No Bake Healthy Energy Bites – Friday Tryday!

OK ya’all, its Friday Tryday, and you know what that means!!!

Every Friday, we’ll give you a cool homemade project or recipe, or make-do something that you can try out over the weekend, then, maybe if you aren’t too busy oogling over all the great work you did, you can come back and share your results…

You’ll want to make double of this weeks project, because around our house they go really quick. It’s also a great recipe for the kids to help with because there is NO HOT OVENS OR STOVES involved…

No Bake Energy Bites from Gimme Some Oven

These were literally gone in less than a day in our house, and our kids loved them. I could see these replacing homemade granola bars really quickly.

It also seems like a good “base” recipe to add whatever other flavors or secret energy sources you have.

So, give them a try… have a great weekend!!!

Healthy, Homemade Fruit Snacks!!!

This weeks tryday feature comes from the awesome people over at Thank Your Body. They know how to make a great fruit snack.

One word of WARNING: Don’t use anything with a lot of seeds, or strain the seeds. These are just like fruit snacks, and if you get those pesky seeds in there, they aren’t as fun.

So, give these a try this weekend… Here’s the recipe: Homemade healthy fruit snacks
