Homemade Granola Bars

A little while back I made these granola bars. The recipe makes enough to fill a 9X13 pan, and ours were gone within a couple of days. Everyone in the family liked them. The only thing I did differently from the recipe was to omit the wheat germ (didn't have any) and add in a little extra flour plus ground flaxseed to compensate.

You could play around with the ingredients like adding in coconut, nuts, craisins, etc. I think next time I'll put in chocolate chips. Mmm, the possibilities...

French Dip Sandwiches

One eye of round roast (fat trimmed off)- covered in sea salt (and/or garlic salt) & crushed pepper.
One can of beef consume

Cook in the crock pot on low.
I also throw in some onions ...and peppers (for me).
You can shred the meat after several hours. Buy your favorite sandwich rolls and wallah...french dip!

Save your meat & make Bethany P.'s Sheppard's pie the next night ( http://recipemamas.blogspot.com/2007/10/shepherds-pie.html)
