginner teacher. As summer comes to a closer sooner than later, it what a nice refresher and a great perspective.
