Recipe for Jan Smith's Pumpkin Energy Bars!

I’ve received permission from Jan to share this with our chapter. ️ jill hyde

Dear Sisters,

As promised, here is the recipe I was talking about at the beginning of our zoom meeting. They’re fabulous! 

 

Many of us are suffering through this pandemic, or other life events, and this is a wonderful treat.

 

Nothing can take away the pain of the personal issues some of our sisters are suffering right now. Energy bars can help in a miniscule way.
