It’s been what? A few months since I’ve posted? Something like that. I can’t believe it’s been that long. Time really got away from me. I’m happy to be back. I’m really challenging myself to start posting again and re-inspire myself.
It has been so long since I’ve been inspired to post anything. I know there were a lot of factors, but basically life just got in the way. I spent a lot of time focusing on school, life shifts, and planning for the future. I put the blog and social media lower and lower on my to-do list. I’m finally getting to it.
Obviously a lot has happened since the last time I posted. I’ll start by updating you on my photography. I created my first ever photography series. It’s up on my photography Instagram (@ellasmithphotography) and will be up on my website www.ellasmithphotography.com very soon!
I must have created this recipe two summer’s ago. There are a few recipes I just never got around to posting. This is a really special one. I actually think of all the recipes I’ve ever created, this one I was most proud of.
These bars are
Soft & chewy
Surprisingly healthy
& So bomb!
Since I’ve been having technical difficulties with my recipe plugin, I will temporarily be typing the recipes into posts.
