And so it began....

It all started on a girls night out. A few friends and I went out for the evening and had a terrific time! When we returned to my house, everyone was starving, so I went to the kitchen and whipped up an amazingly simple recipe ( you can find it under "breakfast") The girls all loved it and wanted the recipe... what easier way to share it with everyone than start a blog?

Since then - I have added all our family favorites, recipes which people have asked me for or things that delight me. I have also added some stories about events that lead up to the recipes I adore - they seem to go hand and hand in our household!

I don't claim to be a foodie or a chef but I am a pretty darn good cook. I like to put my one little twist on things and surprise people, mix flavors, kick it up a notch...

So - try it out and Enjoy! And Hey - Let me know what you think or if there are any recipes you would like me to add!

Monday

Blackberry Cranberry Granola Bars



1/2 cup packed brown sugar
 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda 1/8 (generous) tsp salt
1/2 cup of almond granola
1/2 cup butter, softened and cut into small squares
3/4 cup Blackberry Jam 1/3 cup dried cranberries

 Preheat oven to 350º. Spray an 8 inch square pan with cooking spray and set aside. Combine the brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and almond granola, stirring to combine. Drop the butter into the flour mixture and rub with your fingers to form a crumble. Press about 2 cups of the mixture into the prepared pan and spread the jam over the top. Sprinkle the dried cranberries over the jam and then sprinkle with the remaining crumble mixture, gently pressing the crumble into the top of the jam. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the bars are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Allow the bars to cool before cutting into squares.
