Rainy Day Recipes

The Lord has blessed us with an abundance of rain this week! This picture most definitely does not do justice to the swollen creeks and flooded parking lots and roads! But, nonetheless, it was a very wet day that I took it. So what do we do when it rains?

We wear warm dresses to school . . .

Play ball games inside . . .

Decorate the walls . . .

Browse the sale flyers . . .

And make yummy, yummy kid-friendly granola bars! :o) This recipe was definitely not "healthy," but it was very yummy and super easy!

Happy Baking!

Microwave Oatmeal Bars:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

In a bowl, combine oats and brown sugar. Stir in butter and corn syrup. Press in greased 9-inch square microwave-safe dish.

Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes. (Rotate half-way through if you don't have a turn-table.) Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Microwave at 30% power for 4-1/2 minutes or until chips are glossy; spread chocolate evenly over top.

Refrigerate 15-20 minutes before cutting.
