I was so lucky tonight to get a needed date night with my husband….to go see New Moon! Finally. I had forgotten how much I loved the Twilight books. We didn’t have time for dinner, so I packed an almond butter, Nutella, and banana sandwich + a chocolate coconut Lara bar. I love packing meals/snacks for [...]
