Remember when things were simple and easy? Okay, fine, maybe things were never that simple and easy…but there were moments were things just fell into place and it all felt so… simple and easy.

Lately, I’ve been getting a bit bogged down by negative thoughts and grappling with anxiety. I realized that to make things just a bit easier, I’d have to start actively infusing more positivity into my day.

So all the things that bother me on a daily basis? Identify broad categories for them and figure out how to remove/reduce them in my life. I just feel like, if one thing could be easier, that would ease things overall quite a bit. Ya know?

One of the things that bothers me/tires me out the most? Meal prep. Snack prep. All the preps. So today, I’m sharing a simple and easy snack recipe that’s made my day a bit easier, in hopes that it’ll do the same for you. 🙂

Maybe it won’t fix everything, but it might just fix something. Sound good? Let’s make this!
