I have a road trip coming up this weekend with my mom and sister… so I decided to make a batch of the oh so popular homemade granola bars. Now that I have made them a couple of times I can crank these out in no time. They are so much better than anything you can buy at the grocery store.

I melted the peanut butter and honey together (I’m out of almond butter – can you believe it?)

Eventually it melted and combined:

I gathered all of the ingredients together:

There is a lot of chopping involved in making these babies:

I chopped almonds, dried apricots, cranberries, raisins, and a few semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let me tell you, chopping cranberries and raisins is not the easiest thing in the world 🙂

The end result looked quite good:

Yum…. my sister has not tried these granola bars, so I made them especially for her.

Breakfast was a bit of a challenge because I am not feeling all that great today. Eventually I made myself eat half a cup of yogurt with some brown rice cereal and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It hit the spot…

Cinnamon is a great way to spice up yogurt. The brown rice cereal gives it a low key crunch, too. Quite a good combo. I have to go get ready for lunch. See you in a bit.
