One more of Alton Brown's healthy bar recipes...
This is the granola bar and isn't very complicated.

8 oz rolled oats

1.5 oz sunflower seeds
3 oz sliver almonds
1.5 oz wheat germ (store refrigerated)
Spread on cookie sheet and toast in 350 degree oven 15 minutes

In large saucepan, combine:
6 oz honey
1.75 oz dark brown sugar
1 oz butter
2 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
Stir over medium heat until dissolved.
Then add toasted mixture and
6.5 oz dried fruit, chopped (whichever flavor you'd like)
Mix until no liquid remains.
Press into well oiled 9x9 pan and bake at 300 degrees F for 25 minutes
Cool completely before cutting.

Can be stored 2-3 weeks in sealed container or longer in freezer.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
