sweet collection!

I felted the wool for some of these. On others it was to bulky to use with the zippers. I used in-the-hoop embroidery designs from 3 different designers. (More details available on request...)

Breakfast Bars

Not that our house would ever be considered "sane"... but the first day of school for a couple of my guys comes around on Monday. To help tame some of the craziness of the morning rush, it does help to have breakfast ready. (& if it can be eaten in the car on the way to the bus stop or car pool, that's even better!)

Here's my bar "of choice":

chopped apples

a little peanut butter

some protein powder

eggs

orange juice

stir in apples

add spice

oh, how 'bout another spice

well, maybe just one more...

raisins

rolled oats

press it into the baking sheet

heat it up a bit

let it cool

slice into bars

serve it to your honey with his coffee

(Oh, they're not too bad with a tall glass of milk, either...)
