    I JUST FOUND THIS..THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE

    POWER BARS

    Ingredients

    1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grape-Nuts™)
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 beaten egg
    1/4 cup applesauce
    1/4 cup honey
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
    1/4 cup chopped walnuts
    1 (7 ounce) bag chopped dried mixed fruit

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
    In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, cereal, and cinnamon. Add the egg, applesauce, honey, brown sugar, and oil. Mix well. Stir in the sunflower seeds, walnuts, and dried fruit. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
    Bake 30 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned around the edges. Let cool. Use the foil to lift from the pan. Cut into bars or squares, and store in the refrigerator.

    Moroccan Chickpea Stew - with Pita bread of course!

    can diced tomatoes
    2 cans chickpeas
    3/4 cup onion - chopped
    3 garlic cloves minced
    crushed red pepper flakes to taste
    cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
    cumin - 1tablespoons or more
    water - about 2 cups

    Do not saute in oil (only adds calories and fat) saute onion,garlic, spices in a little water - add tomatoes and chickpeas. Add water. Let it come to a gentle boil. Add spinach at the end. salt and pepper to taste.

    Fat free, Serves 4 - I believe it comes out to be under 200 calories per serving - high in fiber - low fat.

    Love this recipe. You can eat it alone, layer it with taco meat and fixings in a "bowl," eat it cold or hot... And it makes a LOT. The other week I used it for 4-5 meals!
