They are also nice with a cup of tea at night while snuggling on the couch in total hibernation mode. The bars aren’t super sweet, which is why I decided they were better described as a “snack bar” rather than a dessert bar. Over 5 tablespoons of iron-packed blackstrap molasses make these bars ultra-dense and gingerbread-like while providing a healthy dose of iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and more. In addition to the hefty amount of pumpkin these bars pack in, there’s also a good amount of iron and other minerals. Who can argue with vegetables over the holidays?
Yes, that’s a whole cup of vegetables in a holiday snack bar recipe. Even if many of you are sick of pumpkin by now, you might be happy to know that the pumpkin flavour is barely detectable in these bars, despite having a whole cup of pumpkin puree in the recipe. Probably, but I never really had a solid run with pumpkin this year. Speaking of running 2 months behind, I have a pumpkin recipe for you today! Is it too late? I’ll try to take a couple pictures of the tree (that is, before Sketchie knocks down all the bulbs and covers the branches with tiny wisps of tinsel-like fur). I guess we better make this tree thing happen before the snow arrives tomorrow. Who needs photography space anyway? I’d rather be a Griswold. I’m going to pick the biggest one I can find, just to prove a point. Me – Oh no you didn’t! I AM NOT A SCROOGE! Me – Is it too late to get a tree? Should we even bother this year? Įric – Ange. Our convo went a little something like this: Now we’re at that awkward point in December when we I ask if we even bother to put up a tree this year. The good news is we do have 15 nutcrackers to stare us down while watching TV. Or should I say, someone went to pick it up (along with our decorations), but the tree stand wasn’t in the box when that someone got home. The main reason we don’t have a tree is because our tree stand is stored at my brother-in-laws (along with other boxes of junk until we move into a house…bless you, Dave), and we haven’t picked it up. If you read the advent calendar post you’ll notice I said these words: “ a fun advent calendar that can be reused for many years to come…Maybe some day a child of our own will be using this each year.”Īnyway, back to the tree. Where is that girl? I have no idea where that thing is either….Eric probably got rid of it. Side note: I still can’t believe I made an advent calendar from scratch last year. So, here we are mid-December and there is no tree up yet. I’ve still been so busy with book work, despite prematurely thinking that it was finished (hint: it never ends). The holidays only serve to enhance this feeling. It really doesn’t surprise me because I’ve been about 2 months behind throughout the course of 2013. Normally, we have our Christmas tree up by December 1st, but this year we totally dropped the bulb.
