We’ve been enjoying some creative outlets in the new year. Baking is one outlet for me. Though this is a great no-bake recipe, I think it still counts. Ben lamented recently about the weenie size of granola bars, so we set out to make a “Man’s bar”. Success was found in these Cranberry Almond Granola Bars. They be goooooood.

Cranberry Almond Granola Bars
2 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup cranberries
1 cup slivered almonds
2/3 c. agave nectar
2/3 c almond butter
1/2 t. salt
line 9 inch pan with parchment, press on the botton and let set for 4 hours. After 4 hours? Nom, nom, nom.
While eating your granola bars we reccomend playing some good board games from the 90’s. To be more specific, Mousetrap. Some may find all the pieces annoying, but we enjoyed it and it led to a lot of creative play. Contraptions….we love you!
We checked out Show Me a Story from the library, and it has many wonderful storytelling ideas. Building on the authors ideas we created this canvas story map. I think we worked on this, created, played for a few hours. It became an amazing piece of art. 🙂
My favorite part is this right-most tree. We made up that a little guy lived there, a creature nearly extinct that no one has seen in years. Alice named him…. The Woodler. I die with delight everytime I think of him. 🙂
