Sooooo I’ve kinda been dreaming about how good my tasting-plate was from the other day. Does this qualify as a “You Know You’re a Health Foodie” moment?…I think so. I can’t help it. I just had to do something with that pumpkin/almond butter combo again! My solution? Well the first thing that came to mind was whole grain pumpkin almond bars [Video + Recipe].

Fluffy eggs, melted cheese and cherrywood smoked bacon stacked between two maple syrupy waffles!? Yes please! I was intrigued, but not impressed by the 23 grams of fat (8 of them saturated!), 1000 mg of sodium, added sugars and barely-there fiber content. So I decided to create my own–which ultimately made my stomach (..and wallet!) very happy.
