bars


I am trying to exercise more and drop a few pounds. That means not grabbing the large toblerone bar that I love. There are so many yummy bars that are a great snack (especially when you are on the run). I also love to make my own. This recipe is just a basic one that can be altered a million ways. I have some in the oven as I write this blog. I was out of wheat germ and I replaced the honey with dates that I pureed.
breakfast bars
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 cup packed currants
3/4 t cinnamon, plus extra for the top
6 T brown sugar or honey
1/2 t salt
1/2 cup veg oil
1/4 cup sesame seeds and or 1/2 cup cashews
mix all and bake for 30 min at 350 in an oiled pan.

You are going to lose a few pounds? What will you wear? Do they even make clothes in a -2 now??

;-)

Seriously, you don't need to lose anything judging from your pics!

I posted the pic of my vintage looking valentines. I just sit and stare at them they are so adorable.
