Howdy true be-loggers, welcome to Sunday Leftovers! After yet another snow storm in the greater Philadelphia region, I can tell you that I am very tired of the white stuff and all the headache that comes with it. After believing the hype, the latest "blizzard" was all bust... but still caused me to stay indoors for two days. There is only so much TV a man can watch. That being said, I was somewhat productive, so let's open the fridge and see what's leftover.

[Interview Tips]
I went back and forth on whether I should include this article as part of Sunday Leftovers or let it stand alone. I decided to keep it separate but publish at the same time.

[Recipe of the Week: Homemade Granola Bars]
This recipe comes from the good people at: Wit & Whistle. Click the link to see awesome pictures. I made a few tweaks (very minor) to mine for health benefits (and I hate chocolate chips in granola bars)
2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup of ground flax seed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
In a large bowl mix oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, flax seed, nuts, cranberries and salt. Make an indention in the center of the mixture, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well. (Using your hands makes it easier to get everything coated.)
Press the mixture into the pan. Wit and Whistle suggests not going all the way to the ends of the pans because it is easier to get out the bars when done baking. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Cool for 5 minutes, cut the bars while they are still warm, and store the granola bars in an airtight container so they won’t dry out
NOTE: Check out the comments on Wit & Whistle - some of the readers had some very cool alternative ingredients
