sick kids and finding snacks...

Hi everyone,

well I know I have sort of dropped off the map of late...by a sick lil miss 3 year old does that.

She is sick but still wants to run jump dance and play, rest my kids don't understand the word.

Anyway,

I have found a treat that I just have to share...

Paleo Granola Bars.

My walking buddies and me visited his parents on our 12km walk (up and down steep hills, I swear he was out to hurt me lol ). His mum made Paleo bars and Oh My God!!!!

We could stop eating them so warning these are great of a sweet tooth or a snack but you might want to eat more then you should.

Here's the recipe with picture, thanks to Crossfit Kawatha!
