Toasted Oats Peanut Cranberry Bars
I literally took this recipe off of the back of a cereal box, Target’s Market Pantry Toasted Oats Cereal. Been wanting to make them, for the longest time, and finally got around to it late last week. On the box they’re called ‘breakfast bars’, but they’re more snack bars for us.
They turned out all right, and are tasty, though a bit crumbly. But I blame myself, as I think I should’ve made a bit more, of the corn syrup/peanut butter/brown sugar mixture, then stated in the recipe. Next time though!! Says it makes 24 bars, but I cut it into 16. The recipe is below, if you’re interested, in making it.
Do you have a cereal bar recipe you’d like to share?! Tell me about it, I’d love to hear from you!!

Turkish Sucuklu Tost (Turkish Grilled Sausage and Cheese Sandwich)
When I got up this morning, I was craving Turkish tost for breakfast. Traditionally it’s made with ‘Kasar’ cheese, which is perfect for melting, and gets all ooey gooey when toasted. Unfortunately, we can’t get Kasar cheese here, so the closest thing to it in North America – is Mozzarella. I had a, shredded cheese mixture of cheddar and mozzarella, so I used that this morning. I also added ‘Sucuk’, which is Turkish Sausage. This is another variation in the sandwich, and our very favourite. I sprinkled a little of the cheese on the bread (I used light rye), placed a few slices of sausage, and then another sprinkling of cheese on top. I then placed it on our griddler, set to high, and toasted it for 8-10mins. And voila, you have yourself a Turkish grilled cheese!! One of Turkey’s most popular, and beloved comfort foods…

Pineapple Flavoured Canada Dry AND Crush :o
My hubby and I came across both of these today, when we made a stop at a nearby convenience store…and my jaw dropped when I saw them. It’s obviously been a WHILE, since we’ve needed to go to a convenience store, because these flavour for either brand is new to us LOL Alas we didn’t buy either though, because the sugar content was obscenely high, and still would’ve been even if we shared. If ONLY they made these in Diet…I would totally give them a try!! Have any of you had the chance to try either of these out?! Would love to know, if you have, and what they tasted like…
Cheers Everyone 🙂
McDonald’s Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry
My hubby says we tried this McFlurry last year, but for the life of me, I don’t remember that LOL I’ll say this, it DOES taste like Cadbury Crème Egg flavoured ice cream, which is awesome!! If you like the chocolate, I’m sure you’ll like this McFlurry. Be warned though, it’s almost as sweet as the Cadbury Crème Eggs themselves, which is why we probably won’t have this flavour again…was just too sweet for us. Also, make sure you get the person behind the counter, to mix it REALLY well. The person at the location we bought it at, barely mixed it, and I had to mix it by hand some more before we shared it. Mind you that’s just a complaint against the employee, and not the McFlurry itself 🙂 I guess I’m just spoiled by how well DQ’s Blizzards are mixed together LOL This particular McFlurry is here for a limited time, and I wouldn’t expect it to be around, too far past Easter. So get it while you can!!

Crock Pot Butternut Squash & Chickpea Coconut Curry
I was looking up some more vegetarian recipes, when I came across this one. It sounded yummy, and simple to make. Not to mention it’s made in the Crock Pot…SOLD!! It turned out pretty good, though next time I’ll add red pepper flakes, from some heat. I’ll also add more curry then the recipe calls for, since we like more of it 🙂 Otherwise, it turned out great, and it’s been placed in the trusty recipe binder I have. Will make this again for sure.

Krispy Kreme’s Lotta Latte Donuts Are Here!!
Love coffee? Love Donuts? Put the 2 together and what do you get? A couple of pretty nummy looking, coffee flavoured donuts – I’d say!! Will definitely be trying these 2 out sometime soon.

Krispy Kreme’s Valentine’s Donuts!!
I believe the 2 heart shaped filled donuts, were here last year, but the ‘X’ and ‘O’ are new 🙂 The 2 hearts were filled with cream, and were good, not outrageously sweet. Unfortunately for us, the ‘X’ and ‘O’ were much sweeter. Will pass on those, if they bring them back next year. If you’re a Krispy Kreme fan, and want to try one of these, make your way over to a local store before Valentine’s Day comes and goes!!

Cookie Dough Protein Bites
These look yummy…and healthy to boot!! I, personally won’t add the protein powder, because I’m not into that. Can’t wait to make them…
Bon Appetit Everyone!! 🙂
I used to love raw cookie dough…licking the bowl, the spoon and even eating the cookies before they went into the oven! I don’t know many people who don’t like it, as a matter of fact. Usually cookie dough is loaded with sugar, white flour, butter and eggs. It is definitely not something healthy to be snacking on. That is why I decided to make a clean, healthy, protein-packed recipe to snack on and I think I’ve come up with a winner.

🔹2scoops vanilla protein powder
