Good, healthy snacks can sometimes be hard to come by. Taking a few minutes to stock your desk, purse, car and other high-traffic areas can mean the difference between productivity and a quick bout of hanger (hunger + anger). Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite easy, homemade snack recipes. If you can’t have some of our hand-roasted pecans sold in our online shop, these pecans will do the trick.
