At a fun evening with friends, Kevin and I were able to enjoy a piece (or two or three) of this amazing, partially good-for-you apple bars. Molly and her husband are pretty health conscious, but I knew they enjoy delicious foods, which told me I would totally love this dessert. She told me they were […]
Low Cal Chewy Granola Bars
I know, I know, another granola bar recipe. But, friends, I was so excited to find not one but TWO recipes I really enjoyed. This version is completely different that the first recipe I shared, but even HIGHLY on the health scale. I made a few alterations to Sarah Fit’s recipe, but I left her original […]
Homemade “Fit” Granola Bars Recipe
I have been hunting for a homemade granola bar recipe that wasn’t chock full of sugar, sugar, sugar. This recipe using some sweet alternatives like light pancake syrup and Stevia, but besides those ingredients and of course a bit of peanut butter, these bars fit my bill. I love the mixture of healthy cereals and […]

First you take a graham cracker, top with a portion of Hershey’s chocolate, roast a marshmallow to perfection, slap the marshmallow on top of the chocolate so it gets all […]

In browsing my Betty Crocker cookbook for ideas on what to serve to the teens at youth group, I stumbled about the Salted Nut Bars recipe. They sounded delicious and intriguing, not to mention simple to make. I was hooked. I altered a few of the ingredients to fit my ingredients and my tastes. I used […]
Apple Cinnamon Bars
I had a drawer overflowing with fresh delicious apples, but unfortunately we were never going to eat all of them in time. I wanted to make a special treat for the teens to enjoy, but I was looking for a new way to use my apples. I’ve made plenty of apple pies (always a hit!) […]
Peanut Butter Granola Bars
In preparing for a long drive and a week-long camping trip, I wanted to make hearty, nutritious granola bars. This recipe is quick to toss together with ingredients you’ll probably have in your cupboard. I chose to use natural peanut butter to continue with the “whole, hearty” theme, but using another form of creamy peanut […]
