Iv got the power!

Iv got the power... bars! I hope I feel like Jim Carey in this scene when I eat one tomorrow. I was on another Pinterest bender last night and found this recipe for 3 ingredient power bars.

So I ended up buying the wrong dates.I was not educated in date buying what so ever so I went to bulk foods and picked up the first thing that said dates on it lol. This lead to the mixture not being sticky enough BUT being the genius that I am, I added honey and it worked. Then, because it wouldn't be a kitchen adventure without me breaking something, the food processor started to wiggle all kind of strange and then smoke came out of it. Go me! Way to break appliances. Its kind of my specialty.

 I used dates, almonds, raisins, and some granola. They aren't pretty but they are yummy.

I wrapped them all in cling wrap and called it a day. And take note of the one in the shape of a ball. I'm starting a trend. Power balls! Get your mind out of the gutter, geeze.

B T Dubs for those of you who didn't know I'm a huge Supernatural fan. I jokingly picked up this granola at Wegmans one weekend to share with the other SPN groupies. A year later and I'm so hooked. Its granola crack. Any time I go on a trip I pack some in my hex bag lol.

P.S....

Its been awhile since iv blogged (like a whole year.... oops) BUT I have great news. The Rizz has been hearting veg for two years now. It was hard to give up chicken nuggets but I did it!

Burrrrrr

Burr its chilly today. We have had our first significant snow this year, significant in the fact that school is closed lol. I know some of you are saying what snow. Its kind of a bummer because I was ready for spring. It looked so pretty this morning with big snow flakes coming down, now its just sleet.

I'm on my Pintrest kick this morning so I have already made homemade soap, and am ready for the next activity. I was thinking that since it is so cold outside that it would be a good idea to try some chili. I found this awesome recipe from Emril Lagasse for his version of Vegetarian Chili.Its only 331 calories per serving. Lots of different veggies. Cant wait to taste it.

We have a wonderful Real Estate agent who comes to our school named Al Friedman. He is also called Chef Al because he brings so many yummy things to our school. He makes us regular cheese steaks and portabella ones. He also makes some amazing vegetarian chili. He told me that he uses cauliflower in it to give it more texture.Great tip!I would have never thought of that. I guess that's why hes the great Chef Al.

Happy Wednesday folks! :)
