Well, I know it's been a long time since I've posted but I am gonna try and get back to doing this...lol... So we are going on a little trip tomorrow to take my son to the doctor.. It's about 2 hours away so we thought we would pack our lunch... Call me weird but I don't like to eat out... We try not to eat processed foods (but sometimes we do)  so I made some chicken salad, potato salad, a cheese ball, homemade bread and  some granola bars to take on our trip.  Here is the recipe for the granola bars... I have had some facebook fans ask for it so thought I'd share.

No Bake Granola Bars

2 cups oats
2 1/2 cups rice krispies cereal
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup chocolate chips ( I use milk chocolate)

Combine oats, rice krispies, and raisins in large bowl.  Heat corn syrup, honey and brown sugar in saucepan stirring constantly till boiling.. Boil for a couple of minutes, remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla.. Pour on top of oat mixture in the bowl and mix thoroughly.  Pour into a 13 x 9 cake pan, add chocolate chips and press out into pan with wax paper. Cut into bars and they're ready to eat. Enjoy!
