Homemade Granola Bar Recipe
1 1/2 ounces raw sunflower seeds, approximately 1/2 cup
3 ounces sliced almonds, approximately 1 cup
1 1/2 ounces wheat germ, approximately 1/2 cup
6 ounces honey, approximately 1/2 cup
1 3/4 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 1/4 cup packed (I used Sucanat)
1-ounce unsalted butter, plus extra for pan
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 1/2 ounces chopped dried fruit, any combination of apricots, cherries or blueberries
Directions
Butter a 9 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, and wheat germ onto a half-sheet pan.
Place in the oven and toast for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, extract and salt in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat.
Cook until the brown sugar has completely dissolved.
Once the oat mixture is done, remove it from the oven and reduce the heat to 300 degrees F.
Immediately add the oat mixture to the liquid mixture, add the dried fruit, and stir to combine.
Turn mixture out into the prepared baking dish and press down, evenly distributing the mixture in the dish and place in the oven to bake for 25 minutes.

Homemade Hamburger Helper
Just as easy as the stuff in the box, minus the yucky additives and preservatives!
This recipe is extremely versatile and can easily be stretched to feed a crowd.
Ingredients
1 lb ground meat (turkey, chicken, or lean beef)
1 jar Newman's Own 5-Cheese Spaghetti Sauce (or a simple can of crushed tomatoes with added rosemary herb works just as well)
1 box Whole Grain Spiral Noodles (I like Kamut- high in fiber and protein!)
2 cups broth (use bouillion cubes, Chicken Broth, veggie broth, etc)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozerella, colby, etc.)
Optional: onions, peppers, diced kale, mushrooms, garlic, chopped spinach, etc.
Directions
Brown meat and drain.
Add onions/peppers/garlic and saute.
Add sauce and kale/spinach/mushrooms.
Meanwhile, boil 2 cups of water and add your bouillion cube. Add this or broth.
Bring to boil and add your noodles. Use however much noodles you need to depending on how far you need to stretch this meal.
Reduce to simmer and cover until noodles are done.
Add cheese and let sit 5 minutes.
If you add enough veggies, you've got a one dish dinner. Chopping the kale very finely is a great way to slip it in on even your pickiest eaters! (Great source of calcium...)

Baked Cracker Chicken
Ingredients
*6 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
*1/2 to 3/4 stick of melted butter
*3/4 pack of Ritz crackers
Special Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash chicken before battering to remove any film (this will cause batter to fall off).
3. Melt 1/2 stick of butter to start with, adding more as needed.
4. Smash about 3/4 pack (not box) of Ritz crackers in wrapping. Pour only small amounts in bowl for covering chicken - if you pour it all at once, the crackers will get soggy. Also, leaving small pieces of the crackers adds extra texture and taste to final product vs. smashing crumbs finely.
5. Line baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and provide covering for chicken while baking as well as easy clean up!
Directions
Simply dip washed chicken tenderloin into bowl of melted butter, then covering completely with cracker crumbs.
Line pieces touching one another in baking dish, sprinkling with salt and pepper. (This is something you'll have to guess at - depending on how much your family likes. I shake the shakers several times over each piece.)
Bake for 45 minutes, or until chicken juices are clear when you cut. Be careful not to overcook, or chicken will turn out tough.
