Last week was a blur. Luckily my mom was here, otherwise we might not have made it (or I might not have made it.) I had to make the decision to put my 11 year old pup down very unexpectedly and it hit me hard. He was my first baby and had been with me since I graduated college. Needless to say, I was a little distracted and emotionally drained last week with losing my best friend, plus Parks is a little wild man these days and goes non-stop unless he is asleep which left me little time to spend in the kitchen! Let me tell you, when life hits hard, having a recipe like my healthy chocolate chip pecan muffins can make or break whether or not I start my day off right.
Happy day after Labor Day guys! How was your weekend? I hope you did the opposite of labor and got to relax with your family and friends! Canean was out of town for a couple of days and I started binge watching Friday Night Lights on Netflix, which I had no idea was going to suck me in like it did! I also had a fabulous brunch Sunday morning with a girlfriend before picking the hubs up from the airport! Yesterday, we lounged around, walked the dogs, and ate big juicy cheeseburgers for dinner! Needless to say, we are both in need of some healthy for the rest of the week! I love having snacks like my homemade nutty granola bars on hand for weeks just like these!
They are sweet and salty, but completely good for you!
