Yummy Granola Bars for Young and Old

OKay Amelia is addicted to these and so am I.  I started giving them to her as part of her morning snack and now we both have them.  The recipe orginally came from Bonnie Stren’s new book Heart Smart which I love, I have made a few changes from the original recipe.  I took out the dried cranberries from the orginal recipe and doubled the coconut cause I don’t like dried cranberries that much but if you do maybe you want to switch it back.

Amelia’s Snackie Peanut Butter Granola Bars

1/4 toasted sesame seed

2cups rice crispys

2cups large flake rolled oats, toasted

1/2cup shredded coconut

1/4cup sunflower seeds

1/2cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/4cup honey

1/4cup maple syrup

1/2cup to 3/4cup peanut butter (for crunchy go for the 1/2 cup but I found that hard for Amelia to eat so I make them softer)

1/3cup veg oil

1/2cup brown sugar

toast sesame seed and almond seperatly in frying pan.  Spread oats out on a cookie sheet and bake for 10min at 350oC. Combine all dry ingedients in one bowl.  In sauce pan combine wet ingredients and melt over low heat.  Mix wet and dry well and pat out into a 13×9 inch plastic wrap lined baking dish.  Put in fridge for at least 2hrs or overnight then cut into bars. YUMMY!!!

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

Okay so as per Jen’s request, here is my current easy week night dinner that Julie has me totally addicted to.  This recipe orginally comes from Epicuious but we have changed it so much I figured it would post my version.  If you can’t be bothered making the sauce (you should try it once cause it is really good) you can just use tatziki.
