I've been really rushed today. My daughter is taking two dance camps with a short break in between so she can eat a quick lunch. I didn't have enough time this morning to make a lunch before I dropped her off and I failed to make it last night. So I made the lunch and brought it up to the studio just before the first camp ended. I had put some nuts and dried fruit in a bag for me to eat and left it sitting on the counter. Even though we live just around the corner from the studio, there wouldn't have been time to turn around and go back to get it. And I needed to eat something because I realized all I had were a few (and I mean a few) pumpkin seeds for breakfast. I almost left the house without eating those because I just wasn't hungry this morning!

Luckily there is a health food store next door to the dance studio. I intended to go get a bag of walnuts since and eat some of those. I did buy the walnuts but I also bought a "Go Raw", Live Pumpkin Bar. Wasn't sure how I would like it. I bought some kind of bar prior,(not sure if it was that brand or not) and wasn't thrilled with it. It was edible, but rather flavorless. The other bar that is. This pumpkin seed bar was really yummy! A little bit chewy and sweet. The ingredients are Sprouted Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Sprouted Organic Flax Seeds, Organic Date, Raw Organic Agave Nectar and Celtic Sea Salt (Unrefined).

Now if only I could figure out how to make such a thing myself! So far my attempts at dehydrating have been rather pitiful.

Wouldn't it be cool to make our own bars? I failed miserably at the "chicken" fingers LOL... I imagine that you have to use quite a bit of the agave in it to make it that sticky and sweet after you dehydrate.

My attempts at dehydrating have been so bad I haven't felt like trying anything else just yet. Maybe one day I will.
