Cheesy Lasagna Rolls with Spinach and Ricotta

Ice Cream Sundae Pie

Fresh cherries in season are the crowning feature in this rich, picturesque pie…just like a sundae with a cherry on top, but better! For a less-sweet crust, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons melted butter.
Cherry Orange Oatmeal Outdoors Bars

Having a quick energy snack ready when you’re on the go--whether on a hike or a road trip, at camp or at work--is helpful to keep hunger and your mood in check. Sometimes it's a challenge to decide which energy bar will taste good and be worth the money, though. So why not make your own bars and have a little more control over the cost and what's in them? Try this simple recipe, using whatever dried fruit you prefer (cranberries, blueberries, apricots), cinnamon instead of nutmeg or peanut butter instead of almond butter. You could even add chocolate chips, but do finish them with a healthy sprinkle of ground flaxseed!
