Craving Pumpkin Donuts in April

Yes it's April, springtime yes, but I've been having a serious craving for pumpkin donuts.  Of course,  no has any pumpkin donuts or coffee in the spring, so what's a pumpkin lover to do?? Whip up a batch of pumpkin cinnamon sugar mini donuts!
Tried the recipe from King Arthur's Blog and it was perfect.

Sunflower seed apricot protein bites


I finally tried to make my own protein /energy bites, bars, whatever.  So tired of running out of Kind bars, actually. ...tired of buying them even more. I started off with what I had in the house, so I wouldn't have the need to go to store excuse today lol.  I used:
Sunflower seed butter
Vanilla protein powder
Honey
Rolled oats
Apricots
Coconut 
 Sunflower seeds 
Mini chocolate chips 

This was sooo tasty, they are high in calories,  each little nugget is roughly 100 calories.... although I ate about 5 before heading to fitnesspal to get the calories,  oh well.  Only 3 at a time from now on.

Healthy easy side dish

This year I am eating healthier, trying to incorporate more superfoods into my diet and got my body moving at least 5 days a week.
I found this Seeds of Change Quinoa & Brown Rice at Costco and its better than I expected.  Just heat the package and you're good to go.  I've been using it as a side dish with sauteed greens.
