“You’re a baller, Mom.” That’s what J.P. told me as a high compliment.
For those who aren’t familiar with the term baller, my Little Leaguer defined it as, “You’re good at that.” Ian, my teen, elaborated that the term started in basketball then moved into other sports to mean, you are excellent and you play with style.
Being a baller in the throes of baseball season, enter 11 No-bake Energy Bites. We call them Energy Balls, of course. They are quick to make, nutrient dense, great for travel, and flexible enough to meet different dietary and taste preferences. For our first batch, we made these from eat. drink. love.

What new foods are you enjoying? What are your favorite spring foods? Do you make no-bake treats? Are you a baller?
Have a terrific weekend ~~~~~~~~ Angie Mc
‘baller’ sounded a bit ‘strange’ at first till you explained..
now it makes perfect sense.

I must check out the recipes. You’ve made my life so much easier with your fab food ideas. Of course I love your family stories and inspirational tid bits that make my heart sing – but I rarely enjoy my time in the kitchen. Anything I can make in advance and that travels well + is full of nutrition and not junk is exactly what I’m looking for. I also love tofu and am eager to take a look at the baked tofu. I know you’ll probably find me terribly boring but happy foods and spring equate to more fresh fruit and vegetables and normally in their naked format.

Naked is good, lol! No fuss, no muss is what I strive for *especially* during the spring. And, yes, I’m sure that you can find a great energy ball treat that’s perfect for your needs and tastebuds. The options are endless! PS, Sheri, you are never boring ❤

I checked into the recipe details…these look great. All but # 11…spirulina, maca and hemp ?? That one scares me a little. ☺ Thanks, Angie

LOL! Oh, Van, you just inspired another new spring food post that will include all three! While these ingredients are a bit scary at first, I’m learning how to use and enjoy them 😀 OK, enjoying spirulina may be a reach 😉
