Granola bars and sugar cookies: A Day of Baking.


die cuts. But I digress. Due to my high quantity of food related facebook posts, I decided that I could best share my recipes and kitchen exploits via a blog. Welcome to the 21st Century, me.
So today I was going over my grocery list and I came across Granola Bars. Then I crossed it off. I can make that myself. How hard can it be? Turns out, not very hard at all. Quite easy, actually! And my kids gobbled them! I cannot take credit for the recipe, so I posted it below.


As the snow started today, we rolled out some sugar cookie dough that we had made a few days ago, and Sister put on her artistic "hat". Frosting cookies for her mostly meant spreading icing on it, then licking it off, grab another cookie, repeat. Either way, it was fun for both of us.
