Energy Bars

I’m still on my healthy kick since baking and eating way too many sweets around Valentine’s Day. I found a website, thanks to Pinterest, that shows how to make energy bars. Lately, I’ve been needing extra, extra energy to get me through my days teaching middle school math. I spent last week factoring trinomials. Soon I’ll have to face graphing quadratic equations. Still, I have to admit I’m having fun – and math was never my thing. Reading was, so I couldn’t resist today and had to pull out my Kindle before lunch and read the first few pages of Number The Stars to the sixth graders. Oh they rolled their eyes but it didn’t take long before I had some of them hooked.

So anyway, back to energy bars. Here’s the skinny. They are not Snickers or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They’re a healthy snack. It’s best not to get the two confused before you take a bite. These energy bars will come in handy when you’re ravenous and still have to cook dinner. Or, after school while you’re at your desk grading papers. Healthy, grab and go – that’s what makes these bars appealing.
