Just one of those days…

Welcome to another WIAW Veggie Edition.

Homemade Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Granola Bars 

              Recipe Adapted from Taste of Home

• 1/4 Cup Crunch Peanut Butter
• 2.5 Tbsp Honey
• 1 Egg
• 1 Tbsp Canola Oil
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 
• 1 3/4 Cup Old-Fashion Oats
• 1/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
• Pinch of Salt
• 2 Tbsp Mini Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 Cup Golden Raisins 
• Preheat oven to 350. 
• In a bowl, combine Peanut Butter, Honey, Egg, Oil, and Vanilla. 
• In another bowl, combine Oats, Sugar, and Salt.
• Add wet ingredients into oat mixture. Combine fully. 
• Add chocolate chips an raisins and combine. 
• Place mixture in a greased baking dish. (I used a 9×9 with foil for easy removal from pan)
• Bake for 12-15 minutes. 
• Cool and store in an airtight container. 

I like my granola bars crunchy, so I think next time I will cook them a few extra minutes. 

This recipe makes 8 average size bars. Each less than 200 calories. Can’t beat that!!  

Other half of my granola bar.

I crumbled 1/2 of a granola bar in with a bowl with Chobani Champions Greek Yogurt (The Honey-Nana flavor) and sliced strawberries. 

I really like most Chobani flavors, but Honey-Nana is not one of them. Guess, I will be sticking with the grown up versions for now 🙂

Lunch was a hodgepodge of leftovers from Cartina Laredo. I had a stuffed jalapeno, pork taco, chicken quesadillas, and a steak and shrimp skewer. I also enjoyed a much needed Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. 

Today is one of the rare days I do not feel like cooking dinner. I may not cook really big meals every night, but I hardly ever do not want to cook anything. It is a lay on the couch and watch TV kind of day.

For dinner, I cooked a frozen pizza and added extra peppers and onion. I served my pizza with a salad with Italian Dressing.
