Granola Bars are one of my favorite snacks so, I wanted to find a good recipe so I could make them myself. I got this recipe from cooks.com. They were SUPER yummy!
1c Honey
1c brown sugar
1c peanut butter
1tsp vanilla
6c cereal, oatmeal
1 1/2 c dried fruit, chocolate chips. nuts ect.
bring to boil the honey and brown sugar. Add peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and stir until coated. Press into a 9x13 pan. Cut into bars.
Helpful hints: Move fast. Once the honey mixture cools, it also turns into a brick! I would suggest using more oatmeal than cereal if you want chewy bars. I only used chocolate chips and left out the dried fruit and they were very tasty!
Enjoy!

Stay-Cation!
It's March in Minnesota...uugh! If you've never lived in Minnesota before you might not really understand the emphasis on the uugh! This winter seems to have drug on forever, I swear, it is always snowing! A few of my friends were fortunate enough to go on a vacation to Mexico. Seeing their excitement and listening to their plans just fueled the spring fever that the rest of us girls had been feeling! So, since most of us could not afford to actually get on a plane and fly to a tropical paradise, we decided to make our own! Marty left for the day and most of the night. We turned the heat up to 76 degrees...everyone wore their favorite summer outfit and flip flops (slippers were banned from the house!) We made fun tropical drinks, and tons of yummy appetizers and smoothies!
For dinner we made Margarita Pizza and tomato basil and mozzarella salad...yum!
Some all-inclusive resorts have a swim-up bar...the Richter's Resort came fully loaded with a foot soak bar! We dipped our toes in the warm "ocean water" while sitting beside palm trees and listening to the sounds of the ocean.
We gave ourselved pedicures and got those feet ready for the sun!
The locals sang us some sweet island tunes!
Until next year ladies!
