Well I will be gone for a week...here's what hubby is cooking for the kids

So I am gone for a week for work and pleasure and hubby has mommy duty till Thursday so I have planned a simple week for him and done a ton of baking...today I made bread, oatmeal strudel muffins,  granola bars and waffles.  

Here is the granola bar recipe I use every week (I got this from my Feingold recipe board)...they are soft and chewy and seem to go fast in my home

1 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. EACH baking soda & baking powder
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. vanilla
1/4 c. honey
(I usually have to add a little bit of water 'cause they're a bit dry)

Combine all but vanilla & honey. Mix & then add vanilla & honey & water
if needed, mix well again. 

Press into a parchment paper lined 8 x 8 pan. (you can double the recipe and put in a 9x13 pan)

Bake at 325 for 18 -20 minutes or until golden brown. 

Cool before cutting.
Options: Add up to 1 cup of any of the following when you add honey:
chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate/carob chips, coconut or trail mix, I have even added a scoop of peanut butter.

So dinner this week for the kids: pasta alfredo, Annie's mac & cheese with ground beef & veggies & breakfast for dinner
