Granola Bars

When I go shopping, it takes me forever, especially if I am purchasing a new product.  So I am that mom you see standing there in the aisle, shopping cart blocking traffic (sorry)  reading the ingredient listing and trying to make heads or tails of the nutrition label.  I became very compulsive of this when it was time to purchase those quick snacks for my children's lunches.  You know the kind...something that they can hold in their hand, not be messy, requires no utensils and can be eaten in a flash so that they can enjoy their recess/lunch break.  And I am that mom that wants to make sure that they are getting "all the colors of the rainbow" in their daily eats and not too much unnecessary sugar.  I used to buy those lovely granola bars.  You know the kind.  As I too used to get them in my lunch when I was a kid.  There are so many brands and flavors out there on the shelves.  But if you look at the ingredients, no matter how many times they say "0 Fat", &quo

My Very First Post - Sweet Potato & Tuna Cakes and Yummy Stew

This is a quick one, as I am test driving how to blog.  As much as I want to do this, it does take time and I have Jolie at home with me.  Jolie is my four year old little girl, my little angel, and at times, my little fire cracker!  I also have two sons, Brendan (9) and Adam (6). This first post is to share two of my recipes that I posted on Facebook.  Having children at different stages of "taste bud"  development , it's hard to find that magic recipe that everyone enjoys. Well it just so happened that all three enjoyed this one.  So I am just going to cut and paste from my Facebook.  I won't worry about editing at this time but will focus on that as I get more proficient with this whole blogging thing.  Thanks!
