    Obviously my eyes lit up when I saw the date bars - the least healthy of the bunch I'm guessing? Hope your honeymoon is wonderful! Miss you xo

    I MUST make the banana coconut cookies for my dad this month! Banana and coconut are his two favorite things and these would be the perfect "thank you for spending so much money on my wedding" treat :)

    I love these ideas! I always like to grind up the oats in cookie recipes and I'm definitely going to give the Chocolate Chip Cookie variety a try!
