On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….. 13 (plus) Healthy Gluten Free No Bake Energy Bites (aka Healthy Bites) to end the year with Glee! Oh boy, I’m kidding!  That’s not really how the song goes, but maybe there should be,  yes?  Hmm.. either way, I hope you had a fab Christmas! I just wanted to pop in and share this “year in review” round up of no bake healthy bites. I3 of them!  Apparently I made an extra bonus energy bites in one month so 13 PLUS it is!

In all seriousness though, this year has been one BIG transition for us. Ever since we got back from New Zealand and my husband retired from triathlon, life has been a mess. A mess that we knew we had to go through. So much to sort through. Whether it be with my site (Cotter Crunch) and it’s main objective, which I have yet to figure out. Whether it be with our marriage and the new roles we are embracing… sherpa wife is definitely taking a new name. In fact, I think I just need to be embrace being supportive wife now (IN ALL AREAS).

Or whether it be in our future and my husband’s quest for a new career.. … an area we are still pondering about, working on, and praying about.

So you see, I feel like Healthy Bites recipes were the one consistent and organized thing this year. As corny as it sounds, these gluten free no bake energy bites (and sharing the recipes) give me a purpose. I started making them for my husband 7 years ago, then shipping them, then creating ebooks, and now sharing with locals. I hope to make something more with Healthy bites this next year, not just for readers, but for me as well. Healthy Bites are my unfinished business!

So cheers to 13 (and then some) gluten free no bake healthy bites that made our bellies and tastebuds happy in 2015.
