kashi golean snack bars

Okay. I'm making these a couple of times a week for school treats. I hope they're reasonably healthy.

3 or 4 cups Kashi Golean cereal
1 cup oats
1/2 dried cranberries
1/3 cup raisins
1 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter

Put fruit and oats into a food processor--and the almonds if they're huge.

heat the syrup and sugar until they are boiling. Turn off heat. Add peanut butter (and the original recipe has some vanilla) Stir to blend

Add fruit and cereals. mix well. Usually I end up using my hands.
Press with hands into 9x13 pan that's been sprayed with fat stuff. Put this in the fridge and then cut up and hide from the boys so they're for freaking SCHOOL snack.

    I just stumbled across your blog while searching for kashi go-lean recipes. I love Kashi Go-Lean because it is such a good tasting cereal with a high percentage of protein which is what I need. I try to eat every meal in a balanced way by determining the portions; my portions are 50% carb, 20% fat and 30% protein and Kashi Go-Lean fills this need. I will try your recommendation because it will be nice to change it up a bit.
    Thanks for the post.

    P.S. Here is my post on Kashi-Go Lean so you can see it really is a healthy cereal:

    I'll have to try this, but our need to be nut free as the school is a nut free environment. I'll make nutty ones for home. Now...where to find brown rice syrup?

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
