Have you ever given us your granola bar recipe?
After reading your column I just had to go get some toast with peanut butter. Thanks!
Kristin, I love this granola bar recipe. I gave it out a long time ago. I think i’ll make it today. At first you think it is way to dry to turn out, but it really turns out great!
I agree with Courtney, never knew this.
Thanks for your suggestions!
