Baking and Couponing

I try to bake a couple of items per week here at home. I'm back to making almost all of our bread these days and piling it up in the freezer. But for today's baking I pulled out a long forgotten recipe for homemade granola bars. This is just too easy:

3 C oats
1 C Chocolate Chips
1/2 C raisins
1/2 C sunflower seeds
2t sesame seeds (I threw in some peanuts as I was out of sesame seeds)
1/3 C wheat germ

Combine dry. Add to the following blended mixture
1C brown sugar
2/3 C peanut butter
1/2 C honey
1/2 C melted butter
2t vanilla

Blend well, place in greased 9 by 13 pan. Bake 350 for 20 min. (Edges begin to golden)

Cool, cut warm and serve!



My inbox this morning had my Harris Teeter weekly flier in it. Wouldn't you know it; they are having triples this week! I threw together some coupons that match up with the ads and headed the kids over there at about 11:00 this morning. They had everything I needed in stock! Out of pocket: 33.37 Saved: 56.61! That's 1.00 per pound on GORGEOUS skinless, boneless chicken breast in the picture!

Enjoy!
