One of my best friends lives in Seattle and we’re both pretty much stuck on a health kick.  She cooks and bakes and has actually begun recording a lot of her recipes.  Since I’m here visiting, I thought I’d feature some these (with her permission, of course).

She wanted me to note that she doesn’t always measure out the ingredients and kind of just feels out the amounts, but here’s one recipe to get you started:

Homemade Power-Bars
