  1. Your mom knew a good recipe when she found one! I'm glad you shared it with us. It was definitely a quick one to pull together and the oatmeal makes me feel better about eating a yummy bar! I sprinkled half with nuts and left the other half plain for my nutty kids. Made, reviewed and photo-ed for PAC Spring '08.
     
  2. Very good bars they are like the ones my mom made when I was a kid. Love the oatmeal and the chocolate topping. Very quick to make and all the ingredients I usually have on hand. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.

I am trying to eat healthier, which means eating out less and cooking more. I had almost forgotten how much I love to cook!! I am also trying to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet. I live on the north side of Chicago and work as a pianist/piano teacher. For fun, I enjoy biking and going to festivals and farmers' markets. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
