Hey guys! It’s finally Monday afternoon (woohoo!) It’s such a gorgeous day here today; you would never have guessed that it was cold and snowy last night and this morning! In fact, I’m so happy with the weather today that I decided to do one of several giveaways I have planned for y’all 🙂
Lunch was a black bean burger on a sandwich thin with provolone, a pile of carrots, and a Breakstone’s Cottage Double:
And I know it’s probably better for me to just do regular cottage cheese and homemade jam, but you gotta love the convenience of it together!
Tres yummy. I took a walk down to Target (maybe 3/4 of a mile from the office?) and took it slow, and guess what?! No knee pain! I’m hoping taking the weekend off was a good thing and maybe it’s gone forever 🙂 I celebrated with the rest of my Green(ish) Monster from this morning that I froze:
It was just so-so. I definitely prefer mine freshly blended, but I still felt good about eating this as a snack! And see? I’m ending my work day the way it started!
So, on to the fun part 🙂 About a week or so ago, the lovely Taylor from the Wholesome Foods Bakery contacted me asking if I’d like to try out some of their FoodBars and Crunch. I said of course, and she also offered to send a second sampler as a giveaway prize AND is offering you guys a 15% discount code! Look at this crazy-amazing assortment of gluten-free and dairy-free bars:
Here they are, all layed out! I dove right into the Tropical Nut Bar, and WOW! The flavor was fantastic 🙂 Very light and crunchy with hints of coconut and tartness from the cranberries and apricots. Although I don’t require a gluten- or dairy-free lifestyle, I would eat these any day!
Below each bar I’ve listed the descriptions and ingredients from their site. You should also check out the “About Us” section to learn more about Anne and Taylor, who are the mother-daughter team behind Wholesome Foods Bakery!

It is hard to pick just one flavor. They all sound delicious! Plus you are so right on, the packaging is so cute! My 1st place pick to try would be the Apple Cinnamon.
I am a major peanut butter fan, but I think I’d pick the cranberry apricot-two of my favorite dried fruits!
They all look fantastic!! But.. the peanut butter would definitely be the first one I’d try 🙂
