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!

Get Some Fruit in Your Life

March 15, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! In most of my WIAWs I’ve said that I really need more fruit in my diet. I eat a banana or apple most days weeks, however I am not a big fan of berries. Something about the texture bugs me, not to mention the fact that they seem to go bad pretty quickly. …

 Hello Friends! I am a beginner cook.  I am sure most of you have realized this. I am fascinated by all of these cooking blogs that I follow because each one makes me feel like I know even less about preparing a meal.  (See my Friday Five Foodie Finds for recipes I drool over weekly.) …
