Yuuki Photo of the Day

Rather than overload you with pet photos...I'll keep it to one a day....is that fair? Unless, of course, I happen to write a daily life post and Yuuki just happens to be in the photos.... ::snort::


This after playing all morning in the snow with the kids. She loves to lay in the sun....My laptop is off to the right so this is fun for me.

Peanutty Patch of Heaven Bars (Deja)

Deja sent this recipe this morning and it provided the perfect diversion for our King of Meltdowns when he needed to be removed from the neighborhood hubbub this afternoon. 


Ingredients: 
1/2 c butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1 egg
1/3 c peanut butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 C flour
1 C old fashioned oats
1 C chocolate chips (Optional??????)

Directions:
Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and peanut butter. Mix well. Stir in dry ingredients. Press into greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips (and nuts?) over top.

Bake 20 - 25 min until golden brown. Cool then serve.
These two like cleaning the bowl best!

*I used Rapadura for both sugars - worked fine....let them COOL - or the chocolate will burn the roof of your mouth and the bar will crumble.

Notes: Deja planned all sorts of healthy things with these (leaving out the chocolate must be an option in our family). My kids devoured these....and I will copy Deja and double or triple the batch and freeze some...great take out snacks.

I think I'll use craisins and take them to PWOC - the ladies probably wouldn't think chocolate is a suitable breakfast option. LOL
