Bacon Baked Beans

     I attended a church get together a few months ago and a friend (I didn't know this person then but anyone who cooks this good is my immediate bff!) was heating these wonderful beans on an outdoor grill.  Although they are simple and easy to make the chunks of bacon and peppers really make this something special!  Here's the recipe!

Healthy Rice Krispy Treats

These peanut butter, honey rice treats are healthy!  They are really really healthy!  I think I deserve a pat on the back for this one.  I have to be the first to admit that when I make treats "healthy"  isn't always my first consideration.  I needed to teach a women's group about some healthy treats they could make for their children this summer and so the search was on!  What I loved about these treats is that they are simple to make and taste great.  So what's not to love??  

Do you have a great recipe you would share with me for a healthy treat?  Please let me know I really need to have more to choose from!

Chewy Granola Chip Bars - 5 Ingredients!

     I know I have been saying on many recipes that they are fast and easy, but it needs to be said again for these bars. With only 5 ingredients and a no bake recipe you know they have to be quick!

      I was asked to find some fast and healthy snack for a women's meeting in my church.  I have tried several recipes and a few just weren't what I would call tasty,(of course I am the sugar queen)  but when I found this recipe I knew I had hit the mark!  Wow!  They are soooo good and have healthy ingredients too!   (I am not sure about the peanut butter chips but you can cut down on them or leave them out entirely if you choose.)  

     They are especially easy to make because you can buy granola (in any degree of healthy you desire) and just add it to the mix, pour into a pan, cool and eat!  This makes a great snack for kids who are home for the summer.

Bring the butter, sugar, and honey in a pan to a boil and simmer over medium low heat about 2 minutes.

Add granola and rice cereal and stir until it is well coated.  

Press the mixture in a 11 x 7 inch parchment lined pan.  Sprinkle both flavors of chips over the granola bars and let mixture cool.  Lift the bars out of the pan and cut into long granola bar shapes.

enjoy!
