  • Okay, so I got this cool Recipe book from Barnes and Noble called "Quick & Easy Recipes - with just 4 ingredients". This is the perfect book for me because literally all the meals and snacks to cook in here only take FOUR ingredients. I'm totally cheap and I dont want to search the store for fifty different items to make one meal. Plus the more crap to put in it, the bigger the mess and there for the more work there is to prepare something. Anywho, I thought I would share some of these with you guys to get things started on this board a little bit. As always feel free to post your own Recipes, but I do ask you to limit them to one a day per person, not as a whole :)
  • Granola Bars
    (Prep + Cook Time = 35min )
    (Servings = 30 bars)

    ___________________________

    * Ingredients
    1 Stick of Butter, Coarsely Chopped
    1/2 Cup of firmly Packed Brown Sugar
    4 Cups of Natural Muesli
    1/2 Cup of self-rising flour

    Note: Muesli is a combination of rolled oats and dried fruit. | For maximum flavor and a more crunchy bar use a muesli that contains nuts, dried fruit and coconut

    ___________________________

    1.) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 3 inch baking pan with cooking spray; line base and long sides with parchment paper, extending paper 2 inches over the sides.

    2.) Heat butter and sugar in a medium saucepan; stir until sugar is dissolved. Then Stir in muesli and flour.

    3.) Press mixture firmly into pan; bake for about 20 minutes. Let it cool in the pan before cutting.


    I haven't tried this one but SHOOT, for 30 bars, I could be saving a lot of money making them like this rather than buying them by the box.
