So while I have been off with my surgery I have been playing molly homemaker I have even learned to make fairly healthy homemade granola bars. Everyone that has tried them wants the recipe so here it is. hope you like them to, I do lots of variations with chocolate chips and stuff.

Chewy Granola Bars
4 1/2 cups rolled oats (31/2 cups rolled oats & 1 cup of rice crispies)
1 cup all-purpose flour ( I will use a 1/4 cup of protein and 3/4 cup of flour if I have it)
1 teaspoon baking soda (I haven't added)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey (a little more than 2/3 a cup)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch pan.
In a large mixing bowl combine the oats, flour, baking soda, vanilla, butter or margarine, honey and brown sugar. Stir in the 2 cups assorted chocolate chips, raisins, nuts etc.
Lightly press mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes then cut into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing or serving.
(I use a rolling pin to press into a pan very good, and I like to eat them warm)

Kolton started playing football today, it was quiet a game. He got some good field time, and was our star!!! Hunter is getting ready to start playing so he didn't miss the chance to throw a few balls too.
Kolton is the one in the all blue shirt, it is nice that we can pick him out of the group.
