Sweet and Salty Energy Bars — these crunchy, gluten-free cereal bars are the perfect balanced snack or a quick, make-ahead breakfast. This post has been sponsored by Safeway.

On Friday, my in-laws and I scooped up the bug and took her to the beach (where the water was still characteristically ice-cold despite the 90-degree temps), and suddenly this little girl emerged before my eyes, all legs and sandy … Read More
