    Here’s another old recipe that I thought I’d share again since it’s one of the items on my Fall Food Bucket List. I have had a craving for apples and oatmeal lately. I decided to make these Apple Walnut Oatmeal Muffins. These turned out so good and I think they’re my second favorite muffins! Aren’t apples one of the must have, must make fall fruits? I’ll never forget when Rob and I were in Rochester, NY several years ago. It was the end of August, but it was definitely feeling like Fall up in New York. Leaves were just starting…

    Influenster recently sent me a complimentary box that included GoodnessKnows Snack Squares.

I got to try the apple variety, which contains 4 square bites of dried apples, crisp rice, toasted oats, and almonds with a dark chocolate coating on the bottom. While I’m not a huge fan of dark chocolate, I found this dark chocolate on these squares to very tasty and not too overbearing or sweet; a great way to get in a little bit of that healthier dark…
