Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Bars
Make these ahead of time. They keep well on the counter and can even be frozen.
Line a 13 x 9-inch pan with foil.
In large bowl, mix together 3/4 c. peanut butter, 3/4 c. brown sugar, and 1/4 c. butter, until well blended. Stir in 1/4 c. honey, 1 egg, and 1 t. vanilla. Add 1 c. oatmeal (uncooked), quick or regular, along with 1 c. uncooked oat bran and 1/2 c. nonfat dry milk.
Stir until mixed. It will be a little crumbly. Press into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. After it cools, lift out of pan by the foil and onto cutting board. Cut into two-inch squares.
Berry-Lime Smoothie
Smoothies are a great way to get fruit into your kids. If they like them, you can experiment with all kinds of ingredients, from mango to blueberries to peach nectar to yogurt. Here's a tasty start.
Place in blender 1 c. frozen strawberries, 1 c. fresh or frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 c. frozen raspberries, 1/4 c. orange juice, and 2 T. frozen limeade concentrate. Whirl together - you can add a bit more juice, if needed. Bendy straws make it even more delicious.
