- Easy Chocolate Chip Granola Bars - These were SO EASY to make, but I would like to mess with the recipe a little. They were a bit sweet for my taste and they didn't hold together well until they were refrigerated, but my family loved them. When I mess with the recipe, I'll repost it. I need another binder other than honey...stay tuned.
- Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash and Quinoa - My family doesn't "do" butternut squash, so this was a risk. I generally have to sneak it into sauces and casseroles, but the author of this recipe raved so much, I wanted to give it a try. The first couple of bites indicated that it wasn't going to be popular, but the taste seemed to grow on everyone, including me! It was the weirdest thing...I think we all just got used to the taste and the better of the flavors became more prominent. I made some Beer Bread and enticed the kids to finish their bowls to earn a slice. I told them that they'd get ice cream if they ate a 2nd bowl (their bowls are teeny) and the big kids both did. (they rarely do this if they hate a meal) I probably won't make this again, but if your family likes butternut squash, you'll probably have better luck.
