blustery day...

It's a very blustery day today.
It's a very good day to stay indoors!
It's a very, very good day to do some baking!
I made some granola bars from Trish's recipe.  She posted them on her blog and I just had to try them.  The only thing I did differently is use 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 white flour.

OOPS - guess you're not supposed to put the entire bottle of honey in the microwave to get it melty!

They should print that on the outside of the jar.

I was too lazy to set the honey jar in boiling water very anxious to get these mixed up and in the oven!
I also mixed Craisins and toasted almonds in 1/2.....
well maybe 2/3.....of the batter....
 Mmmmmmm - my kitchen smells so good!
 Here - let's get a little closer!

    I like to warm my honey too...only for a few seconds. I open up my jar so that it can let any steam escape...perhaps that could have helped?
    Those bars look so yummy!...do you mail them out? Ha!
    Hugs,
    Kathy

      Wellllll....I did take the lid off, but I'm "nuked" it for about 1 min. That could have something to do with it! Funny - on the mailing part! Hugs back!

    Kathy, those look so good! I like the idea of the ww flour, almonds and craisins. Maybe a couple of tablespoons of ground flax might be a good addition too! Definately on my baking list!

    Those look so yummy! And healthy!
    As for the honey, any #1 plastic will deform in the microwave.
    The number is on the bottom in the recycle symbol.
