Here are some ingredients that I like the taste of. It is tasty, make ahead, and healthy. Yum Yum. I like to eat it as a bedtime snack. Full of nutrition, fiber, and taste.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Jewel's breakfast bar recipe is proof that "good for you" can be delicious, too. We would be happy campers if we could have one of these bars and a cup of coffee every morning... Talk about getting the day off on the right foot! They are crunchy, chewy, and sweet with a hint of peanut butter flavor.
