my fave appetizer when I go to Humpy's or the Peanut Farm...

A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used.

Quick High Fiber Pork Stir Fry

My version of the same item found at a local Tex/Mex Dining Establishment

This is a great whole grain muffin recipe that is moist and tender. Makes a huge batch of batter that keeps very well in the refrigerator. You can bake a dozen (or more or less) at a time to always have fresh muffins. It works great to add whatever mix-ins you want to customize your muffin experience (or to accommodate personal tastes).
NOTE: The nutrition info does not include any mix-ins. I calculated based on 8 dozen, but obviously you'd have to adjust if your muffins are larger or smaller than mine.

Low calorie snack the kids will enjoy

Mix cake mix and soda

This is the most basic of the spreads. You can find a variation of this recipe in almost any grocery store, but 95 percent of them are made with either olive oil or tahini (sesame paste), which pushes up the fat content. Your best bet is to take three minutes and make a batch on Sunday that will last you for the week.

A super easy mix to put together and store so you can make muffins easily and for very low cost and calories! I make the mix about once a month and then store it in a big #10 can (the size of a large coffee can) with a lid. On top of the lid I put the directions for making the muffins so that even my children can put them together.
