Hello Friends! I had planned on these being a different version of my Homemade Scotchie Granola Bars, however a couple of changes to the recipe resulted in a completely different texture!

Let’s Think

March 22, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s all about Preparation + Country Love

March 19, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I hung out with the BF and his dad at their family farm this weekend.  It was a much needed escape from everyday life and stress. The farm is in the middle of Nebraska somewhere.  (I’m not the one driving…I don’t pay attention.) The house isn’t…
