Sooo Sorry!!!

Wow, time flies when your having...well wasn't fun per say...work got insane and engulfed me! But I was busy cooking as always.  I'm trying really hard to make homemade snacks rather than buying packaged crap, because no matter how hard I try, there is always something inside those packaged items that isn't good for you.  Although these recipes aren't my original recipes, they proved to be very yummy!

I've been testing the waters to see if I am gluten intolerant.  I'm getting the feeling I'm probably not, but these recipes are gluten free.  You always can substitute the regular gluten product! I made some Cheddar Cheese Crackers that blow cheez-its out of the water.  So yummy, I made mine into bigger stars because I didn't have cute little cookie cutters.  These would be so sweet on a cheese platter for a party.  I highly recommend piercing a few dots (I used a fork) into the centers, because there was a batch I forgot to do it to, and they bubbled up.

My second snack was a Peanut Butter & Chocolate Granola Bar.  It was supposed to be crunchy, but I think I removed them from the oven a bit too soon.  They are not necessarily "chewy" but not hard, sort of an in between.  But taste awesome! So thats all that counts, right?

Here are the recipes, enjoy!
