Do you know how hard it is to push the "publish" button when you've been away for a while? Whew! I didn't mean to be away for so long, but one thing led to another, life happened, and time slipped away from me.
So I'm easing back in with these peanutty granola bars. My friend Lisa shared this recipe-from The Marathon Mom- with me. Her family goes through a batch of them every week, and I can see why! They mixed up in a jiffy (no oven needed) with ingredients I had on hand, and turned out crunchy and delicious.
At my house, granola bars are just as good for hurried mornings as they are for hungry afternoons. These are a great alternative to the preservative laden bars you get from the grocery store that are made with ingredients you can't pronounce. Oats, wheat germ, honey, coconut oil, peanut butter and peanuts- that's it! You will need to keep them in the refrigerator though- they get gooey if they sit out.
It's good to be back. It felt good to dust off my camera. I even enjoyed my little

ReplyDeleteThanks- It's good to be back! They are good. I just sprinkled some mini chocolate chips on a batch I just made- yum! :)

ReplyDeleteThis post did not show up in my blog roll!!!!! I thought maybe you'd dropped off so I hit the "join this site" button and was told that I had already joined the site. Well, I knew that. What I don't know is why I didn't see this post. Oh well, now that I've seen it, I like it. Hope you are enjoying fall in one of my favorite parts of the Old Dominion!!

ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, I didn't Tablescape for two and a half months and my house seemed more orderly and in control. I kept posting recipes two times a week but friends told me I was slacking off! I liked slacking off during the summer. We were just too busy.

I'm a big granola bar fan!! Add a little pb to it and it's even better.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pic of the kitty looking at the bars, just adorable.
I'm so glad you're back! I LOVE a good granola bar. Especially homemade. And especially with peanut butter and chocolate. So these are pretty much ideal!
