Granola Bars
I am an active person, proven by my last post, but sometimes you just want to sit on the couch and do NOTHING. Thankfully, I am loving all the summer shows right now. Between work and all the running around we have been doing my DVR is a gold mine! I spent last Sunday on the couch, being lazy and attempting to empty my DVR. (Rough day I know)
Some of my favorites: Suits, True Blood, Franklin & Bash, and Men at Work. Oh and I really really love White Collar – if you haven’t seen it you need to watch it! No reality tv for this girl. On the days where it’s too hot to run outside, I hit the treadmill and watch tv shows on Netflix, so I’m always looking for new suggestions.
I digress – I keep a laundry list of recipes I’m dying to make and I finally got around to making my own granola bars! Seriously, why didn’t I do this before?? They are so tasty and SO easy!!
After eating about half the pan plain, I started to crumble them into my yogurt in the mornings, and I even tossed bits of them on a salad – sounds weird right? It was awesome.
What summer shows are you watching??
