About Me

I love food and I love cooking. I am not a gourmet cook, and I can be intimidated by multi step crazy ingredient recipes that take hours to make! I love animals which has lead me to a plant based diet which makes me feel better. I believe you should make food that taste good and is good for you. I also believe that part of healthy eating is enjoying the process from start to finish. The enjoyment in creating your food I feels comes through in the taste. I hoping with this blog you will find recipes that you can make and enjoy if you’re a vegetarian, a meat eater in the mood for a meatless dish, or just some new ideas for your home menu. I will try to keep the recipes simple with whole healthy and easily accessible ingredients. I look forward to sharing with you my cooking adventures (and sometimes misadventures!) and I welcome your feedback and suggestions!!

Kamut Energy Bars

Homemakers was on a roll this month!!  I got this recipe through inspiration for their puffed brown homemade energy bars recipe.  This is both sweet and salty- my fav combo! <3
They turn out to have a texture much like a rice crispy square! They are quite yummy and full of good for you ingredients!

4 cups of Kamut puffs (you could also use puffed rice cereal)
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds mixed
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup shredded coconut

1 cup liquid honey
1 tsp cinnamon 
1 tsp sea salt

oil for greasing bowl and 9 x 13 baking dish

grease bowl and baking dish


chop the peanuts and cashews

mix all of the dry ingredients except salt

in large pot boils honey and salt

honey expands while cooking so make sure you have a good sized pot!!

cook honey until 3/4 of cup approx 5 mins

mix immediately honey in to the dry ingredients

mix well then immediately press mixture in to baking dish

pat down the mixture in baking dish as the mixture firms up make sure they are good and packed in to the dish

allow the mixture to cool  and firm completely- about an hour cut into bars
