Fall is here, and Halloween is right around the corner! I love Halloween, and Thanksgiving...especially Thanksgiving. Enjoying the pumpkin madness has been a little bit difficult for me, mostly because of my relocation to South Florida from Pennsylvania. It's hard to feel that Autumn joy in a tank top and flip flops. But, I live near the beach so I can't really complain!
Since beginning my healthy lifestyle I really like to keep healthy snacks in the house, especially for when my sweet tooth hits! These have been a wonder, for soothing the sweet tooth and for giving me a little taste of Fall! I hope you like them as much as I do!
