We share recipes and ask and answer questions from “How do you feed your family at night when you don’t walk in the door until 5:30 and you have a soccer game at 6 and piano lessons at 6:15 ... on opposite ends of town?” to “What’s your Thanksgiving menu this year?” to “Remember that punch you made at Christmas? What was the recipe?” So come on in to our virtual dinner group, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let’s start cooking together.

Make-Your-Own Granola Bars
Maeve can bring in a morning snack to school. I offered her the options of home morning snacks from the summer, usually fruit or cracker & cheese, nuts & dried fruit. None are as exciting as the granola bars (not the dry kind Dad gets) or fruit snacks the other kids bring. I don't on a regular basis buy chewy granola bars or fruit snacks - and don't want to make them a habit. To compromise we decided to try making Chewy granola bars that were healthy and even have some dried fruit and nuts. I let you know how they go over at school. Ok. So the first one was not as big a hit as I hoped. Katie had this one pinned it was great. First batch went in a day, and I didn't even add chocolate chips. This time I am so I'm doubling the recipe no bake granola bars
These look great. How did they go over?
ReplyDeleteMaeve thought they were a little sweet. The other 2 loved them. I had replaced the corn syrup with honey. I might do a little less honey. I replaced the wheat germ with corn meal because that is what I had. I'll try it again and also try different nuts and fruit.
