It came to my attentiont that my 10 lb bag of oats
has not gotten that much use lately.
I mean, a girl can only eat so much oatmeal.
So I decided to make granola bars.
Because everyone loves granola bars.
And I could definitely use a quick snack to eat for breakfast.

old school with a knife.

*I think next time I'm going to try it with
chocolate chips and marshmallows.
*I think I need to buy a food processor.
But chopping old school wasn't too bad.
