I have lots of recipes and I enjoy trying new recipes but I only keep the ones my family approves of. I decided one day to put my recipes where they are more organized and I can access them anywhere. I don't have fun pictures to go along with the recipes and hopefully one day I will, but between dancing around our dog and 3 small children, I only have time to cook and then get the food on the table.

Many of my recipes have come from amazing friends and family that where nice enough to share, and I have given them props for it. So if you find something you like please just give props to the appropriate person.

Homemade No Bake Granola Bars

I got this recipe while participating in an 8 week weight loss challenge of which I lost by 1% to my friend Jessica Harvey. We absolutely love these and especially how healthy they are.

2 C Oats
1 ½ C Unsweetened Coconut (bulk section at Good Earth or Winco)
½ C Uncooked, multigrain hot cereal (bulk section)
1 ½ C nuts and seeds (whatever you have on hand i.e. almonds, cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, Chia Seeds)
1 ½ C dried fruit and/or chocolate chips (I used sugar-free chocolate)
¾ C honey or agave
1 ¼ C Peanut Butter and /or almond butter
Cinnamon and vanilla to taste (optional)

Mix it all together and press into a 9x13 pan and refrigerate.
