I have this cookbook for kids with recipes that hide healthy foods in Kids' favorite meals called The Sneaky Chef. Occasionally I like to flip through it and see if something catches my eye. I have been on the lookout lately for a good granola bar recipe and found one in the cookbook that I thought I would try. The ingredients didn't exactly sound appealing to me (Wheat Germ, crispy brown rice cereal, blanched almonds) but I thought what the heck, I will give it a try. After mixing all of the ingredients I have to say I didn't really like the smell so I was pretty scared about the taste. Twenty minutes later and bit of a cool down I cut the the granola into bars. It was very crumbly and I still did not like the smell. My husband, always the adventurer, said he would try one. His response was not so favorable. I ventured a taste and I have to say I wasn't too impressed either. I debated on whether to throw the granola bars in the trash but my husband said, "who knows, maybe the princesses will like them!" I agreed and put them into a container. In the morning I placed a granola bar in front of both princesses. Princess Gigi said, "No Way!" Getting her to try new food is close to impossible. Princess Gia grabbed it and stuck it in her mouth! She loves food! Since she can't talk yet I have to go by the fact that she ate quite a bit of the granola bar and assume she must have liked it.
I have another recipe for granola bars so I am going to try that tomorrow. I am too tired tonight after wrestling with my two princesses all day!
