The ugly:
Worrying too much – Sometimes, I catch myself in the middle of savasana pondering whether a recipe photo looks good enough for the next day’s post.Stuffing my refrigerator with food – For as long as I can remember, Mama Lin packed every inch of her refrigerator with food, and I have picked up that habit. I always hear people complaining about running out of food in the house, but that is NEVER a problem with me.Shoving food in front of my guests – It is an affront to Mama Lin if you set foot under her roof and refuse to eat anything. She insists on having it her way, and she is persistent. (Of course, she does all of this in the cheerful, Mama Lin kind of way.) Now, I feel the same impulse to offer all my food for anyone who visits me even when they’re not hungry.
The good awesome:
Finding joy in cooking and kitchen experiments.Packing a buffet of snacks before a flight or a long car ride.
My snack pack always includes nuts, dried fruit (usually mangoes), snack bars, and an apple for good measure. No matter if my trip is 2 hours long or 12 hours long, the snack pack stays the same. These chocolate coconut snack bars are making it to my next trip. I’ve made many batches of these snack bars already, and they’ve inched their way to the top of my list of homemade nibbles. These snack bars are:
Chewy: the brown rice syrup and peanut butter binds the ingredients together but doesn’t harden into a brick.Crunchy: the Kashi GOLEAN cereal doesn’t buckle under the pressure of the wet ingredients and retains much of its crunch.Nutty: all snack bars should contain healthy fats.Chocolate-y: this is a given with any treat I make, really.
If you’re down for chewy granola bars like I am, give these bars a try! Looking for more snack ideas? Carrot Cake Snack Bites
