Homemade Granola Bars

Welcome, I am back at the Delicious Dish Tuesday and this week I have some awesome homemade granola bars that make the perfect snack!
These bars are gooey, chewy, and yummy!!
There is really great flavor with chocolate and peanut butter but also oats, dried fruit, and flax seed!

Ingredients:

1 cup dried oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup peanuts (optional)

1/4 cup dried cranberries

Make it:

Mix everything together in a large bowl really well.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Then roll in to balls or spread on to a platter to make in to bars.

If making in to bars, after I spread it on the dish I put it in the freezer for a little bit so that it would stick together better before cutting them up.

Store in an airtight container refrigerated!

Chicken Salad Recipe

Chicken salad is the perfect, light summer snack or meal! A friend and co-worker brought this combo in to a potluck one night and I loved it!! What I love most about this recipe is that it doesn't use any mayo! (Thanks Kim!) The versatility of it is awesome too! You can eat it as a sandwich on a croissant, as a snack/dip with crackers or bread, or as an appetizer in some phyllo cups!

What you need:

1. Sweet vidalia onion dressing (approx. 1/2 cup, or to taste)
2. Shredded chicken
3. Grapes (approx. handful, cut up)
4. Celery (approx. 6-8 stalks diced up)
5. Sliced alomonds (approx. 1/2 2.25 oz. bag)

Make it:

1. Mix everything together and enjoy!!
