In other news, Mother Nature must have heard the call of last night’s salad because it was, get ready for it, 61 degrees today!!! I was waltzing around this afternoon without a coat, literally unable to comprehend the spring-like temps smiling down on the Midwest in the dead of winter. I still can’t believe it! 8)
The day only got better when I opened my mailbox this afternoon and found a crisp, white, bakery bag inside filled with…
Blueberry Muffin Larabars!! I was all "whoooowwhhaaaaaaAAAAYYESSSSSS!!!"
Blueberry Muffin Larabars, people! I had no idea LB was coming out with a new flavor, and to get a surprise package of them in the mail was just the cherry blueberry on the sundae! Thanks Larabar!
Sticking with the company’s signature low-ingredient list, this bakery-inspired bar has all the right stuff.
And it legit tastes like blueberry muffin! There was no mistaking it for anything else with those chewy, sweet, dried blueberries. HOW do they do it?
I know we just got done with the Month of Holiday Giveaways, but I’ve GOT to share the love. I’m giving away 3 Blueberry Muffin Larabars to 3 LB lovers! Enter by Friday, 12/30 @ 5pm central by telling me what your favorite part of 2010 was!
Ready? Set… Go!
I had no idea about the Blueberry Muffin Larabar either! That is AWESOME and I can’t wait to try them!!
When I quit my job was by far the best part!
favorite part of 2010 was being blessed with an amazing family to nanny for. <3 and visiting DC where my sister lives an admiring all of America's history.
love this post , these recipes all sound amazing the second time around as well!
Hands down, the best thing about this year has been my husband finishing his tour with the Navy. It’s so great to have him home and not be worried when he was gone. Second best thing was we were able to move back to Iowa! I love blueberry muffins and Larabars so I can’t wait to try this new bar.
walking out of the clinic the last day? definitely up there. starting my own biz? yep!
an awesome culinary birthday? another favorite.
I would LOVE to try one of these bars… blueberry will most likely be my favorite!!
My fav. part of 2010 was my wedding in April!!
Oh-me-oh-my I LOVE BLUEBERRIES! I hope I can find some of those in my neck of the woods! I loved your Best Recipes post today! Great pics!
My favorite part of 2010 was graduating with my MBA and getting a new job (and it was even the job I always wanted) after being unemployed for 14 months.
P.S. I am jealous of your weather! We are in a winter storm warning until Saturday. We had rain, freezing rain and next up the snow!
blueberry muffin larabar!!??!! sounds soooooo good!
my favorite part of 2010 was graduating college!
My favorite part was going to Nicaragua for the second time on mission with my closest friends. It was beyond life-changing! I can’t wait to go back for a third time
Slash I LOVE Larabars! I eat at LEAST one every day. And I love bloobs and bloob muffins, so this is perfect! I can’t wait to try one
Mmmm… Blueberries… Up here in northern Minnesota, we have billions (yes, BILLIONS) of wild blueberries! July just wouldn’t be July if you didn’t head out to the woods to pick them!
My favorite part of 2010? Lots of things, but a boat trip with my family across Lake of the Woods to the state park on Garden Island (Yes! There’s a state park on an island!!) and then on to Oak Island for lunch ~ FABULOUS!
OH I WANT that LARABAR!
My favorite part of 2010 was my trip to Minneapolis to see a friend and see Wicked again!
hmm…my favorite part of 2010? definitely a tie between finishing my 2nd 1/2 marathon (and beating my personal record by leaps and bounds!) and being in the delivery room with my best friend as she gave birth to her 3rd baby girl!
My favorite part was having both of my daughters (ages 2 and 4) start school in September. It’s nice to have a quiet house for a few hours a day for the 1st time in years, and it’s even nicer seeing how excited they are to go off to school everyday!
My favorite part of 2010 — finally graduating from college with a degree I’ve worked so hard to get! Now it’s looking to 2011 to find that Nursing job!
The first Thanksgiving with both my babies was my favorite part.
I had a great 2010…I passed the praxis and got a job!!!!
2010 was a blast! The best part was marrying my best friend and love of my life, Scott!

Best parts of 2010 buying a house and getting married.
Do you know if we can buy this new flavor anywhere in the dsm area yet?
Unfortunately not, I don’t think. It’s not even on their website yet!
Experiencing things I’d never done before that were really outside of my comfort zone.
Fav part of 2010 was moving to my very own apartment!!
:D
There are too many great things about this year to name. But I will add the new flavor of Lara Bars to the list! I wish I could find a source near me that sells a good variety. We just have Jewel and they only sell the not as good kinds. No cookie dough, no peanut butter chocolate chip, and now I am sure no blueberry muffin.
My favorite part of 2010 was my two week vacation to the Greek islands with my sister! We had a blast exploring the beautiful islands and indulging in the delicious food!
My favorite part of 2010 was finding a new job I love.

Happy New Year!
Finishing grad school!
Resigning from my job to be a stay at home mom – best decision I ever made
I love anything blueberry and have never had a larabar.
Say what???? When did this happen? I can’t WAIT to try the new flavor.
Okay, my favorite part of 2010 was finally being diagnosed and seeking the treatment I needed to help me get healthy.
My favorite part of ’10 was my summer. I had the best summer filled with travel, friends and family! The best things a girl could ask for! I was just thinking the other day that they should make a blueberry flavor Larabar!!! WEIRD.
I am definitely going to check out those recipes, possibly Bacon wrapped Dates!!!
getting a kitty & celebrating 1 yr with my husband!
Favorite part of 2010….hmmmmm…..the World Cup (for soccer) was a really fun time for my family. We’re Colombian so FUTBOL is a BIG deal!!!

BTW…61* in Iowa?! Crazy.
My 2nd love to pumpkin-anything is BLUEBERRY-anything (blueberry pancakes, blueberry cornbread, blueberry ale from Granite City when in season!) I can’t wait to try them!

Getting married to the love of my life!!!
